History

Łąki Łan was founded in 2002. By the time the band's debut album Łąki Łan was released on 12 August 2005, it had played over 100 concerts. The album, which was much anticipated, was described by some reviewers as a mix of funk, house, trip hop and drum'n'bass.
The band's sophomore album, ŁąkiŁanda, was released on 8 May 2009 through EMI Music Poland. Grzegorz Dusza of Audio magazine wrote that "Łąki Łan are having a lot of fun, writing ridiculous lyrics with an ecological message. But the base of the music is a solid, funky groove with strong bass, expressive drums, rock guitar and pseudo-rapped lyrics. The band also has an electronic side and their drum'n'bass tracks could easily be played in clubs." In February 2010, the album was nominated for the Fryderyk award in the category "Album of the Year - Alternative".
Łąki Łan's third album, Armanda, was released on 13 November 2012 through EMI Music Poland. Sebastian Rerak of Onet.pl rated the album 7.5/10 and wrote in his review: "Madmen dresses like degenerated fairytale characters warned that the new album may be a surprise. They didn't lie. Armanda has funk pulse, but not always connected with rock expression. A disco ball is spinning just as often as the smoke is coming out of a guitar."
Łąki Łan has performed at some of the most important Polish music festivals, including Open'er Festival, Coke Live Music Festival and Przystanek Woodstock.
