August 4: Crazy sounds of Polish music!
4th of August, 9:00 p.m. PEARL Festival Club
The Snowman band was founded by musicians from Poznan, Poland, in 2002 and since then they have given over one hundred concerts in Poland and other European countries.
From the very beginning they’ve been attracting their fans with the music they created and with accompanying visualizations. Such terms as post rock, jazz, electronic, trans jazz, progressive rock, psychedelic, guitar alternative or experimental need to be used to describe the type of music they perform.
In 2009 they released their first album called ‘Lazy’ and were nominated for MATEUSZ Music Award, given out by Polish Radio Channel III, in the ‘Debut of the year‘ category. Lately they’ve released ‘Lumikulu’ album which is an experimental project created with children.
Film and theatre are intertwined with their music. They composed soundtracks to F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, R.Wiene’s Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Chaplin’s Gold Rush. Their music was used during Mouth to Mouth Republic Theatre shows (Driver, Cadillac, Alice 0-700…, The Embassy).
They are often associated and compared with Pink Floyd, Mogwai, Coldplay, Legendary Pink Dots, Dave Matthews Band and even with Janis Joplin or Norah Jones.
