Stevedons 1 | 2 16 Oct 2007 / #1Tranquilizers are a new London based band led by one of London's first Polish rock/pop musicians - Jed Dmochowski. Jed had a successful band in the 1980s called The VIPs.Tranquilizers aren't a Polish language band but the songs are all written by a Pole and their first single will be released on a label called Buzi Buzi.Their myspace site is myspace.com/tranquilizerstheband if anyone is interested in seeing them play live. All are welcome and introduce yourselves to Jed if you do come.

OP Stevedons 1 | 2 17 Oct 2007 / #4Wojtek is indeed his brother. I hope people don't mind me pushing this here but Jed and his brother have genuinely been the most important Polish indie artists around for many years.I'm married to a Polish woman myself and have a daughter being bought up as Polish (which is why I'm calling my record label Buzi Buzi).
osiol 55 | 3,921 17 Oct 2007 / #5WojtekI don't know if he's still with the Blue Aeroplanes. I know it can sound a bit weird - someone in a band, but only as a dancer, but there was always something that made their shows exciting - a man leaping around the stage between the countless guitarists they always had, at 100 mph. Unlike other dancers with bands, he didn't need a pair of maraccas (like The Happy Mondays' Bez did) to hide behind.
OP Stevedons 1 | 2 17 Oct 2007 / #6As far as I know he is still in touch with the BAs but not dancing so much. He does go to see his brother's band of course.
