Bulletproof Poets started in November 2022 and rehears to be prepared to play concerts in autumn 2023.

The name of the band comes from a song about Charles Bukowski, penned by Tyla and the band The Dogs D’amour – originally called The Bulletproof Poet. Extraordinary song with poetical lyrics: “He gave Jesus tattoos and took the devil's soul. He got the angels drunk and gave them the gutter for a home.”

The teenager Tommy took this to his heart – and many years later Bulletproof Poets is a low-key but energetic, moody, band that starts out from poetry. Tommy, the main songwriter in the band, at least so far, says:
“It happens something to my songwriting when I turn to poetry. I get sick of my own lyrics, always ending up in the same space. Using poets and poetry is great because it upsets song-structures, and the mood of the songwriter becomes very elastic.”

It is particularly one poet that inspires the band: Monika Kostera, a polish professor in organization theory and management but also, then, a poet. Monika has published three books of poetry.
