Artist History The band CHEAP CZAD was formed by polish artist RAFAL CZUPRYNIAK at the end of 1999 in Brooklyn, NY. Here, he had a chance to come back to his passion for music which goes back to ?81 where he began playing drumms in many different punk-rock and new wave bands. He also performed as a one person music group experimenting with various ?anti-musical? surfaces as: bikes? wheels, sheets of metal, sounds of engines, voices from street to create his compositions. Interestingly, during the same time around 1984 there were artists in Europe, like Blixa Bargeld in Germany (Einsturzende Neubauten) who had been creating a soundscape similar to Rafal Czupryniak?s attempts with music. At that time Poland was still deeply involved in socialistic practices. He had been playing on borrowed six-track synthetizer (like almost everyone involved in building up a band) and started to be amazed by power of paints which finally won...till November 1999.In May 2000, the CHEAP CZAD released its first record called Germans Are Coming. There are nine compositions on this CD. The titled song includes sampled Adolf Hitler as a singer (his presence is rather a joke than any actual notion of sympathy). Rafal Czupryniak was always under a big influence of German culture as an entity, by what he describes as its schizophrenic essence. Of course, one song is about capitol of Germany, West Berlin 1980. Rafal remembers when they entered the city in the late night and the main street of the city, Kurfürstendammstrasse - very long street - was occupied by prostitutes standing next to almost every display window. Talking about musical influences, through out the CHEAP CZAD the listener might recognize traces of TEST DEPT., PRODIGY, CHEMICAL BROTHERS, CABARET VOLTAIRE or DIE KRUPPS. Rafal always liked sound of distorted, kind of metallic like industrial saw, guitar. In order to achieve the effect, it must be created on a synthetizer or a sampler. (He always had a problem to find a guitar player who would have such an ?open? head or unconventional style as ROWLAND HOWARD from the BIRTHDAY PARTY). The CHEAP CZAD has ambitious plans to start to send Germans Are Coming to different Record Labels, mostly located in Europe, and New York?s clubs, also web site http://www.cheapczad.com will be up and running soon.PS. in June 2001 the CHEAPCZAD released second CD Tribute to ducktape. In July 2002 the band had two shows in Warsaw's (Poland) nightclub CDQ.
