What\u2019s the genesis of the \u2018Rock\u2019n roll call\u2019 project?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve been playing music for a very long time and I\u2019ve had quite a few of these projects included in my artistic output, but after the last one \u2013 namely Californian \u2013 broke up (after two years of intensive rehearsals and playing together, these young people left me high and dry, practically overnight), I was so desperate that I decided to drop music. I figured that since I was over 40, it was time to settle down, stop rocking the boat, quit my passion and start going to work, because life in Poland is definitely not a piece of cake and how much longer one can invest in themselves. But I met a wonderful woman who convinced me to keep the rock\u2019n roll going, and when the band was formed she became its manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/whystory.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AD_DRUIDS-PUB-1024x808.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWho makes the band?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I persuaded my brother Hubert \u2013 who used to brilliantly play drums but then sold them and started fishing \u2013 to get back to music. Initially, Adrian \u017bele\u017any, whom I worked with in Andy MC, played bass, but he chose stronger music and so \u2013 as he\u2019s an ambitious and very talented musician \u2013 I gave him free rein. Now, I have a new bass player \u2013 Lukasz Czarnik, a very cool guy and a skilled musician. We used to play in a band called Silver Samurai, and he proves himself as a bass player who plays simple, doesn\u2019t make things weird, and gives us such a free hand to improvise at gigs. The youngest member of our band is before his 30s, but he is already a financial planner, which impresses me a lot and gives us such sense of security as no one would trick us financially. A gem in the band is Rus\u0142an Michnowicz, a graduate of the Music University (formerly, Academy), a great musician and multi-instrumentalist, who plays saxophone, keyboard, drums, bass, and sings backing vocals. He has played with various well-known artists, including Zbigniew Wodecki and Martyna Jakubowicz. More than 20 years ago, he came from Belarus and settled in my home town \u2013 Kobi\u00f3r. That\u2019s how we became friends. Then he left and for a few years a contact was lost, but when we met by chance on a weekend trip, it turned out that he lived 100 metres from our rehearsal room in Tychy. He came to the rehearsal, we played and it turned out that there was still chemistry between us. That\u2019s how a very cool line-up was sewn together. I decided to play from my heart and under my real name. We collected all my compositions and played them during the rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/whystory.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG20240316224950-scaled.jpg\")

\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhat songs have you chosen for the album?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nTaking all my composing years into account, there are about 40 tracks. The title one was written 15 years ago and it is something that has always fed my soul. I thought it had to open my album one day. It has come true and I\u2019m very proud of it. We wrote some of the tracks together with my life partner. We play pure rock\u2019n roll, very melodic. I\u2019m a fan of good melodies because that\u2019s what people base their music choices on. I love overpowering melodies in the choruses, and I try to compose songs wrapping fingers around people\u2019s hearts. Choosing material for the album, I decided on those melodies that I enjoy. Of course, I also took my friends\u2019 suggestions into consideration, because sometimes I happened to throw something good in the bin. At last, the album consists of12 songs in a variety of moods. The most romantic, yet clear and upbeat, is \u2018I\u2019m in Heaven\u2019. A music video has already been created for it. I really enjoy playing it live, especially on the beach, by the water, because it just floats, the sun goes down and it all comes beautifully together. The most rocking \u2018Where did I park the car\u2019 is about how we often forget where we leave our cars and misspend around 15 minutes looking for it. We played it recently on TV Katowice in the \u2018Dej poz\u00f3r\u2019 programme. \u201cCzas zmian\u201d is quite a long, reflective piece. It features improvisations, drum solos, bass, saxophone, keyboards and my guitar solos. We gave a display of our skills. In the \u2018Biegniesz ci\u0105gle\u2019 track, we criticise the rush and the rat race, and musically, we try to break the sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are your songs despiteful, because you are a rebel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI will always be one, that\u2019s my nature. If a party requires suits, I\u2019ll certainly be the one who puts on the short, shaggy pants, because I feel comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Andrzej Dom\u017co\u0142 and the band you have played more than a dozen concerts. Which of these do you consider the most important?