Elektryczne Gitary is a Polish rock band formed in 1989^[1] by Rafał Kwaśniewski [pl], Piotr Łojek [pl], and Kuba Sienkiewicz [pl]. Their primary goal is to perform original songs with a rock sound, with most of the band's repertoire written by Sienkiewicz. The band's logo, featuring an "electric cat", was designed by artist Jarosław Koziara [pl].

The band gained popularity quickly and by 2009 had sold over 1.5 million original albums. Known for their distinctive sense of humor and self-deprecating irony, the band developed a reputation for not taking the rock genre too seriously. Sienkiewicz has stated that during their performances, he aims to exaggerate and caricature their music. Guitar phrases are intentionally played to sound self-mocking, and many of their concerts resemble happenings rather than traditional rock shows.^[2]
