The group was formed in 1992 in Szczecin at the initiative of guitarist Piotr Banach. In the first composition is also found: Katarzyna Nosowska, Marcin Żabiełowicz, Robert Ligiewicz and Marcin Macuk. The latter was quickly replaced by Jacek Chrzanowski.
They performed few uynplegged concert all over Poland. I therefore saw them in Lodz (many thanks to Qbalka, Emilka and Filip). My favorite songs are Teksański, Moogie and [sic!].
Although Hey sometimes described themselves as the first Polish grunge band, their melodic, guitar-driven rock and eclectic appearance owed more to New Wave and heavy metal influences; their first three albums contained songs in both Polish and English. During the band's mid-1990s heyday, they sold out stadiums throughout Poland, and attempted to break into the English-language market with a series of concerts overseas and an English version of their 1995 album ?. When this failed to arouse interest, the band began to write in Polish only, and gradually adopted a harder-edged, more industrial-influenced sound.
Nosowska also has enjoyed a successful career as a solo artist. The band sold over 2.2 million albums.
