The winners of the competition for young bands and those that are not so very young at all but wanted to join our line-up are:
The Enters - a shoegaze/pop noise outfit from London (originally from Orneta). Their debut Small Town Love 12” vinyl EP was released in August this year. The album received wide positive response, being described as ”an impressive collection of dense noise pop” or ”awesome slab of 90′s excellence”. The follow-up EP is expected in 2015.
3moonboys - The band, who have already made a name for themselves on the Polish alternative underground scene, keeps surprising the listeners and refuses to be pigeonholed. Their records are thought-out from the very first chords to the unusual cover. We think it’s a great band that should be promoted worldwide.
We also added to the bill Przed Państwem Rara - the solo project of Rafał Skonieczny who suspended his band Hotel Kosmos and decided to embark on lone voyages through acoustic spaces.

This was the very song that concluded the 3dr edition of SpaceFest! Dead Skeletons proved they were beyond any contest musically as well as visually. The audience were trully amazed and not sure whether they were participating in a concert, an artistic performance or a tribal ritual – all of them absorbed every sound and enjoyed this strange hipnotoc ride. Even the organisers of SpaceFest! got swept off their feet during this gig – hence this slightly overenthusiastic post. 
It’s worth pointing out that the version of “Dead Mantra” is unique because Dead Skeletons were joined onstage by Ray Dickaty who’s saxophone made the song even more psychadelic. SpaceFest! is the only place where such things happen!
Before we release the full version of the SpaceFest! workshop and concerts documentary, we have the pleasure to present this short footage from the festival. Maybe it is a bit of a shorthand but nevertheless it pictures rather accurately the atmosphere of the event – so all of you who couldn’t make it to SpaceFest! will certainly have a reason to regret they’d missed it.
