Włochaty & Darek Dusza i Demony / Workshop / Kraków

**Włochaty** - One of the most recognizable Polish punk bands. Formed in the second half of the 1980s in Szczecin by two school friends: Fagasa and Jeż. Their motto was: "if others can play, so can we". It so happened that Billy, who was recruited as the drummer, attended the same school. Thus Włochaty Odkurzacz (the name they started with) began its first rehearsals in 1986 in a school community center. Their first concert, with 2 guitars and drums, was performed on May 1, 1987 in one of Szczecin's clubs, right after the May Day parade. Katarzyna Nosowska (HEY) made her debut as a vocalist with the band for the first time. After Poland's systemic changes, the band also underwent changes. In 1990, Pauluss joined the band and the name was shortened by removing "odkurzacz". In 1991, under the name Włochaty, they self-released their first cassette titled "For Sale" in an edition of 100 copies. In 1993, they won an award and performed on the main stage at the Rock Musicians Festival in Jarocin. This was a breakthrough concert in the band's history. Again in Jarocin, Włochaty appeared as a guest in 2006, 2013, and 2022. In 2014, they gave an unforgettable concert at Przystanek Woodstock, and in 2023, promoting their latest album "Miłość, Pokój, Zamieszki" at Jurek Owsiak's invitation, WŁOCHATY performed at Pol'and'Rock. The band has performed many concerts on various stages across the country and numerous international tours, including France, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Ireland. They have shared the stage with genre classics such as: Chumbawamba, Misfits, Anti-Flag, The Exploited, Dead Kennedys, Steve Ignorant (Crass), Conflict, UK Subs, and Oi Polloi. For over three decades, Włochaty has been commenting on the reality surrounding them, whether in political or social matters. Over the years, they have recorded 10 studio albums, 2 live albums, 2 singles, several vinyl editions of their albums, and a book "Dopisać swój wers..." (2007). From the beginning in their
