Max Diesing on “33 and a third” years of running Prague indie music store

Max Diesing runs Maximum Underground, an alternative music shop located in Prague’s Old Town for many years. In fact the American says he is just about to mark his business’s “33 and a third” birthday as a fixture on the city’s alternative music scene.

We spoke at the store on Jílská St.
