TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

Stand back!  The dim, tiny and infinitely smoky Naukowa in Kazimierz will host USA’s EAR PWR on Sunday, 22 November.  The concert starts at 19.00.  It might actually be the exact opposite of the Monday English Meditation that starts at the same time the following day — at the Buddhist center on Augustiańska there’s still, silent focussed reflection and the delicate scent of incense and the wood floors.  At the EAR PWR concert you’ll sink your teeth into synthesizers that at times can sound like crazed but competent squirrels got into your Nintendo (the one from 1987), and these squirrels might enjoy listening to The Knife sometimes on their downtime.  Meditation offers tea and clarity; the EAR PWR show has beer and irresistible rhythmic movement and could be an awful lot of fun.  So why not do both?  24 hours might just be enough to recover from EAR PWR.
