Romet Comet | Live Music
American songs with verve and Slavic soul.
Bio.
Romet Comet is a music band that invites its audience on a journey into the deep and lyric world of Anglo-Saxon stories. The musical compositions are surprisingly varied and inviting. Sometimes the songs weave through funky-punk-rock-jazz-blues, and at other times they are bossa nova with a good beat. Romet Comet experiments with form and sound, creating an orginal fusion of vibrations and emotions.

The band.
Charismatic vocalist Kimba Kerner immediately attracts the audience’s attention and along with the subtle accompaniment of the band, she will take you on an short escape from reality. The band entertains the listener in a skillful manner because the artistic expression and instrumental finesse shapes a complexly expressive original sound.
Romet Comet is a quintet, emerged from the love to the music and is the fruit of musical friendship, which sparked during many mutual rehearsals and concerts in Poland and Great Britan. Charged by positive energy of the public, good artistic colaboration and pleasant memories Romet Comet is the continuation of musical journey and mutual artistic experiences of the band members.
Romet* Comet** is a phenomenon, which accumulates suddenly in a burst of unimaginable energy and appears periodically in the universe, leaving only stardust behind.
Romet Comet debuted in 18th of May 2019 during concert in "Night of Museums" in Defabryka. The band presented arrangements of songs by the punk band Red Crap. These new original songs seemed so different that practically the only commonality could be the text of the songs. However, this was not true. Kimba Kerner, who sings and composes for both of them. The lyrics of the songs are inspired by the spirit of Bukowski, sensational reports from the American media, and also macabre Victorian novels.
Good sounds and passionately performed songs convince the listeners of Romet Comet’s authenticity. The band is currently in the process of creating new material and would like to present it in near future.
