Myslovitz and Cool Kids of Death at a Rock Festival
August

Myslovitz is among the best known representatives of the Polish alternative scene, and is often referred to as the Polish ‘Oasis.’ Formed in 1992 by Artur Rojek - a self-assured physical education teacher from Mysłowice who was eagerly listening to British alternative music – the band was immediately hailed as a revolution on the Polish independent scene and went from success to success with a string of hit albums.

Cool Kids of Death is famous for its sharp lyrics and the piercing voice of its lead singer. After their 2002 debut album, the band’s members quickly became both icons of rebellion and the new hope of Polish rock. They rapidly conquered the Polish market and set out to tackle the international scene: amongst others they have supported Lenny Kravitz, The Stooges and Iggy Pop. During the concerts in Israel, the band will be promoting its fourth studio album – Afterparty - which was released in May of this year.
