"Listening to "Death of a Surfer Girl".
Wow the singer's got a great voice, reminds me of...of... got it ...
sounds just like Billy Idol."

   Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran)

"Polish vintage rockers mix in blues-rock with a hint of rockabilly. Jon Spencer meets Chuck Berry".

   Paste Magazine 2011 SXSW

The best Polish album of 2011? Who knows. Although, technically, it was released last year, it's state of mind is way ahead. World class.

   Piotr Metz - Wprost

All we can do is listen and applaud that Poles can do it so well.

   Robert Sankowski - Gazeta Wyborcza

For me, the big discovery was L.Stadt and their second album. I think if it had been released in England and properly promoted, it would have had a chance for real success.

   Marek Sierocki - TVP

L.Stadt (...) Like an unruly youngster who loves to get dressed up at the party and constantly surprise unwitting old geezers. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a Polish record this much.

   Marek Świrkowicz - Teraz Rock

So what that the vocalist sounds like Damon Albarn. The boys from Łódź blow the competition out of the water with their second album.

   Machina

“Poland's L.Stadt don't mess around when it comes to bringing the rock... they bring a city worth of it when they hit the stage.”

   The Indie Machine / INDIE WEEK Canada

L.Stadt Bio


L.Stadt harmoniously fuses modern rock with old school. Their songs feature powerful electric guitar, the energetically pulsating rhythms of two drummers and modern chords with melodic flavor.

Before releasing first album the band was honored by being invited to the main stage at 2007 OFF Festival in Myslowice and their songs can be found on numerous compilations, such as: “OFFensywa”, “Program Alternatywny”, “FDM”, as well as on the soundtrack (distributed by EMI Poland) to the movie Absolute Beginner.

L.Stadt’s self-titled debut album (released by agency Eventmusic), which hit the shelves on 29th of February 2008, was met with gushing reviews and the Polish media declared the band to be Polish music’s greatest hope. 2008 was touring year and L.Stadt hit single "Londyn" (only song in polish) was nominated for the best rock song of the year at Poland‘s prestigious ESKA Music Awards in 2009. The band is also an ambassador of the city of Lodz in its efforts to be named the European Capital of Culture 2016.

Between 2008 and 2009 L.Stadt played twice at one of the biggest festivals in europe Heineken Open'er and rocked at the PKOBP London Live festival at Wembley Arena. Band was touring constantly these two years also abroad playing for instance biggest Lithuanian Festival Be2gether that time. During the ViertelFest in Bremen, they recorded song “Jeff” which live take was used later on second album.

For the time of first trip to America boys played 2 night and 2 day showcases at SXSW in Austin TX and 9 other gigs including Houston, Dallas and Ft.Worth. Throughout that year they performed at most popular festivals in Poland like DachOOFka, Two editions of Taste & Feel Festival, Maj Music, ENGliwice, Heineken Open'er, Slot Art and Coke Festival. They also performed on showcase festival “Don't Panic... We're From Poland” in Warsaw presenting best polish acts.
Playing FILTER MAGAZINE Cedar Street showcase on SXSW fructified with second trip overseas where band showed their skills playing three gigs on CULTURE COLLIDE Festival in L.A. sharing the stage with White Lies. Afterwards at INDIE WEEK Canada in Toronto L.Stadt was amongst 10 finalist out of 170 bands.
Last months of 2010 L.Stadt was finishing work on their second album and touring with club gigs. Band decided to cooperate for album in mix and mastering with Mikael Count, San Franciscan producer known from working with names like DJ Shadow, Radiohead or No Doubt.
On the 6th of december album named EL.P was released by main polish independent label Mystic Production.

2011 started great, L.Stadt was recommended by Metro daily newspaper in Toronto to (be seen) on Canadian Music Week and Paste Magazine put L.Stadt into 100 bands at 25th anniversary SXSW and wrote "Polish vintage rockers mix in blues-rock with a hint of rockabilly. Jon Spencer meets Chuck Berry".
April 2011 L.Stadt wins "Warranties of Culture", polish cultural national TV award in category "rock, jazz and other" for EL.P album.
In summer L.Stadt plays a lot polish festivals like Streetwaves, Frytka OFF, Seven Festival music&more or biggest independent event OFF Festival, as well as they rocked at Moscow Afisha Picnic sharing main stage with Kaiser Chiefs. Came also second time to Belgrade to perform at Beer Fest In Serbia.
