Something of a cross between a rock band and comedy act, Poland's Elektryczne Gitary (Electric Guitars) are legendary for serving up highly infectious melodies and side-splitting humor. Jakub Sienkiewicz is the driving force behind the outfit, providing dry vocals and witty lyrics; others include Tomasz Grochowalski, Aleksander Korecki, Piotr Lojek, and Leon Paduch. Formed in 1990 amidst massive political and social turmoil in Eastern Europe, it didn't take long for the Guitars to make an impact on the newly liberated Polish music scene. In 1991, local radio stations couldn't get enough of their first two releases: the wacky pop/rock tunes "Wlosy" (Hair) and "Jestem z Miasta" (I'm From the City). And a year later, they had a massive hit on their hands with the album Wielka Radosc (Great Joy).
