Down With The Gypsies - Icarus


Are you down with the gypsies?

DOWN WITH THE GYPSIES is a young five-piece psych/folk/prog band with members from Poland, Germany, Austria & Spain. The band was formed late 2015 and is based in Karlsruhe, Germany.


The band was formed by singer & guitarist Gaba Wierzbicka and drummer Tom Schneckenhaus. The first demo tape was recorded in April, just before Melina Tzimou joined the band on guitar. After the show at PSYKA FESTIVAL, Karlsruhe in October 2016, Maik left the band and Mitja Besen took over on bass. As there were a lot of changes in their line-up, the band took a break from playing live and turned it into a creative process of songwriting and a period of finding their own sound.

In March 2017 they recorded their debut LP “Kassiopeia” at KAPU Studio in Linz, Austria. Recorded & mixed by Sabina Sloth, Mastered by Niels Reckziegel. It was self-released in July 2017. In August and September this year the band toured Europe for the first time. They signed with STONEFREE RECORDS, who released their debut “Kassiopeia” in a new outfit in early 2018. Currently, the band is working on new songs and tour dates for 2019.
