The Toobes are the hot new trio from Minsk, Belarus with a drumming lead singer. Still in their early twenties these guys within several months became a true sensation of 2009 in the native country with their unique powerful mix of rock’n’roll, hard rock and punk influences.
Their first success happened in January 2009 when they won a joint Belarusian-Swedish contest “BandScan” which got them to play several shows in Sweden afterwards. In April they self-released their critically acclaimed debut album “Hello” and presented it live during their first-ever solo show at one of the biggest clubs of Minsk which was full of public.
In June 2009 together with the highly popular Lyapis Trubetskoy they represented Belarus at the “Be2gether” festival in Lithuania, where Gogol Bordello (USA), Polarkreis 18 (Germany) and Clawfinger (Sweden) also played. Then they participated in several big festivals in Belarus and played their second solo show in October, presenting the free-download Internet-only EP “Indie Who Indie”.
Our debut album is finally available. There were no labels involved, we decided to make it a self-distributed release, so if you want a copy please email us at thetoobes_AT_gmail_DOT_com or message us on myspace.
