Unsound – FUTURE SHOCK

From introduction: “This year’s theme of the festiwal is borrowed from the prophetic and best-selling 1970 book by Alvin Toffler, which described the disorienting effects of accelerated technological and social change. Confronted with an unprecedented sense of iformation overload, many artists reach bockward, side-ways and forward to re-imagine the future from the vantage point of the past , filtered through the present via outmoded technologies or disjointed contexts”

During one week (8.10- 16.10) you have a chance attend concerts, workshops, installations and movies. Let’s experience and try to ask ourselves about the future.

Full program you can find here and other useful info as locations and tickets.

Alternative Music on Juwenalia

5-10th May

>>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.

Where: Open Stage at Klub Żaczek ; Al. 3 Maja 5
