ROMANTICS AND LOSERS
One of the most original projects in the country - SMKKPM - features phenomenal lyrics, fantastic sense of humor, one-of-a-kind concerts, and an atmosphere that no one else creates
For years, they have disarmed thousands of audiences at concerts with their style. 'The Forge' - as their fans call them - is not an ordinary band. Here, the whole show matters, the narrative, the conversation with the audience, a bittersweet stand-up story between songs. Their lyrics amaze, showcasing a distance to themselves and the world, nostalgic references to pop culture. The 'Romantics and Losers' tour is a tour where they will surprise with even funnier stories, showcase a couple of novelties from the upcoming album 'FANTASY,' play their best tracks, but most importantly, they will tell you the whole truth about being a music star in Poland! And they know this… well, at least as well as you do. It will be uplifting about our everyday life, and there will be no shortage of shared laughter about our imperfections, and above all, there will be songs that then refuse to detach from daily observations
SMKKPM are contemporary romantics - that is, losers. But at least they honestly admit it! Besides, each of us deep down feels the same. Do you still hope for something more from fate? Do you feel that you missed something important? Have you sacrificed a lot for others and now you are left with nothing? LOSERS are those who get overly involved and those who sometimes naively believe in something. There are also losers who didn't fully believe in something and just because of that lost - because being a loser also means not enjoying what you have just stumbled upon. Well, you can see that we know a thing or two about being losers!
But we also know about romanticism and we know what it’s like when you idealize the world too much. But is it worth looking at it differently?
SMKKPM - an unconventional project of the 'oldest kids in the world,' who stubbornly say that you can still manage everything. They uplift with irony, surprise with the lightness of pop culture references, and prove that lofty things can be talked about in simple language. The strength of the project is definitely the live concerts, where fantastic, substantial songs are complemented by reflective, light, funny, stand-up narration.
Its diversity has recently found its place in cinema, e.g., 'Love is Close' and 'Black Sheep,' twice on RMF FM in the program 'Project xD,' at alternative festivals - e.g., the main stage of SLOT ART FESTIVAL 2023, as well as at the largest fantasy convention in Poland, PYRKON (main stage), and dozens of other events, including student festivals, comedy events, and more. The band has released two albums so far: 'Superhero' [2018] and 'Ugly' [2023]. With the latest album, they presented themselves on their 3 concert tours 'Small Win'; 'Codes for Nostalgia' and the traditional event 'Valentines for the Fat, Sad, and Lonely,' where invited artists such as Ranko Ukulele, Wojtek Szumański, Pan Savyan, and Łukasz Kowalski (stand-up) appeared. Earlier, Mieszko Minkiewicz, Michał Kempa, and Bartosz Gajda were also featured
Polish Stranger Things in one song. 'Magic Cards' is a track not just for RPG lovers!

The NFZ should refund you a bit [...] or at least so that the patient could get tickets on prescription.

Their performances are a celebration of the power of mediocrity and simple goals: washing, sleeping - winning. We are in a bittersweet place, neither entirely bad nor good, yet full of everyday victories. Our small steps without cinematic music, the deep voice of the narrator from the trailer, grand narratives, and inflatable medals.
