[1] The band is led by guitarist and composer Slávek Janda, who is the only member to have remained with Abraxas from its formation until the present day.

Abraxas continued with Janda, Ditrich, Nohavica, and new members Jaroslav Trachta (saxophone) and Ladislav Sosna (drums).

Abraxas toured a lot around this time, with two albums following in close succession: Midnight City in 1985 and Šťastnej blázen in 1986.

In 1988, the band was briefly reduced to a trio consisting of Janda, Smrčka, and Josef Havlíček on drums, before going on an extended hiatus.

Slávek Janda embarked on several side projects, working with Jana Koubková in the group Panta Rhei and forming Yandim Band.

The band then decided to reform, with their formation consisting of previous members Janda, Imrich, Pelíšek, and the addition of bassist Martin Kadnár and drummer David Růžička.

Ivan Doležálek, who also played with Janda in SJB and Yandim Band, joined on bass, and Růžička was replaced by Eduard Štěpánek on drums.

That year, the band celebrated 35 years of existence and on 19 October 2011, the celebrations culminated in a concert at Prague's Retro Music Hall in the presence of all the band's previous drummers as well as other guests, including Imran Musa Zangi, Matěj Ruppert, Viktor Dyk, and Varhan Orchestrovič Bauer.