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nTwo years ago we played a concert in Mys\u0142owice and that\u2019s when the Andrzej Dom\u017co\u0142 project started. It was frenzy there, a great reception. I have good memories of the concert at the Roma cinema in Zabrze \u2013 the oldest studio cinema in Silesia. I like its atmosphere, I generally like places still breathing the air of the People\u2019s Republic of Poland. It was such a carefree time. I was a child then, but I remember long queues, and nobody was in a hurry to get anywhere. I also had the opportunity to meet Grzegorz G\u0142asek, president and co-owner of SPS Construction, during an integration meeting of the \u201cCharisma and Vocation\u201d Group. He invited me into his car and played unreleased songs by Seweryn Krajewski from the 1960s. Great music, we couldn\u2019t stop listening. He\u2019s a fan of music and has an open heart for anyone in the arts. We became friends and then I played a concert at his palace, which I have many warm memories with. Then there was a very good New Year\u2019s Eve concert at the hotel with a view on the mountains \u2013 Mazowsze Medi SPA in Ustro\u0144, during which many generations had a great time, teenagers and 80-year-olds went wild there. We played material from a yet-to-be-released album and people reacted brilliantly. We never expected everyone to leave the DJ playing in the room next door and come to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/whystory.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG20240525184034-1024x771.jpg\")
Concert during Kobi\u00f3r Days \u2013 May 2024<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe pre-release of the album took place in Cechownia in Gliwice, while the release in Kobi\u00f3r. Why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIt all started in Kobi\u00f3r. At the age of 5 I heard \u2018Jump\u2019 by Van Halen on the radio, I stopped playing with the electric train and stuck my ear to the radio. I thought it was probably impossible to create anything better in music anymore. I experienced a similar fascination a short while later when I watched the video of \u201cThe Final Countdown\u201d by Europe on a videotape my father\u2019s friend had brought from West Germany. When I was in the first grade of primary school, I heard Dire Straits and was so impressed that I made two drumsticks out of wood, a drum from a plastic container and a snare drum from an empty wood preservative can. I set up the drums in the barn and practised basic rock rhythms from songs I heard, for about six months. My dad showed me the first chords on the guitar, so I started practising The Rolling Stones band riffs by ear. I taught my younger brother to play the drums. We decided to earn money for better instruments, we collected scrap metal and worked on construction sites. I took guitar lessons for four years at a music centre. When I was sixteen, my friend and I formed a band called \u2018The Departure Zone\u2019. We even recorded an amateur album at the Rondo Studio in Rybnik, but never released it. We wrote the lyrics ourselves and composed the music during rehearsals. It was kinda pop-rock playing, a substitute for what I play now. For a few years, we performed on the stages of local festivals in Lower Silesia, winning some local festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you always played this music genre?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNo. I once performed classically at Pszczyna Castle with an orchestra under the baton of a conductor\/musician from the Silesian Philharmonic. I prepared for this concert for a year. Later, with the Silver Samurai band, we played hard rock, and I improvised dynamic solos on the guitar. We played for an audience of many thousands and supported bands such as TSA, D\u017cem and Nocny Kochanek. Our biggest achievement was opening for Military Camp Fest in Warsaw in 2010, following the release of our album titled \u2018Back to the 80\u2019s\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently this album has now reached an incredible price on the market.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIn Kielce, at a record exchange, it was sold for 500 PLN. It\u2019s hard to get it, because it\u2019s unique. We only released half a thousand for the whole country, and people fight tooth and nail for it (laughs). I don\u2019t even own any, because I gave them all away. I gave the last copy to Jan Borysewicz of Lady Pank, during a workshop I took part in, run under his guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your music inspirations?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI like Bruce Springsteen, Brian Adams, Stage Dolls. After years of playing hard rock, I\u2019ve matured into making rock music with a warm sound and have returned to playing Fender Stratocaster guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/whystory.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG20240625171934-kopia.jpg\")

Where can we buy the \u2018Rock\u2019n roll call\u2019 album?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m a main seller. We have our own stall and we sell it, but you can also get your copy at concerts. Soon, it will appear in the assortment of the Ysuccess online shop and hopefully Empik and allegro. In addition, the album tracks can already be heard on Spotify and on social media.

