Description
Kyst is a band of Norwegian origin, currently residing in Sopot, Poland. It's music varies from folk and post-rock to experimental and improvised music, oftenly influented by the New Weird America movement. However, the musicians prefer not to limit themselves to any specific genre, considering freedom and emotional devotion being the most important musical values.
The band originally consists of 4 members (Tobiasz Biliński, Adam Byczkowski, Marcin Turzyński, Jacek Rezner), however mostly performs as a Biliński-Byczkowski duo, oftenly accompanied by the best figures of polish alternative scene (Maciej Cieślak, Tomasz Ziętek, Karolina Rec).
Kyst played several gigs in the biggest cities in Poland and abroad (mainly in Berlin and Prague) and supported such artists as: Au (USA), Silje Nes (Norway), Oldseed (Canada) and the legend of Berlin experimental music - F. S. Blumm. Tobiasz Biliński and Adam Byczkowski, along with Michał Biela (Kristen, Ścianka) create a core of experimental/improv band Small Things.
Young musicians do not limit themselves to creating music - Biliński and Byczkowski run a DIY label Gingerbread Records (where Kyst's debut LP will be released), and booking agency - Gingerbread Booking (which organised the Au show in Poland and a tour of Touchy Mob - a multi-instrumentalist from Berlin).
Kyst's debut LP - "Cotton Touch" - should be released in October 2009.
