Pure Phase Ensemble 7 will be curated by Maciej Cieślak of the legendary Polish band Ścianka, who said: “We will try to invent music from scratch, and naturally fail at doing so, but let’s hope we create something interesting in the process.” Michał Gos (Oczi Cziorne, Lonker See, Band A) – one of the most prominent musicians of the Gdańsk independent scene – will play the drums. We will also hear Nasiono Records’ very own Karol Schwarz (7faz, Karol Schwarz All Stars), who has been responsible for the musical cohesion of the PPE project from the very outset. The band’s line-up will be completed by young musicians: Adam Neubauer (Pedal Distorsionador), Łukasz Sasko (Ze Velocipedes, B=Hearts), Łukasz Żurawski, Juliusz Kapka (No toca co), Michał Pollok-Andrys and Emilia Pollok-Andrys. The effects of the workshop will be presented live on 2 Dec on the SpaceFest! 2017 stage at B90.

New Candys (IT) is the next band joining our SpaceFest 2017 line-up! “Psychedelic power trip that demands your attention from its opening bars” (according to Drowned in Sound) is coming your way! Just listen!
Let’s announce another SpaceFest 2017 band: Blind Butcher (CH) – with a big dose of space rock, glam, glitter, lycra and sequins as well as some physical culture. Time to dance, yeah!
Well, this is basically a competition for Polish bands that play sheogaze, space rock and all kinds of weird stuff. But if you are not Polish and you think your music fits our festival and your only dream is to play at SpaceFest! then try your luck and contact us at love@spacefest.pl (send us links to your bandcamp etc). Who knows – maybe we’ll fall in love with your music and we’ll invite you to come over – if not this year the maybe in 2018.
And if you have supernatural powers and can speak Polish, check the rules of the competition:
