Prague, 8 September 2010 - T-Mobile has prepared another appealing offer for fans of Czech music. A new Chinaski album titled "Není na co čekat" ("Nothing to Wait For") is being released today exclusively on www.t-music.cz. Customers of the Czech Republic's biggest operator can get the band's eighth studio release for CZK 99; customers of other operators will pay CZK 149. The album will be available on CD at shops in two weeks.

"Chinaski has joined other popular Czech bands like Wohnout, Vypsaná fixa and Kryštof that decided to cooperate with us," says Michal Němec, Vice President Portal & Content Services at T-Mobile, adding: "We are happy that the partnership with renowned Czech musicians and the t-music brand enables us to offer a number of add-ons to fans. Musicians, on the other hand, can enjoy our marketing support for their new albums and concert tours."

The autumn t-music Chinaski tour, which will kick off on 28 September in Pardubice, will be produced internationally by renowned British designer Simon Sidi, who has produced the last five years of American Idol as well as concerts of such music stars as Depeche Mode, Kanye West and Annie Lennox. Music fans have plenty to look forward to: the unconventional stage is designed in such way that fans can stand in its very centre. The increasingly popular Eddie Stoilow will be the opening act on the entire tour.

T-Mobile Czech Republic will support the autumn 2010 Chinaski tour with a number of additional events. Fans of the band that are customers of T-Mobile will get a discount if they purchase tickets via a mobile telephone. Mobile tickets cost CZK 249, while regular tickets can be purchased for CZK 299.

In addition, T-Mobile has prepared a contest in which participants can win three 3GS iPhones with a special Chinaski tour skin. The first winner will also get a SIM card with the BAV SE tariff plan for one year free of charge. The second and third winners will get a Twist coupon with credit of CZK 400 in addition to the handset. In order to participate, contestants need to register by sending an SMS with CHINASKI START to 900 11 03 and correctly answer the questions which were prepared by the members of Chinaski. The greater the number of correct answers the participant sends, the more chances he/she has to win. Customers of all operators may participate in the contest.
