TZN-Xenna

TZN-Xenna is a Polish hardcore punk band formed in July 1981 by Zygzak - vocals, Markus – guitar, Czomba - bass and Gogo – drums, in the town of Raszyn, Poland. Czomba was replaced by Sydney and the band played its first show on September 11th 1981. Soon after they played at the 2nd New Wave Festival in Torun, thus gaining recognition beyond the Warsaw area. TZN Xenna became known as the orthodox punk band as they earned the reputation of being followed by a big crew of punks. The band's name comes from the Polish abbreviation, 'tzn', which is the English equilivent to 'i.e.' and Xenna, the greek translation of 'welcoming'. The group initially split in 1986 with Zygzak forming De Klaszcz and later Lumpersi. Sydney later died on August 28, 1996 at the age of 32, although the cause is not known. The band have reformed since 2012 with slightly different members and still continues touring throughout the country.
