Rangers – Plavci

Aliases: Plavci
Rangers
The Rangers
Country: Czech Republic
Comments: Country pop group originally named "Rangers". In 1971 the Rangers were forced to change their name into "Plavci" (Swimmers). The official reason was that a Czech band name could not be the same as that of "American killers in Vietnam" (the US Army Rangers).

Antonín Hájek Vocals, bass
Milan Dufek Vocals
Jan Vančura Vocals, guitar
