SBB (first known as Silesian Blues Band, later as Szukaj, Burz, Buduj – Polish for "Search, Break up, Build") is a Polish progressive rock band formed in 1971 in Siemianowice, Upper Silesia by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Józef Skrzek. It was one of the most popular super-groups in Poland in the 1970s; they also toured Czechoslovakia, East and West Germany, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and the United States. The band split up in 1980 but was briefly re-activated in 1991, 1993, 1998 and finally in 2000. From 1971–1973, SBB performed as Niemen supporting Czesław Wydrzycki, opening the Olympic Games in Munich and recording for the CBS label.
