Seek on New Tradition
(11.04.2005) Finally we have managed to find a title of our new record. It will be called "Szukaj!", which means "Seek!" The album consists of 9 new compositions - about 66 minutes of music. Some people say this CD is completely different from our previous album "Idą czasy". We don't think so. "Seek!" is rather like development of the ideas from "Idą →
Gardzienice
(30.03.2005) We have just returned from small village near Lublin, called Gardzienice. We - means: few people from the band. In Gardzienice works alternative theatre well-known all over the world as Ośrodek Praktyk Teatralnych Gardzienice (www.gardzienice.art.pl). We went there to see last spectacle - "Elektra" - in place of its birth. And take some of energy who is beating on this scene and →

Strange feelings after
(10.12.2004) Hm... album is recorded. Now it's time for engineer and producer Leszek Kamiński. It is so strange feeling when you know all your work is done and there is nothing you can add to recorded world. All you can do is just sitting and waiting for the results of mix and master. Of course you got lot of work ahead →
Changes before the recording session
(26.11.2004) Changes, changes, changes. Janusz Kossakowski will be play with us. The prevoius drummer, Paweł Jedliński, stayed by bad side of the Power and with no word left our band. Tomorrow we hit the studio. Tension, uncertainty and excitement.
Number 50!
(16.11.2004) We have played concert #5o! At first it was planned to be done in Lublin, but finally we made it in Warsaw, at Traffic club, 6th of November. Nine days before this gig our drummer Paweł had just stopped to arrive at the rehearsals, telling us that he is not able to play this unniversary gig. So we asked Janusz Kossakowski (drummer of →

It means making the rehearsals' plan plus thinking about the set-list for CD and about the whole rest of important elements of the project. The band is in a good mental form. The plans for promotional moves are bigger →
Kasia Klebba – ’cause we got luck
(5.08.2004) It is not easy to lead a band, whose main violinist has been touring a world with another band... Of course, we got a brilliant "substitute", but sometimes Damian got his own priorities and is not able to play with us. That's the case of gig in Lapidarium Club (Warsaw, Old Town, August 20th). But we are lucky persons, 'cause →
Relax time
(15.06.2004) Now we start one and a half months of almost relax time. Less for music, more for home, holidays and for... soccer European Championship of course. :-) Then few August' gigs and we will start to prepare for next album record session.
2nd place for ‘Idą czasy’! Damian attacks
(1.05.2004) Hello Friends in Europe! Nice to be with You. We hope so. :-) We got two gigs with Damian! The first, in Jadłodajnia Filozoficzna club, was some kind of official rehearsal before important New Tradition festival. Damian didn't know all the repertoire, so he played first set, and Sylwia - the second. Damian put a magic spell on the spectators. Sylwia added →
Sylwia. Damian. Nomination!
(15.04.2004) Time for hard decision for STILO. What has happened? Perhaps You know that our fiddler Sylwia Świątkowska has been playing in Warsaw Village Band for few years, too. Warsaw Village is more and more recognizable in Europe - You can call it international career. At the end of 2003 group was nominated to the prestigious BBC3 Award for the best →
Franz Josef Tour – we did it!
(25.11.2003) Didn't we tell You: "we are working on the Franz Josef Tour"? And we DID this tour. We played on Zakopane, Budapest (2 times), Ostrava and Lodz. Every gig was different but one thing was the same: day by day we were playing better and better. We know, we know - it is not good to complement ourselves... :-) The tour, even small tour, is →
New season
(1.10.2003) Summer almost gone... what a pity! But there are some good news: it is time to start new music season. This means for us: new compositions, new places to play, new ideas to think about. First step was not really new for us, beacuse it was performance at the Dramatyczny Jazzgot club in Warsaw - famous place for alternative music, where we →
‘Idą czasy’ anti-tour
(1.06.2003) We have just finished the first part of our "IDĄ CZASY ANTI-TOUR". "IDĄ CZASY" is the title of our new lovely CD and can be translated as "HERE COMES A TIMES". ""ANTI-TOUR" means that we promote this album through the set of single gigs, that are going to go till the end of this year. And maybe next year too... Our last concerts were →
Alpago… and Marek
(1.03.2003) We have been waiting really long to announce that Alpago Polat is not a member of STILO anymore. We had a feeling that maybe something would change during last weeks but nothing happened. Alpago had left the band in time of recording our album. It was big surprise for us and till now we don't know exactly what was the reason. Or →

In S4 with Leszek Kamiński
(9.12.2002) We are coming through process of recording our new album. Last two months was terrible and happy time for us. Terrible because it is not easy to record music! All the time you have to keep the good feelings, proper timing and concentrate on what you can do and what you must not do! But in the same time we are happy →
Great time in Budapest
(29.09.2002) Due to polish independent journalist Ziutek and few people like Wojtek Kriston from Polish Instytut in Budapest we have just spent few beautifull days in this city. We had played there on Wyszehrad Festival, representing Poland. Music, live interview in RTL television (our first visit in TV!), trips through Budapest, Hungarian food etc... Great time!
