Accordion Punk

Accordion, or a squeeze box, is a very popular instrument in Russia. It is relatively simple to operate, easy to transport, it is loud enough to overshout local quarrels and fights, and last but not the least - it has a belt which makes it difficult to loose if you want to have a break for another shot of vodka.

The Creams of Vidopliasov [ukr.]

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. In the corner of the stage there is a former plumper Yura Zdorenko, in a beret, with a guitar and popping eyes. Behind Zdorenko we can see a graduate of Chernobyl discotheques Sergey Sakhno, twisting like a rabbit. Next to him in a pose of a French grenadier there is a tall Shura Pipa, with a chopped rogue of a bass-guitar and popping lip. His mimics and mocking facial expressions are impossible to describe. In the middle, risking to fall in an orchestra hole there is a balancing vocalist, accordionist and showman Oleg Skrypka. From times to times he is playing on a trumpet or saxophone, not forgetting to introduce it in Ukrainian with: ‘And now there will be a solo’. Dressed as an unlucky burglar of second-hand shops, with the circles of make up around his eyes he is mixing this brutal image with some ballet pas, elements of break dance, some filthy hip motions taken from the arsenal of Mick Jagger and Elvis Presley and awkward dancing of a village lumpen-proletarian. Fire is burning in his eyes.