What are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m proud of the sound of my guitar. I developed it by myself. I\u2019ve played drums since childhood, but the guitar is closer to my heart, because you can make beautiful sounds with it. Of course, I like drums too. I record sketches first on drums, then bass, guitars and finally send it to the guys to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your dreams?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nMy biggest dream is to play at the Silesian Stadium as a support for Brian Adams. There are lots of cool artists in Poland as well, and supporting them is my plan for the next year. In the following years, I wish things to happen even better\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What songs have you chosen for the album?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nTaking all my composing years into account, there are about 40 tracks. The title one was written 15 years ago and it is something that has always fed my soul. I thought it had to open my album one day. It has come true and I\u2019m very proud of it. We wrote some of the tracks together with my life partner. We play pure rock\u2019n roll, very melodic. I\u2019m a fan of good melodies because that\u2019s what people base their music choices on. I love overpowering melodies in the choruses, and I try to compose songs wrapping fingers around people\u2019s hearts. Choosing material for the album, I decided on those melodies that I enjoy. Of course, I also took my friends\u2019 suggestions into consideration, because sometimes I happened to throw something good in the bin. At last, the album consists of12 songs in a variety of moods. The most romantic, yet clear and upbeat, is \u2018I\u2019m in Heaven\u2019. A music video has already been created for it. I really enjoy playing it live, especially on the beach, by the water, because it just floats, the sun goes down and it all comes beautifully together. The most rocking \u2018Where did I park the car\u2019 is about how we often forget where we leave our cars and misspend around 15 minutes looking for it. We played it recently on TV Katowice in the \u2018Dej poz\u00f3r\u2019 programme. \u201cCzas zmian\u201d is quite a long, reflective piece. It features improvisations, drum solos, bass, saxophone, keyboards and my guitar solos. We gave a display of our skills. In the \u2018Biegniesz ci\u0105gle\u2019 track, we criticise the rush and the rat race, and musically, we try to break the sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are your songs despiteful, because you are a rebel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI will always be one, that\u2019s my nature. If a party requires suits, I\u2019ll certainly be the one who puts on the short, shaggy pants, because I feel comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Andrzej Dom\u017co\u0142 and the band you have played more than a dozen concerts. Which of these do you consider the most important?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nTwo years ago we played a concert in Mys\u0142owice and that\u2019s when the Andrzej Dom\u017co\u0142 project started. It was frenzy there, a great reception. I have good memories of the concert at the Roma cinema in Zabrze \u2013 the oldest studio cinema in Silesia. I like its atmosphere, I generally like places still breathing the air of the People\u2019s Republic of Poland. It was such a carefree time. I was a child then, but I remember long queues, and nobody was in a hurry to get anywhere. I also had the opportunity to meet Grzegorz G\u0142asek, president and co-owner of SPS Construction, during an integration meeting of the \u201cCharisma and Vocation\u201d Group. He invited me into his car and played unreleased songs by Seweryn Krajewski from the 1960s. Great music, we couldn\u2019t stop listening. He\u2019s a fan of music and has an open heart for anyone in the arts. We became friends and then I played a concert at his palace, which I have many warm memories with. Then there was a very good New Year\u2019s Eve concert at the hotel with a view on the mountains \u2013 Mazowsze Medi SPA in Ustro\u0144, during which many generations had a great time, teenagers and 80-year-olds went wild there. We played material from a yet-to-be-released album and people reacted brilliantly. We never expected everyone to leave the DJ playing in the room next door and come to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConcert during Kobi\u00f3r Days \u2013 May 2024<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe pre-release of the album took place in Cechownia in Gliwice, while the release in Kobi\u00f3r. Why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIt all started in Kobi\u00f3r. At the age of 5 I heard \u2018Jump\u2019 by Van Halen on the radio, I stopped playing with the electric train and stuck my ear to the radio. I thought it was probably impossible to create anything better in music anymore. I experienced a similar fascination a short while later when I watched the video of \u201cThe Final Countdown\u201d by Europe on a videotape my father\u2019s friend had brought from West Germany. When I was in the first grade of primary school, I heard Dire Straits and was so impressed that I made two drumsticks out of wood, a drum from a plastic container and a snare drum from an empty wood preservative can. I set up the drums in the barn and practised basic rock rhythms from songs I heard, for about six months. My dad showed me the first chords on the guitar, so I started practising The Rolling Stones band riffs by ear. I taught my younger brother to play the drums. We decided to earn money for better instruments, we collected scrap metal and worked on construction sites. I took guitar lessons for four years at a music centre. When I was sixteen, my friend and I formed a band called \u2018The Departure Zone\u2019. We even recorded an amateur album at the Rondo Studio in Rybnik, but never released it. We wrote the lyrics ourselves and composed the music during rehearsals. It was kinda pop-rock playing, a substitute for what I play now. For a few years, we performed on the stages of local festivals in Lower Silesia, winning some local festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you always played this music genre?