Artist Directory

ANKYLYM

Art-chaos alco-folk band from Russia, playing ethno-punk. Some elements of progressive hardcore and post-punk, as well as a healthy doze of idiocy are also evident.

ANKYLYM->>>

AYKTSYON

Like many other bands, Auktsyin also was infected with punk, but unlike the others, got 'healed' in a proper way - expanding its musical and poetic language to somewhere, few of us ever been before.

AYKTSYON->>>

BABSLEY

Visually Babsley are six good looking, singing and dancing girls. The style of the show is defined by the girls as babsfolk ethno-punk. Traditional rock rhythm section is babsleyed with accordion and sax.

CHIMERA

CONTRA LA CONTRA

Uncompromising anarcho-punk band from Grodno with female vocals. 'Bad Girls Choose Freedom', 'Passport Control', 'A Prick not Punk' - that's what they are singing about. Recorded two albums: Demo, 2001 and Not a Word about Politics, 2002.

DEVIL SHOOTS DEVIL

"It's fucked up living in here not only because it's almost impossible to go abroad but also because we lack social contacts, we are being watched we can't say what we want to. And those who aren’t satisfied with the way things are often disappear."

EARWORM

F.M.

Ridiculous to deny that the style of the band was influenced by such monsters of Russian grotesque as N.O.M. and Zvuki Mu. Yet, the band still has it distinct sound of brutal sonic and anarchy, melodic minimalism and lyrical shock.

F.M.->>>

GOLUBI I BEZUMNYE KASHEVARY

The happy feeling of compassion to the chaos, co-participation in debauch take place on the stage and in the minds of the band members.

GOLUBI I BEZUMNYE KASHEVARY->>>

IGRAY, GARMON'!

"I bought a guitar and started to play, told Misha to buy bass ... Then Misha called one day and said: you know, fuck the bass, I've got accordion, let me play it! We tried - it all went much better than we expected ... "

IGRAY, GARMON'!->>>

MAY B

Lo-fi core from Belarus'. Downtuned bass, raw guitar,sax, ambience, energy and non-conformism in one bottle.

MAY B->>>

N.O.M

Formed 1987. Probably the best rock band to continue the tradition of Russian surrealism. NOM's music is a fascinating combination of traditional Russian melodies, rock, pop, progressive rock and even opera.

N.O.M->>>

NOL'

Before Nol’ there were no bands who had chosen accordion as the leading instrument in their music. The repertoire of the group consists of different genres – from rock-n-roll to hard and heavy. Of course some of them are more successful, some

NOL'->>>

PAHOM AND VIVISECTOR

What Pahom is doing with his friend looks like a new Russian black psychedelia. Somehow Pahom started speaking on behalf of a huge Russian alcoholic heart. The details of everyday life are so correct and frightening that it comes to be irrelevant to speak

PAHOM AND VIVISECTOR->>>

PROHOR AND PUZO

Prohor and Puzo obviously follow traditions of Russian avant-garde of the 80-s, Moscow 'Zvuki Mu', 'Tsentr' and 'N.O.M' from Saint Petersburg. But the main and highly inflammable source of their inspiration is obviously the early song of Petr Mamonov 'A

STARAYA DEREVNYA

I'd like to believe that slightly demented piano lines and click-clack bongo percussion and earnest, lo-fi vocals and recordings still have their roots in trad-Russian folk ballads of the peasants that still inhabit the Urals despite the strife and the r

STARAYA DEREVNYA->>>

SYBARITES

Tubbi-drums, harmonica, vocals; Stereo-drums, guitars, bass, vocals, iron things, vacuum cleaner, trumpets and horns; Mono – guitars, bass, voice, percussions, synthesizer, trumpets and horns. What can the music be?

SYBARITES->>>

THE ZVERSTVO

"I love demented rock music and it doesn't get much more demented than The Zverstvo. Loud, abrasive and deliciously funny, the vocalist of this Russian avant-rock ensemble screams its lyrics over the top of pounding drums, guitar, and a saxophonist ... "

THE ZVERSTVO->>>

TRANSLIT

The gigs of the duo in Europe and in Russia were always met by public with a confusion and applauses, especially if there was any public on the concerts.

TRANSLIT->>>

URATSAKIDOGI

'Uratsakidogi is a state of comprehension of different circumstances in life, projected onto what other people call 'music'' – Egor Gogenator - the leader of the band responds laconically to a question about the band's name.

URATSAKIDOGI->>>

V3ANUS

Freak-anarcho-punk formation from Grodno, full of radical non-conformism and sparkling irony stretching the music from NY hardcore downtunes to sunny ska and reggae beats.

V3ANUS->>>

VOPLI VIDOPLYASOVA

Visually Vopli Vidoplyasova is rather interesting picture – four bullies from some Borsch-ham who are just ready to sing an anthem to the heroic football exploits of Dynamo Kiev.
