TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

Come to Rozrywki 3 on Wednesday, 18 January (from 20.00 until 4.00, they say!!!) for the “No-Step” party / concert.

The NO STEP party invites you to imaginate the times when tribal and minimal beats did not yet rule the dancefloors of Kraków. Let us listen instead to the nostalgic and romantic sounds of the eighties and yes even earlier. Gird yourself up for a decent dose of guitar noise.

Several bands will be playing, and you’ll sit at home incessantly trawling Facebook, and you will be making a terrible mistake by missing:

• Kaseciarz – Surf rock straight from and to the heart (like a syringe full of epinephrin) of Małopolska. Everything they’ve recorded, they’ve recorded for free. No-budget is the new low-budget. Check them out  and hear their stuff here and here.
• The Pleasure Is Mine – The band formed in 2008 when they met at a party in the long-departed (and their bio says LENDARY – I didn’t know it was LEGENDARY) B-Side Club. Cold wave, they say, Shoegazer, so wear nice shoes. Their first record will appear on the scene in the spring. Know them, love them through all orafices here and here before you go.
• By Proxy – A two-person group which sprouted and spread four long years ago right here in Kraków. Presently they’re developing new material live, so that’s what you’ll hear here and here.
• Cat’s Whiskers – Two musical members (what’s a musical member?) and one in charge of visuals. Does that make the third a visual member? All three members share in a love of cats and of The Smiths.

All this costs 10 PLN to add to your life, which is less than the price of 1/4 of an onion in most countries. Put on your snowboots and dance yourself silly.

Due to activity of some dark power few popular entertaining places has collapsed. Perhaps it’s a sign we should turn our yeas into different source of fun.

Maybe gigantic bookshelf on the facade of the building at Traugutta 3a (on the way to Schindler’s Factory and MOCAK ) will encourage you to read more. Typomural is a part of a project Free Reading Zone. More about the project you can read on the website of ArtBoom Festival.
