They helped kick-start Britpop, yet they were never confined by it. With every album, Suede continue to prove they are one of the most important rock bands of our time, and last year's “Antidepressants” is no exception. The legendary group will finally return to Poland to perform on July 23rd at Progresja in Warsaw. Opening the night will be Bujaturla.
When they released the singles The Drowners, Metal Mickey, and Animal Nitrate in the early 1990s, they immediately caught the attention of the entire UK. Suede quickly became the hottest new band in the country - Melody Maker famously hailed them as "The Best New Band in Britain", and with the release of their self-titled debut album in 1993, they helped launch one of the most influential movements in modern popular music: Britpop.
Although Suede are often mentioned alongside Blur, Oasis, and Pulp, Brett Anderson and his bandmates drew inspiration from very different sources. Their music has always been far more eclectic, blending the influence of David Bowie with a constant desire to explore new sonic territory, without ever sacrificing memorable hooks. That adventurous spirit remains at the heart of everything they do, and it continues to define each new release.
On July 23rd, Suede will return to Poland for the first time in seven years, taking the stage at Progresja in Warsaw.
Bujaturla are modern-day troubadours searching for a cure in writing love letters to nostalgia. Their music is a fusion of different eras, performed with three singing lutes and a traditional drum. Hailing from Warsaw, the band features musicians associated with acts such as Syndrom Paryski and Zwidy. This year, they are also set to perform at OFF Festival and Great September.
