For over a decade, the Polish band Trupa Trupa has been unleashing idiosyncratic blasts of psychedelic rock with a sharp post-punk edge, using music as a form of catharsis as well as activism. The group — Grzegorz Kwiatkowski and Wojtek Juchniewicz on vocals and guitar, plus Tomek Pawluczuk on drums — is now gearing up for the release of their new EP, “Mourners,” along with a performance at New York’s Heaven can wait on March 1.

Review of Ohne Orchester – Literatur und Kritik
Als der polnische Dichter Grzegorz Kwiatkowski noch ein Kind ist, macht sein Großvater mit ihm einen Ausflug. Es ist kein Ausflug, an dessen Ende beide freudig an einem Eis schlecken, einen Drachen steigen lassen oder mit erwärmten Herzen ein Zirkuszelt wieder verlassen. Es ist ein Ausflug in die Vergangenheit, an dessen Ende für Grzegorz Kwiatkowski sich die Frage, warum Menschen einander hassen und umbringen, wie ein Ungeheuer über das Himmelszelt spannt.
