Biography

Prague based VITACIT was established by guitarists Pavel 'Kuře' Hejè and Jiří­ Kadlec, bassist Karel Adam and keyboard player Václav Procházka during 1972. VITACIT notably featured former TANJA guitarist MILOŠ 'DODO' DOLEŽAL. Doležal would strike out for a solo career debuting with the 1991 album 'My Little World' which also saw the inclusion of VITACIT drummer Ivan Polák.

VIACIT evolved throughout their early years by first seeing the departure of Procházka in 1976. That same year the band introduced guitarist Jaroslav 'Jarda' Kunka and drummer Tomáš Hubáček. However,in 1978 the formation shifted shape again as Kadlec opted out, Danny Horyna was introduced as lead vocalist and Libor Ludví­k on drums, the latter swiftly replaced by Václav Pokorný. The following year Kunka was superseded by Jiří­ Löffelmann, this formation, despite having Luděk Adámek enroll on bass in 1981, remaining relatively stable into the 80s until Michal Bohumel was inducted on guitar in 1983 then Ladislav Křížek took over the lead vocal spot in 1985 and Bohumel was substituted by Albert Čížek briefly before Miloš Doležal assumed the position. VITACIT issued a ten song demo cassette in 1986. New man on the drums in 1988 would be Ivan Polák. Following 7" single releases and fan club live cassettes, VITACIT's inaugural full-length commercial outing came with the album 'Vzhůru Přes Oceán' released through Multisonic in 1990. VITACIT's line-up fractured once again in 1991, as Doležal and Polák opted out. Three new members included the ex-DOKTOR TRICERATOPS pairing of singer František 'Fanny' Stehlí­k and guitarist Petr Kocour plus ARAKAIN and ŘETĚZ drummer Štěpán Smetáček. The latter would in turn be replaced by another ARAKAIN credited drummer, Lukáš Doksanský but in 1993 VITACIT folded.

VITACIT was resurrected in 1995, quoting a membership comprising Miloš Doležal, MOTORBAND and KREYSON guitarist Libor Matějčík (a.k.a. Libor Greiner), bassist Karel Adam and the MOTORBAND, KREYSON and AYERDELL credited Daniel Hafstein on drums. Matějčík's position was taken by GRIZZLY's Robin Daví­dek in 1996 but a year later VITACIT split once again.

Doležal would also feature on the 1995 solo album 'Noční Město' by DANNY HORNYA. Doležal gained production credits on the 2002 'Oceans Of The Lost' album from Austrian Gothic Rockers FLOODLAND.
