Here we are at last. We've been slow to get things up on myspace but we've made it.
We'd like to use this site to keep you entertained and let you know what we're up to. This year looks like it will be a busy and intertesting one for us. We've got new songs to release and gigs and festiivals planned so keep in touch.
If this isnt enough for you, we've a few live videos on You tube that you can tune in to.
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 most 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.
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'.
I'd like to thank all those people who have set up myspace sites on our behalf. We'd value your comments and advice in our efforts to get this site up to standard.
Dear friends, my elder bro Dima has made a page dedicated to our lo-fi studio “Happy Records” based in Kyiv, Ukraine, created for non-profit purposes. The focus of the studio work is producing indie artists we subjectively find interesting.
So please, find some time and listen to our friends’ music recorded by us at:
Hey guys! Greetz and cheers from germany... Great music - i listen to your sound since your first(?) record 1991. Ciao Tom And don't forget: Thinkin'N'Drinking with BILDungslücke (raw german 80s punk)
