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'.
