Variété made their debut at Jarocin Festival[1][2] in 1984 where they received an award, presenting coldwave music enriched with Kaźmierczak's poetry.

The group appeared again on the Jarocin stage in 1985 (Main Prize – The Golden Ten), 1986 (headliner), 1990, 1991, 1992 (Award of the Town Mayor) and 1994.

A day before the band was about to sign a contract with a record label (Klub Płytowy “Razem”), the master tape had been stolen from the car.

In 1988 Kaźmierczak and Woźniak formed a duo WINA to receive an award at the Stage Songs Review held at the Hybrydy Club in Warsaw.

During their 6 months stay in USA, together with Luigi Franceschini on drums and Donald Dixon on bass guitar they recorded Zapach Wyjścia.

In 2011, Marcin Karnowski, a drummer known from 3moonboys and George Dorn Screams, joined Kaźmierczak and Maciejewski, and Variété started rehearsing as a trio.

Although Variété is considered by many as a leading representative of cold wave, in his current remarks Grzegorz Kaźmierczak emphasizes the necessity of departing from that genre as a prerequisite of progress.

At the same time Variété is seen by a lot of musicians as a band that shaped their musical and literary awareness, a group that continues to inspire.
