There you'll find more information about the single, the new album, gigs and t-shirts.
The Ukrainians continue to mix up our winning concoction of Western punk-pop and traditional Ukrainian sounds, a blend that's always best served live. As 'Q' magazine says "Going to a Ukrainians gig is like being at the mother of all parties".
Our recent album, 'Live in Czeremcha' has been received as a career high. It has attracted rave reviews and huge amounts of airplay across Europe and North America.
And now 2009 sees the release of our new studio album "Diaspora" featuring our own unique version of 'Children of the Revolution' and a host of new original material to set your feet a tapping and your heart a yearning.
The band has become established as the world's major exponent of a hybrid of traditional Ukrainian folk and Western rock music. As well as re-interpreting centuries’ old traditional Ukrainian folk classics, we have become notorious for our 'Ukrainianised versions' of classic Western pop songs by T.Rex, The Sex Pistols, The Smiths, Prince and The Velvet Underground.
We've played the Glastonbury and Womad Festivals in the UK as well as over a hundred major World Music, Folk, Indie and Rock events throughout Western, Central and Eastern Europe and North America.
The group was discovered and pioneered by the legendary BBC Radio DJ John Peel. One of our sessions for the programme was included in MOJO magazine's '20 Landmark Peel Sessions'.

De Gentse Bolwerkfanfare is reeds verdwenen sinds 10 januari 2009. Doorgedreven speurwerk heeft niks opgeleverd De onzekerheid van haar lotsbestemming maakt het nog zwaarder om dragen,maar we moeten sterk zijn en aanvaarden:
DE BOLWERKFANFARE IS NIET MEER
Wij willen op 17 april samen met u een laatste eerbetoon brengen aan de Bolwerkfanfare. Blijf niet met je verdriet zitten, gedeelde smart is halve smart!
De dienst wordt ingekleed door de dames van RouwendeVrouwen.com en om 20h30 opgeluisterd door Rat Ka Bay Bal, een gezelschap dat ons eigenlijk volslagen vreemd is, maar dat beweert de Bolwerkfanfare zeer goed gekend te hebben.
------------------------------------------------- LA BOLWERKFANFARE N’EST PLUS
La cérémonie sera conduite par les dames de RouwendeVrouwen.com et accompagnée musicalement par Rat Ka Bay Bal, une compagnie inconnue qui néanmoins affirme avoir connu la Bolwerkfanfare de tout près.
----------------------------------------------------------- THE BOLWERKFANFARE IS GONE.
The service will be led by the ladies from RouwendeVrouwen.com and musically accompanied by Rat Ka Bay Bal, a band we’ve never heard of, but who claims having known the Bolwerkfanfare very well.
