Paweł Czekała (born 16 November 1970), known commonly under his nickname Piguła, is the founder, leader, former bassist, and current guitarist of the influential Polish street punk band The Analogs.
He attended the Constantin Brâncuși High School of Art in Szczecin. Piguła formed The Analogs in 1995 and, excluding the couple years he spent imprisoned, has been with the band non-stop since then as its primary songwriter. Initially he played bass guitar and provided backing vocals for The Analogs, but in 2008 he switched to lead guitar and Tomasz Majorek replaced him as the band's bassist. In recent years Czekała has also began occasionally performing as the lead singer on a very small fraction of the songs the band plays live.
He also played in the hardcore band The Hunkies and the 1977-style punk group Anti Dread. Previously he had been playing in a ska band called Dr. Cycos, together with Marek Adamowicz and Ziemowit Pawluk. Other bands he played in are Ruin Cats, Strawberry, and Deimos. His nickname Piguła is Polish for pill.
