History

The beginnings

Sedes was formed in 1980 in Wrocław. The band started to gain popularity among the Wrocław independent scene and, on a preview called Musical Start, they earned first prize. In 1982, they made their first appearance at the Jarocin festival. In 1983, they were the only punk rock band to play at the festival's main stage.

Sedes' line up changed in 1984. Kucharz left the band and was replaced by Celej, while Maju started to play bass guitar. The band continued to tour, including another performance at the Jarocin festival. In 1985, the band split up.

Reunion

After many attempts to reunite the band, Młody got the band back together in 1991 with a line up featuring Młody (vocals), Rudy (drums), Para (bass guitar) and Wojtek (guitar). They appeared at Jarocin in 1992 and set off for a tour with Defekt Muzgó, giving over 50 concerts. They released their first album, Wszyscy pokutujemy on MC in 1992. The second record K… jego mać was released in 1993, and the first album was remastered for a CD release.

Shortly thereafter, Para was dismissed from the band and Młody took over as bass player. Later in 1993, an album of live material was released and a year later Sraka praptaka. In late 1995, Sedes set off for a tour with the band, Big Cyc.

Since 1997 and the release of the album, Delirium, the band has limited itself to concert performances. In 2004, a "Best of" album was released, entitled Lekcja Historii.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">The Ex (band)</span> Dutch band

The Ex is an underground band from the Netherlands, started in 1979 at the height of the original punk explosion as a Dutch punk band. The Ex originated from the squatting movement in Amsterdam and Wormer, and was inspired by bands like The Fall and The Mekons. Although initially known as an anarcho-punk band associated with the Dutch post-punk ultra scene, over the decades The Ex's sound has gradually developed into its current form of highly intricate, experimental punk/post-punk/no wave-inspired work. This sound includes a combination of diverse genres and styles, such as noise, folk, world music, free jazz, and crossovers between these genres. Other examples of branching out stylistically include the improvised double album Instant and a release under the moniker Ex Orkest, a 20 piece big band assembled for performances at Holland Festival. "One reason we are hard to describe is that we never had an education at music school, and in that sense we are not influenced by any traditional playing," explained Katherina Bornefeld, drummer for The Ex since 1984. The Ex's lyrics consist of straightforward statements about politics and abuses in society. The band enjoys international acclaim for this socially critical message, as well as for the energetic, rhythmic, atonal guitar playing, and for the furious vocals of singer G.W. Sok, who was replaced in recent years by Arnold de Boer of the duo Zea. The Ex have released over 20 full-length albums.

Soon afterwards, they were joined by another student of the same school, Dariusz "Skandal" Hajn, who, as Grabowski later stated, "looked like a real punkrocker". The band started regular rehearsals in the summer of 1981. With fast guitar riffs and intelligent lyrics written by Grabowski, Dezerter's concerts drew thousands of fans and its LPs were very popular, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
