"Excuse me, what's going to happen here?" - this is a question that every employee of a cultural institution hears at least once a week. To meet the curious and inquisitive people who want to know what is going to happen, we are launching a new series with the enigmatic title: "Excuse me, what's going to happen here?".
We want - somewhat following the example of Western clubs - to invite you to discover the new together in the dark. We want to get the audience used to the idea that it is sometimes worth going to a concert by a completely unknown artist, because you can find something extremely close to them - something that resonates with your sense of aesthetics, that stirs your emotions, that sounds as if it was created just for you.
We want to show you, dear viewers, that the Polish music scene is full of talent. That behind the name of a band that is not played on the radio and does not have hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, there is passion, heart and true art. Let the music we offer be to you like Kate Bush was to Max in Stranger Things - let it pull you out of Vecna's paws! May it become a bag of gunpowder that blows up your problems like Kmicic a colubrin! May he give you the strength to survive like potatoes to a Martian, wings like Red Bull, and care for your souls like the Mandalorians care for Baby Yoda!
EXPERIENCE:
= KNEDLOVE
music and life duo (not necessarily in that order), and their music reflects everything they experience together and alongside each other. There is no shortage of songs about the love and devotion they feel when they look into each other's eyes while washing dishes together. There is no shortage of songs about the longing they feel when one of them goes out to buy buns at the shop. There are also tracks as fiery and fierce as their arguments over who gets to play the console now. Their music is all about what's important in life. The band has been active since 2021 and has recorded two original albums and performed at festivals both in Poland and abroad, including the Pannonica Folk Festival, Suwałki Blues Festival, Valašský špalíček in the Czech Republic and Planet Laugarvatn in Iceland. They draw from many sources: soul, folk, jazz, rock and blues, combining these genres with their own lightness. Every concert by Eliza and Kacper is a unique adventure full of musical uplift and an absurd sense of humour. Their songs are stories that touch the hearts of listeners, because it is extremely easy to identify with them. Despite appearances, running a house, a band and an account together are not the only themes of their songs. They write most about emotions - the most deeply hidden ones - and the importance of finding one's own voice in the noise of thousands of others. They even recorded an entire album about it!
= Oskar Mir
A bit of Werther, a bit of Bohun. He likes Niemen and techno. He is a singer and author of alt-pop music - extremely atmospheric, with Polish lyrics and expressive, catchy vocals. His instrumentation combines guitars, synthesisers and hypnotic beats. Last year he released his debut album 'ORFEUSZ', on the 33 Records label from Poznań. He plays in a trio with Tom Czyżewski (.USMI, The White Panda) and Ragaboy - winner of gold and platinum records.

guitar alternative, golden age vibe, lofi, post-eclectic.
The Lublin cosmopolitan docked in Warsaw. Some time ago they left Sopot, from Maciek Cieślak's studio with new songs and a deck of fresh cards. Behind them are two successful premieres this year - the singles Skafander and Buziaki na dobranoc [Kisses goodnight] - which have made noise on the radio and streaming playlists. Both released under the SZUM Label.
