Karbido means free choice typical of vanguard artists with inclination to and experience in music, theatre and art. Wroclawians have made it plain that all inspiration is allowed, although it seems that some in a little more significant way: criminal jazz, idyllic melodies, folk-like openness and the energy of contrasts. Karbido crew - far from being precise when it comes to defining their music - passionately fit and shuffle their own puzzles. They play with the listener's habits, at the same time opening the door for careful observers of the world and energetic optimists who like driving at full speed on uneven ground. Karbido was created in 2003 by musicians associated with such bands as CEZ, Kormorany, and Formacya Bochianni. In 2004 the first CD 'Karbido' was released by alternative Hermetyczny Garaż record company.
