TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

If you go a bit outside of the city you can find interesting spots, like for example Garaż on Kasztelańska st.

Artistic project based in real garage by graphic couple Nina & Piotrek. Place works pretty well from last year, every month exhibition, concert or just a meeting for friends from friends.

Tonight in Garaż – Pwee3000 showing his works for the very first time and concert of Świniary who describe their music as hahard rock and hard cock. Short description says Pwee3000 was raised by travelling, skateboarding and snowboarding. Go and check by yourself how he absorb the world and spit it out in his drawings.

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.

Maybe some life music while your clothes getting clean?

There is only one answer: Uda on tour in Frania Cafe on Thursday evening (29.07)

Uda music is something between spy jazz and insane avant-garde rock, less alternative tunes also included.

With proud pleasure The Manggha Center presents Sing Sing Penelope (self-described “modern European / Polish jazz”) mixing and collaborating with DJ Strangefruit. Paul “Strangefruit” Nyhus is a Norwegian legend (he is indiesputable! Do not dispute him!) and a veteran of the brutal and tragic Dance Music Wars of the late 90s which claimed so many young talents. He may count Nils Petter Molvaer as an ally and sometimes-collaborator, and also Röyksopp’s Thorbjørn Brundtland. The performers have been carefully prepared for their task, which will be the construction of an evolved dialogue between jazz and dance / electronica music. The musicians will begin their interaction on Tuesday at 20.00 and it’s free, unlike most of the things which happen at Manggha.
