Iva Nova
The four ladies of Iva Nova are inspired by Slavic folk music, but they give their music also a very personal touch. A rather wild touch, we might add.
Don't expect traditional Russian folk, these ladies rock a little too hard for that. Their sonic expression is girlish and playful, yet feminine and proud. If the accordion player picks up her accordion, she makes you dream of the endless soul. But when Iva Nova go on with organ, effects and reverb, they bring you right back to the big city and its exciting urban feeling.
The band was formed in 2002 in St. Petersburg, and traveled to Western Europe for the first time in 2004, after the release of their debut album. In December 2024 Iva Nova published their latest album 'Mnogonastut'. Ever since, they've been touring extensively, playing in numerous clubs and festivals in many countries.
Besides lyrics in Russian, Iva Nova have songs in Ukrainian, Bulgarian or Georgian. Along with exploiting endless folklore, they creatively experiment with many other styles. The amazing live show of Iva Nova is a colorful mix of lyrical songs and energetic punk dancesthat’s pure musical anarchy!
Razmotchiki Katushek
The electronic industrial project Razmotchiki Katushek was founded by two veterans of the underground music scene, Ekaterina Fedorova and Remko Muermans..
After the tragic death of Remko, Ekaterina lets the jointly created music live on as a solo project.
The musicians spent several years carefully collecting conceptual patterns from two musical worlds and blending them in logical constructions in order to treat listeners to an extraordinary fusion of electronic and industrial styles.
The resulting thrilling sound atmosphere is created by analog sound effects, live and electronic rhythms, household objects and factory noise, giving a lot of soul into an absolutely unique world of experimental sound constructs.
