Tower Pub

St Grodzka 4

9 p.m.

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.

>>Południca!, start at 20:00
Południca describes its music as metro-ethno -trans played on pre-piano, pre-trumpets, primitive drums, pre-guitars and other obscure and forgotten instruments. They are inspired by traditional eastern European music, but they are also keen decomposers and deconstructionists of tradition, inviting you to explore the darker side of  the world music.

>>Concert, Student’s festiwal; Alternative Music on Juwenalia

The hedonous end of the semester drunkfest that is Juwenalia for many years has been incredibly predictable.  The same pop stars, same bands, the same, the same hangovers with just the student population changing slightly from year to year.  Well… things have changed a bit.  From last year the people that bring you the Niepokorni series in Zaczek have developed an alternative program for those of you out there looking for something different, perhaps strange, maybe even new during the Juwe festivities.  Juwe-Niepokorni 2009 will feature Dick 4 Dick, Pustki, New Century Classics, and Please the Trees.  For anyone in the know about alternative music scene, this is a suptuos meal of alternative bands spanning all kinds of genres, nationalities and styles.  Dick 4 Dick will bring the crazy electro pageantry; Pustki will bring the elaborately delicate and beautifully raw indie rock; NCC will unload a boatload of orchestral and intricate post-rock; Please the Trees comes straight out of the Czech forest and rocks the alt country and modern rock.  Newcomers Pchełki and The Recycling Center will also be featured and show the crowd what the next generation thinks about Alternative music.  So if you’re gonna drink beer out of a plastic cup for 5 days why night do it at the most interesting and inovative concert of Juwe 2009.
