The bands that performed with 'Don't Panic! We're From Poland' were Rebeka (feat. Iwona Skwarek and Bartosz Szczęsny) and Non-Human Persons (feat. Lee Margo and Mito Day).
The Rebeka duo is the winner of the Polish Album of 2013 award. Iwona Skwarek and Bartosz Szczęsny create lively alternative pop music with the use of a number of analogue synthesizers from the 80s, as well as toy instruments and guitars. Rebeka take their live performances seriously. Both musicians are perfectionists and keep repeating that work on their live sound will never be finished, as they constantly invent new variants of each of their separate works, as well as the "order" of the entire performance.
Their aim is to have control over what happens on the stage – they don't want to just reproduce their studio recordings, but to play live as much as possible, which isn't too easy to achieve when playing as a duo. This is why one can hear something different in both their concerts and their records. The Poznań-based duo has already performed in England (The Great Escape), Germany, France, the USA (CMJ Music Marathon), and Slovakia.
