Komisiia (UA)

Biography

Komisiia is a four-piece band from Kyiv, Ukraine. Established in 2017, we have released 2 full-length albums, 3 EPs, and 6 singles. Exploring different genres from punk rock to bossa nova and house-inspired indie-pop, Komisiia is an ever-changing picture, labeled by several musical media as a “chameleon band.” Over our 6 years of playing together, we have performed 100+ gigs in different venues across Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia, and Estonia, as well as participating in multiple festivals such as Atlas Weekend (Kyiv), Tallinn Music Week, Bezviz Festival (Dnipro) to name a few.

In 2023, Komisiia started working with Ukrainian indie label Kontrabass Promo, opening a new page in the band’s story. Also, we organized 2 charity tours with the Musicians Defend Ukraine Foundation last year. We have been experimenting with electronic music lately, so the following plans include one more style change. Whether this will be the last change – we don’t know, but we can guarantee that we will surprise our audience with every new release and will do everything in our power so that watching and following our evolution is always entertaining.

After the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, we have found ourselves in a completely new world. The changes have impacted every aspect of our day-to-day life, including the reality of the Ukrainian musical business. The most significant new challenge we face right now is the necessity of reorientation to European markets and building a network of connections there. Thus, New Skool Rules would be an excellent possibility for our band to find such connections with booking agents and managers.

Although we have already established some connections with bookers and concert venues in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, and Germany. Performing at New Skool Rules would be a perfect opportunity for our band to present ourselves to a new regional audience.
