GUERILLA RECORDS SHOWCASE

Guerilla Records showcase – starting with the last year’s edition of “The East of Culture” in Lublin, a showcase of leading indie/off record labels has become one of the staples of the Festival. In 2014 we presented the creative output and publishing initiatives of Ola and Mikołaj Trzaska – founders and coordinators of Kilogram Records. This year, we have invited representatives of Guerilla Records, one of the most dynamic Czech independent labels. Since its inception it has been run by the aficionado and enthusiast of the local alternative scene Vladimir Drapal. This critically acclaimed and well established company boasts an impressive roster of artists, including legendary acts such as The Plastic People of the Universe, DG307, and Pólnoc. On a regular basis the label also assists up-and-coming bands and aspiring performers. Thanks to the label’s unfettered drive, systematic dedication and inspired consequence, the Czech alternative scene has been blooming for quite some time now. During “The East of Culture” – Different Sounds Festival we will present the whole spectrum of music available through Guerilla Records and we will talk to the label’s creators about the state of the alternative scene south of Poland.



DG 307 (CZECH REPUBLIC)

One of the most respected legends of the Czech underground scene. Founded in Prague by poet Pavel Zajick and bassist Milan Hlavsa (also associated with the Plastic People of the Universe). In the frenzy and claustrophobic confinement of the 1970s, DG 307 became a symbol of free thought, unbridled creativity, and dissident expression. The band’s growing popularity led to repression on the part of the authorities. Pavel Zajicek, leader of DG 307, spent a considerable amount of time in prison; in the 1980s he was even forced to abandon Czechoslovakia (he left for Sweden and then moved to New York). The geo-political changes that took place as a result of “The Velvet Revolution” (1989) enabled him to return to Prague. At present, the reactivated line-up of DG 307 tours, keeping the counter-cultural fire ablaze as well as it did back in the day – in its underground heyday.
