Strachy na Lachy was formed in 2001 by Grabaż and Kozak, founders of Pidżama Porno. The first line-up was completed by bassist Longin Bartkowiak, drummer Rafał Kuzyn Piotrowiak and guitarist Mariusz Nalepa. In 2003 the group signed a record contract with independent record company SP Records. Since then the band has released several albums – each of them gaining the status of Gold or Platinum Record, and the band's leader, Krzysztof Grabaż Grabowski, was honoured with Polityka's Passport.
