KOMETY

Komety – one of Poland 's most popular and distinctive alternative groups. Its line-up: Lesław (voice, guitar, music, words), W. Szewko (bass, voice) and Arkus (drums, voice). The group has created a characteristic musical/lyrical style all their own.
Before Komety appeared, Lesław had been the leader of the now defunct group Partia.
In 2003, Komety released their début album on Jimmy Jazz Records, and its premiere took place at the same time in Western Europe and the USA .
In 2005, the "Via Ardiente" album was released in two language versions: Polish and English. "Komety 2004-2006", featuring previously unreleased material, came out the following year.
The next album, "Akcja v1", also available in an English-language version, came out in 2007. Singles taken from that album topped many Polish charts.
In early 2008, Mexico's Esquilo Records released "The Story of Komety", an album of the group's best-known selections.
In March 2009 "Zloto Aztekow", a live album also featuring new studio recordings, came out on Jimmy Jazz Records.
Komety are one of the few Polish groups to have gained popularity abroad. Their songs have appeared on compilation albums in such countries as the USA, France, Finland, Germany, Japan and Russia.
The new album "Luminal" is due in April 2011.
