DZIERZYNSKI BITZ (as Dzerzhinski Bitz or simply Dz.Bitz) is a retro/indie band founded by vocalist and main songwriter Wojciech Dzerzhinski. Hailing from Slovakia, Pavlovce-nad-Uhom, the band's unique style is equally influenced by Edward Gil and Syd Barrett, the East-European pre-war music and the British new wave sound. Under The Gun Review recently labelled their sound "multi-instrumental new wave croon pop".〔(UTG INTERVIEW: DZIERZYNSKI BITZ. ) Dzierzynski Bitz plays multi-instrumental new wave croon pop〕 == History == DZIERZYNSKI BITZ's debut album "I II III" was released in June 2012. The core group enlisted the help of fifteen additional musicians to bring their vision to light. The recording of the album began in Russia and was completed in Ukraine before being mixed in London by Joe Hirst (dEUS, Ian Brown, Yasmin). The album's edgy and eccentric modern take on retro influences earned it critically acclaimed.〔(Music Perk: I II III – DzierzynskiBitz. ) “Eclectic” and “exhilarating” are two of the many words that can be used to describe DzierzynskyBitz (Dzerzhinsky Orchestra), a Slovakia-based group led by Wojciech Dzerzhinsky. It is experimental and unique in the best way, listing pre-war Polish music and English new wave as its prime influences. With the range in instruments and genres employed, it’s a highly unpredictable blend of instrumentals with soothing croon pop vocals!〕〔(VZ Magazine: Dzierzynski Bitz -- I II III. ) If uniqueness was the only requirement for awesomeness, then Dzierzynski Bitz (Dzerzhinski Orchestra) would be more than halfway to awesome. This collective of Slovakian, Ukrainian, and Russian music-makers uses a diverse mixture of audio influences to create something both modern and retro, both unusual and somehow strangely familiar.〕〔(Manifesto Magazine: DZIERZYNSKI BITZ (Dzerzhinski Orchestra) - "I II III". ) I II III is subtly ambient, every track sitting just at the edge of your consciousness like a blooming plant on a windowsill.〕〔(Antimusic.com Dan Macintosh: Dzierzynski Bitz - I II III ) Eventually, these songs will begin to get under your skin the way all great pop eventually does. Therefore, do yourself a favor and give it a chance to do its thing. It's a decision you won't regret.〕 The band have performed at a host of festivals including Stereoleto, Oasis-fest(Georgia), FORMA, Gogolfest, Koktebel Jazz Festival, AVANT and Krok-Rock. Their live show has earned them strong followings throughout Kiev, Minsk and Moscow. The group's latest Release "Podmoskovje / Vziat Siloj" was positively received by both critics and the public.〔(Indieshuffle.com Christiana Bartolini: Dzierzynski Bitz - Vziat' Siloj ) Dzierzynski Bitz is a Slovakian band with a beautiful orchestral indie pop style and perfect execution. From woodwinds to strings to horns, this band has got it all and they’re not afraid to use it! “Vziat’ Siloj” has all the ingredients that you’d want in a classic orchestral pop song.〕〔(Monolith-sound: ‘Podmoskovje / Vziat’ Siloj’ – DZIERZYNSKI BITZ ) The band draws on sounds similar to YES, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Rick Wakeman, Syd Barrett and even a Ukrainian version of Jamie Cullum. Melody is a very important part of the DZIERZYNSKI BITZ sound and although their genre is Avant-Garde, they’re not too abusive with time signatures and chord structures. This is still accessible music.〕 In support of the single in March 2013 was a sold-out mini-tour of the capitals of the surrounding states. The second longplay Dz.Bitz album Love Me Do was released at November 2014. It was recorded in several studios in Kyiv and Moscow, and produced by Graham Sutton (These New Puritans, Jarvis Cocker). The album expands the band style with the more electronic approach and injection of disco-funk grooves.〔(Music Perk: Love Me Do – DZIERZYNSKI BITZ ) The album Love Me Do has a fresh feeling with its electronics and disco beats.〕 The band did a Love Me Do tour in support of its new release in October 2014 at Ukraine, Russia, Baltic countries and Poland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dzierzynski Bitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
