Trupa Trupa Plays London
The Polish band Trupa Trupa will appear at the popular London club Café Oto on 8 August 2016.
Trupa Trupa will perform music from their album Headache, released on a British label. In the Los Angeles Times, music journalist Sasha Frere-Jones recognized Headache as one of the best albums of 2015.
The band is comprised of Gregorz Kwiatkowski, Tomek Pawluczuk, Wojtek Juchniewicz, and Rafał Wojczal, musicians hailing from Poland’s Tri-Cities. They recorded their first EP in 2010 (MP3, 2010) and soon after released their debut album (LP, 2011). The debut was received warmly, but without much fanfare. Their breakthrough came with their album ++ (2013), recorded in the New Synagogue in Wrzeszcz. The album’s cabaret-circus character attracted the interest of the press (both in Poland and abroad) and became popular among listeners. The band’s rock emploi was refreshed by guest musicians Tomasz Ziętka (trumpet) and jazz legend Mikołaj Trzaska (saxophone)
The band is currently working on new material. Recording will take place in the autumn and winter of this year, with the album to be released in the spring of 2017. The recording will be a co-production among studios in France, England, and New York.

The concert is organized with the support of the Polish Cultural Institute in London.
