The Beatles are coming! The Beatles are coming! To be more specific the Polish Beatles are coming to Buffalo. Czerwone Gitary (The Red Guitars), one of the most popular rock bands in the history of Polish popular music, will be performing Thursday, Jan. 22 at St. Stanislaus Church social center, 389 Peckham St., Buffalo at 7 p.m.
Czerwone Gitary was founded by guitarist/vocalist Jerzy Kossela and bassist Henryk Zomerski in January 1965 in Gdańsk. It achieved its greatest success from 1965 to 1970.
Often considered the Polish equivalent of the Beatles, many of their hits are now classics in Poland. The group toured extensively outside Poland (in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, USA, Germany and Soviet Union) but had mostly disappeared from the Polish scene by the 1980s. The band reformed in the 1990s and is now making a 50th anniversary tour of the U.S. and Canada.
Tickets are $35 and are available at The Polish Deli, Clinton St., Buffalo or at the door. For details call Mira Szramel at 903-3242.
