Polvo & Ed Wood @ Forty Kleparz, Kraków – 1 VI 2010
Almost no lights, thick layer of smoke in the whole club and the standard “please don’t use flash”. Pretty hard conditions which partly prevented me from capturing the “big ball of energy” that both Ed Wood and Polvo are. I think the bands applied the rule: the more volume we’ll have the less lights should be used. Yes, it has to be that.
Big thanks to Emi & Cyp from Front Row Heroes! These guys will rock your socks with the gigs they’re organising. Not only they are very nice people but a huge music and gig lovers that will talk with you about all the awesome things that they’ve listened to and seen live. They’ve been organizing gigs for a half a year now and I must say that they brought a lot of interesting stuff to Warsaw and Kraków. Sooo (a bit of marketing tone and text now) if you see something done by the Front Row Heroes, you can be sure it’s really good. (Ok, the commercial is over;).
Be sure to check The Ruby Suns and HEALTH they’ll be doing this year!

Basia Bulat @ Klub Forty, Kraków – 1 XII 2009
A new club, a new concert agency and a little bit different approach towards the photos – I think this could sum up the events of the previous night. A very good night with a wonderful performance by Basia Bulat, a Canadian singer of Polish origin.
Lots of singing, folk and smiling – that’s how you can describe the gig without going into long and boring details. Basia herself is a very charming girl with a beautiful voice – again a strong concert recommendation from me!
I didn’t have to rush while shooting so the photos are a mix of focusing on the overall, small details and a couple of similar shots of “what’s next” kind. I didn’t want to disturb the musicians and the people who came to see them so there was a lot of crawling involved. Hope you like them!
The Front Row Heroes folks (Emi and Cyp) are really nice people, who have their minds set on not-so-well-known-but-still-worth-listening-to music. Their aim is to bring interesting acts to Poland and Basia’s Kraków gig was their first “official” gig (they did Handsome Furs and Sunsed Robdown earlier this year). They have many plans for the following months (the closest one is Gaba Kulka with Robert Rasz again in Forty club) and be sure to follow their website, twitter and visit their gigs. Such ideas and plans have to be promoted.
The pics were done for the Front Row Heroes folks, but if you want to buy any of them for a publication just contact us.
