19.07.2010 . Summing up
It's been a year, one CD and three live performances since this project was created on July 19th 2009. There is a lot of brainstorming and brainwashing (and brain-eating) involved, as the project now is something a little bit different than it was planned when it started. It has gained a life of it's own and it's instincts are driving it towards the music that plays in my head most of the time. You'll hear the new CD soon.
09.07.2010 . Hell yeah Caryca!
Big thanks to Maciek, Lukasz, Pendzel & Yapa and the great audience @ Caryca, Krakow. After many, many beers and many, many hours I look back at it and I think it was a helluva night! Thanks!
27.06.2010 . !#^!$@!^&&&^$@
Both the Saturator and No Mercy shows went great, thanks to the show promoters and club people, in both cases I had loads of fun! Special thanks to the VJ @ no mercy who made some really cool things on the screen during my show. And lastly thanks to everyone who came to see me and had fun. I sure had! See you all soon because there will be more dates announced very soon. Oh yes, and I haven't forgotten the CD, it's just delayed because I have some cool new ideas. You'll be surprised.
10.06.2010 . Who are we?
An impressive outburst of creative ideas before the upcoming Saturator gig. While working on some old ideas I have finished the song that could've been my motto. It's called "Electrotrash (we're so)" and it will have its stage debut this friday! -
Bio
Krop is an ambassador of an alien invasion on both your minds and your ears. It came to life years ago, but was silent, until the urge to shout it all out took over. Bruce Willis cannot stop our invasion, even if Will Smith made him a lotta coffee.
g1sh
Before Krop took him over g1sh was a pretty busy dude. He co-founded and ran Illusion of Sense art group in Poland which managed to publish some books and make some nationwide exhibitions. Then he wrote a short story that became the concept and the lyrics for psychedelic rock project "dust|box" which was done musically mostly by "dust", with all the words done by g1sh and with a couple of people contributing to some of the tracks. Then g1sh and Adian directed, recorded and made into reality the 22:22 movie (link). After a couple of years Square Extension came into play with many national and international (Germany, UK) gigs and two EP's released. G1sh is also working on some movies again, and doing animations, visuals and performance art. Sometimes he experiences a blackout and then Krop takes over to create and/or destroy.Krop
Krop started out as an alien secret agent infiltrating planet Mars years ago. He played tic-tac-toe with the rovers, but he was always staying behind them so for years nobody in NASA noticed him. But then he got bored and started hitting asteroids with a baseball bat. One of them hit a small province in Siberia and the resulting crater started filling out with oil. They're pretty rich out there right now. Yeah! Krop was pulled from Mars after one of the Rovers nearly found one of his wine bottles which would of course cause a frenzy among the humans. Alien Propaganda Office transferred him to earth and posted a replacement on mars. Krop came to earth and decided to take over G1sh since he already had some crazy ideas in his head. Those ideas became reality as the "CIRCLES" album was released on December 22nd, 2009. And now live shows will bring you Krop loud and clear! -

g1sh is responsible for all the music, all the lyrics and all the performances, live visuals are done by VJ Nverse.
The visual side is a mix of gish's ideas (carrying an LCD screen, theatrical movement, a lively, full of motion performance, bodypainting, props) with original, live visuals made especially for this project by vj Nverse. -
