Biography

The band was formed in 1985 by Bangolot, going by the name Cmentarna Elita, and after some time the name was changed to Babayaga Ojo, and it remained at that to today. They won first prize on the Poza Kontrole Contest in Warsaw in 1986 and also performed on the Jarocin Festival in that same year. In 1987, their demo was recorded in the Student Radio Winogrady, where songs such as "Załogowcy", "Co Wy Robicie", and "Londyn" were recorded.

Practices took place at Bangolot's home in different places, from the attic, to the garage, to the laundry room and bathroom, where the drummer because of a lack of space sat on the toilet, the bassist stood in the bathtub, and the rest somehow found their place. At each practice came many friends and guests, the happiest person of all was the local food salesclerk, because cheap wine was sold by the case load. At times practices lasted several days.

After recording their next demo in 1992, with a new set-up and arrangement, the band gave out the cassette "Zdusi Was Trupi Smród/Good Bye Nancy Spungen". Soon after Bangolot ended the band activity. Unfortunately in 2002, Bangolot died in a car accident, and with him his dream for Babayaga Ojo.

Second iteration

In 2003, Koń, Kostek, and Kóbeł were deciding whether to reanimate Babayaga Ojo, or continue the silence. Finally in 2004 Kóbeł put together the band. The main assembly was and idea of the old punks joined with the ambitious youth. After a long search the band was finally put together. The guitarist "Domin" (son of Małgorzata Ostrowska from the polish band Lombard) left and was replaced by Adrian Mróz, who currently is also the group's manager. Adrian and Domin are both playing on the group's first CD project.

October 15, 2005 - Poznań at uBazyla was the first Performance after 13 years of silence.

The group actively performs throughout Poland and neighboring countries.

By the end of 2007, Radas has left the group to be replaced briefly by Robert "Baszczak" Rozanski, ex- SK.AT. After Baszczak's departure, however, the band decided to remain in a 4 person line-up, dropping the rhythm guitar.
