We may never know the source of the cosmic winds that blew these two bands in the same orbit, but to have the Gdansk, Poland based TRUPA TRUPA and the Austin, TX based Suspirians sharing the same cassette is really, really magickal. Roaring out of the gate in 2015 with their album Headache on X-Ray […]
Trupa Trupa’s monochrome post-punk is committed yet functional.

You can make a real link between black midi’s fierce invention and many of the Polish acts on the bill at OFF Festival – take Trupa Trupa, whose hypnotic post-punk uses CAN basslines as starting points to deliver a psychedelia far more interesting than many of their motorikby-number British counterparts.
Now, most of us are nostalgic about the pop music of our youth. It was better then. But essentially, love, the lack of it, the pursuit of it, and the obsession with it – that’s the stuff of most pop music. And probably always has been. Occasionally though, superstar-singers and bands address major political themes, […]
The band that won’t forget: Gdańsk group mixes poetry with psychedelia – and messages about the Holocaust.
Polish band Trupa Trupa is a far more complicated picture to draw, as they take to the stage in Ljubliana Castle.
I’ve seen Trupa Trupa twice this year, once a month! And both times their incredible songs have taken on a slightly different life.
Da wächst langsam etwas Großes zusammen, diese Feststellung hatte ich zu „Headache“ geschrieben. Das war 2015, und es handelte sich dabei um das dritte Album der Band Trupa Trupa. Zwei Jahre später erschien „Jolly New Songs“, und das war schon ein toller kompakter Brocken, aber auch ein wenig undurchsichtig, dabei sehr reizvoll und auch schon großartig.
In this week of love and sickness, of course, some new music needs to emphasize the ‘sickness’-part of that equation.
It’s been a joy covering Trupa Trupa over the past couple of years, and I was absolutely delighted to see the band from Gdańsk, Poland, popping up here on Whited Sepulchre’s split series. Their brand of psychedelic post-punk with intensely political undertones (frontdude Grzegorz Kwiatkowski is a fascinating poet and researcher, digging into some World War II–related topics on CBC radio documentary “The Invisible Shoes of Stutthof Concentration Camp”) is easy to return to again and again, and their new record “Of the Sun” on Lovitt is a stunner.
Singiel End Of The Line zapowiada płytę EP I”ll find, która ukaże się 6 marca nakładem Glitterbeat Records (Europa), Lovitt Records (USA), Moorworks (Japonia) i Anteny Krzyku (Polska).
Poland’s Trupa Trupa keep up the momentum with today’s release of End Of The Line, the first single off the new EP I’ll Find.
Trupa Trupa are a very moreish rock band boasting undoubted skill and killer songs, who trade in a mix of Weimar cabaret, brutal math rock and frazzled psychedelia.
Radio CBC published the “The invisible shoes of Stutthof concentration camp” story including the songs from “Headache” and “Jolly New Songs”. More information at www.cbc.ca
Der Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs vor 80 Jahren und das KZ Stutthof: Für die polnische Band Trupa Trupa aus Danzig spielt die Geschichte eine große Rolle – auch in ihrem neuen Album „Of the Sun“. Darin geht es auch um den aktuellen Umgang mit der Vergangenheit.

„A clever and strong group Trupa Trupa!” says Iggy Pop at BBC Radio 6 music.
Words fail to describe Poland’s Trupa Trupa, just ask anyone who has witnessed them live!
„It’s been a year of pleasant and rewarding surprises, with Polish outfit Trupa Trupa’s Of The Sun (Glitterbeats Records) being perhaps the most unexpected revelation. Frontman and poet Grzegorz Kwiatkowski has described their music as “a meditative, pessimistic thing,” adding that Don Quixote is an inspiration. Brimming with sophisticated exploratory rock arrangements, delivered with superb […]
