Radio Bagdad is a Polish punk/rock band formed in Spring 2004 in Gdańsk under the temporary name of Saspe (which was the German name of Zaspa, the district of Gdańsk, where the band members come from). Sielak (voice, guitar and also author of all lyrics), the founder, wanted to create band which would play lively and melodic songs with intelligent lyrics. Dzik (bass) soon joined him but there still was no drummer. Eventually they found Ugm but due to musical differences he was replaced by Majones in Autumn 2004. The band's name was changed to Radio Bagdad, as it started...

Bagdad Cafe the Trench Town is Japanese reggae band founded in 2001. Their début album Love Sunset was released in 2003. The front-woman, Mai, sings mostly in Japanese but adds in many English words too. In 2008 the band took part in the Fuji Rock Festival for the first time. The group took their name from a combination of the 1987 West German movie "Bagdad Café", and the Trenchtown neighbourhood in Kingston, Jamaica .