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNo. I once performed classically at Pszczyna Castle with an orchestra under the baton of a conductor\/musician from the Silesian Philharmonic. I prepared for this concert for a year. Later, with the Silver Samurai band, we played hard rock, and I improvised dynamic solos on the guitar. We played for an audience of many thousands and supported bands such as TSA, D\u017cem and Nocny Kochanek. Our biggest achievement was opening for Military Camp Fest in Warsaw in 2010, following the release of our album titled \u2018Back to the 80\u2019s\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently this album has now reached an incredible price on the market.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIn Kielce, at a record exchange, it was sold for 500 PLN. It\u2019s hard to get it, because it\u2019s unique. We only released half a thousand for the whole country, and people fight tooth and nail for it (laughs). I don\u2019t even own any, because I gave them all away. I gave the last copy to Jan Borysewicz of Lady Pank, during a workshop I took part in, run under his guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your music inspirations?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI like Bruce Springsteen, Brian Adams, Stage Dolls. After years of playing hard rock, I\u2019ve matured into making rock music with a warm sound and have returned to playing Fender Stratocaster guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nRecording for the program “Dej poz\u00f3r” – TVP Katowice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Andrzej with Jan Borysewicz on the Wroc\u0142aw market square<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Recording for the program “Dej poz\u00f3r” \u2013 TVP Katowice; Andrzej with Jan Borysewicz on the Wroc\u0142aw market square<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nAre you already working on your next album?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nYes, we\u2019ve already recorded 5 tracks. I think we\u2019ll release a new album next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where can we buy the \u2018Rock\u2019n roll call\u2019 album?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m a main seller. We have our own stall and we sell it, but you can also get your copy at concerts. Soon, it will appear in the assortment of the Ysuccess online shop and hopefully Empik and allegro. In addition, the album tracks can already be heard on Spotify and on social media. I recommend listening while jogging, cause it\u2019s really empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nAfter recording an interview for Radio Katowice<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m proud of the sound of my guitar. I developed it by myself. I\u2019ve played drums since childhood, but the guitar is closer to my heart, because you can make beautiful sounds with it. Of course, I like drums too. I record sketches first on drums, then bass, guitars and finally send it to the guys to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your dreams?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nMy biggest dream is to play at the Silesian Stadium as a support for Brian Adams. There are lots of cool artists in Poland as well, and supporting them is my plan for the next year. In the following years, I wish things to happen even better\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your dreams?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nMy biggest dream is to play at the Silesian Stadium as a support for Brian Adams.

No. I once performed classically at Pszczyna Castle with an orchestra under the baton of a conductor\/musician from the Silesian Philharmonic. I prepared for this concert for a year. Later, with the Silver Samurai band, we played hard rock, and I improvised dynamic solos on the guitar. We played for an audience of many thousands and supported bands such as TSA, D\u017cem and Nocny Kochanek. Our biggest achievement was opening for Military Camp Fest in Warsaw in 2010, following the release of our album titled \u2018Back to the 80\u2019s\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently this album has now reached an incredible price on the market.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIn Kielce, at a record exchange, it was sold for 500 PLN. It\u2019s hard to get it, because it\u2019s unique. We only released half a thousand for the whole country, and people fight tooth and nail for it (laughs). I don\u2019t even own any, because I gave them all away. I gave the last copy to Jan Borysewicz of Lady Pank, during a workshop I took part in, run under his guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your music inspirations?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI like Bruce Springsteen, Brian Adams, Stage Dolls. After years of playing hard rock, I\u2019ve matured into making rock music with a warm sound and have returned to playing Fender Stratocaster guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nRecording for the program “Dej poz\u00f3r” – TVP Katowice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Andrzej with Jan Borysewicz on the Wroc\u0142aw market square<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Recording for the program “Dej poz\u00f3r” \u2013 TVP Katowice; Andrzej with Jan Borysewicz on the Wroc\u0142aw market square<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nAre you already working on your next album?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nYes, we\u2019ve already recorded 5 tracks. I think we\u2019ll release a new album next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where can we buy the \u2018Rock\u2019n roll call\u2019 album?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m a main seller. We have our own stall and we sell it, but you can also get your copy at concerts.

I recommend listening while jogging, cause it\u2019s really empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\nAfter recording an interview for Radio Katowice<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
