Czech underground music group founded in 1973 by Pavel Zajicek and Mejla Hlavsa. Its name derives from the name of a psychiatric diagnosis that allowed young men to obtain a blue book and avoid compulsory military service. Together with The Plastic People of the Universe and other underground bands, DG 307 was the target of persecution by the communist regime. The repression culminated in 1976, when Zajicek was also arrested and imprisoned for a year. After his release, there were only two concerts DG 307 in 1979. In 1980 Zajicek emigrated and the group did not develop any activity. In 1992, Zajicek revived the band together with Hlavsou with the project Artificially Flavored. Since 2016 the band has been inactive due to Zajicek’s health. The only permanent member of the band was its leader Pavel Zajíček. Other members of the band at various times were Milan Hlavsa, Michal Koval, Ivan Bierhanzl, Tomáš Schilla, Petr Fučík, Tomáš Vtípil, Dalibor Pyš, Josef Janíček, Ivo Pospíšil, Vladimir "Hendrix" Smetana, Vladimir Vyšín, Jaroslav Kukal, Jan Kindl, Miloslav Hajek, Otakar "Alfréd" Michl, Jan Sahara Hedl, Pavel Zeman, Ladislav Leština, Antonín Korb, Eva Turnová, René Starhon, Pavel Cigánek, Josef "Bobes" Rössler, Tobiáš Jirous, Oto Sukovský and others.
