Twin brothers Josef and Jan Prasil were born in Germany but grew up in Italy. Their parents have roots in the Czech Republic and Australia. Seeking to advance their music career, they later moved to Australia. In 2019, the duo decided to relocate back to Europe.
Amistat's musical identity finds resonance in the modern soundscapes reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel, while drawing influence from artists like Ben Howard, Kings of Convenience, and Kodaline. Their music truly comes to life in a live setting, offering a haven for emotional connection, healing, and inspiration. Their vocal harmonies, which result from the interplay of their distinct personalities and musical inclinations, create a distinctive synergy that's best experienced firsthand.
Their lyrics are deeply authentic and reflect the wisdom they've gathered from their experiences in life and love. Their songs are a medium through which they share their personal stories and the insights they've gleaned along the way, many of which were written during their travels.
As twins, Josef and Jan share a unique bond that infuses their music with an exceptional connection. Their harmonies are impeccably intertwined, reflecting their shared closeness and understanding. This fusion is further enriched by their sincere and narrative vocal delivery. Amistat is able to translate their sources of inspiration, often drawn from their life on the road, into their music. Their sentiments, aspirations, and dreams blend seamlessly to convey a genuine and unfiltered message to their audiences.
In a world where authenticity and relatability resonate deeply with listeners, Amistat's music speaks to the heart and mind, offering a testament to the power of personal experience and the universality of emotions.
Since 2012, Amistat have released six EP’s and their debut album ‘Parley’ which saw them embark on a number of Australian and European tours including performances at some of Australia's finest Festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, National Folk Festival, Fairbridge and Nannup. The duo further won the Marton Guitar Emerging Artist of the Year 2018 Award at the Port Fairy Folk Festival 2018.
Following a two month tour with Australian band "Sons of the East" playing 49 shows in 15 countries, Amistat followed up with their own headline tour through Europe and the UK in autumn 2019 before heading to their second home Australia for a national tour. In 2022 the duo played over 150 shows in less than 7 months across 10 countries including shows South Africa and Italy.
Following their highly successful European tour in April 2023, with packed venues across multiple continents totaling over 10,000 tickets sold, Amistat returned to the stage again in 2024. With sold-out maiden performances in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Belgium, along with performances at renowned venues like Munich's "Tohalle" and three consecutive sold-out shows at Vienna's WUK, they doubled their ticket sales compared to last year with close to 20.000 tickets sold.
Join them on their musical journey as they continue to inspire and connect with audiences around the world!

There is a certain resilience, albeit sometimes desperate to The Wealthy West’s songs. The solo moniker for The Rocketboys’ frontman Brandon Kinder, The Wealthy West sings songs that fully encapsulate someone who has chosen to step away from the comfortable, from his friends and easy relationships, and is trying to figure out his place in life. As if leaving the house with the door flung open and marching into the unknown, he periodically turns around to make sure that his real life is still there before plunging forward.
Kinder, raised in - and now returned to - Memphis has spent all of his adult life in music. Forming The Rocketboys during college in Abilene, TX, he and the group moved to Austin thereafter, gaining much critical praise for their several EPs and albums. They continue to grow, having recently toured the US for the 6th time, as well as a soon-to-be-repeated tour of Germany.
However, along the way, and in search of a more personal voice Kinder took a handful of demos and released “The Wealthy West Volume 1”. As with The Rocketboys, these songs released in 2011 found much success with TV and film music supervisors, landing numerous placements and touching The Rocketboys’ fanbase. This success was followed with his first full-length, “Long Play”, which was an iTunes Best-of-2016 LP and featured fan favorites “The Highest Tide” and “That Silver Line”.
Musically The Wealthy West sits between the storied troubadours of the 60’s and modern solo artists such as Bon Iver and Father John Misty; there is a gritty quality to his delicate voice - with just enough pain hidden behind fragile beauty to keep the listener guessing.
While “Long Play” was essentially a record about traveling and searching, The Wealthy West’s new album “The Right Regrets” is the record for when you arrive and realize there are no easy answers. A self-described “depressing record”, as beautiful and wide-ranging as it is, it keeps emotions close to the surface: Many of the songs are conversational as Kinder talks about his fears, hopes and frustrations. “Wasting Time” is exasperated. “Underneath The Rubble” brings respite. “Help” is a plain acknowledgment that the game of life cannot be won alone and several of the other songs echo the need for the succor of love and kinship.
As with the last record, the listener is not left with a sense of finality, but more with the notion that another chapter in a much larger story has been told, and a new one has yet to begin. In this respect Kinder is truly creating a body of work, charting an uneasy path through a uncertain world, spurred on by just enough hope to keep going, but not enough to stop questioning.
