The first and the only russian ska band was founded in 1982 in Lenigrad Rock Club by two brothers Victor and Grigory Sologub. It was the band for those who got tired from traditional rock music and who wanted to hear some intellectual fun. It was always an enchanting show «with goofy smile, self-irony and nothing in their pockets». The band split up in 1986 into Avia and Igry (Games). They haven’t got together since then. Strannye Igry looked like a childish drowing which no adult can reproduce. Victor Sologub and Alexey Rakhov created a break bit project Deadушки in the late 90-ies. Grigory Sologub died in 2009. No one could ever imagine that Strannye Igry would get together again. The Mumiy Troll band have recorded a song called Strannye Igry on their new album as a dedication to this legendary band from Saint Petersburg. Strannye Igry will perform their only concert in Vladivostok at the V-ROX festival. Phillip, Victor Sologub’s son will play the guitarr.

The “Mumiy Troll” band will perform a concert version of their new album “SOS MATROSU” (“SOS to a sailor”) on the 24th of August. It was recorded during the round-the-globe trip on the “Sedov” bark. The musicians used new compact recording equipment which had been bought in different ports around the world and also some original soviet music instruments. “SOS MATROSU” is a dedication to the “golden age of russian rock” when the enthusiasm and passion prevailed technical abilities. The new album is filled with love towards Vladivostok, a city which still defines the band’s style.

Quick-fire questions: Julien-K

One of the festival headliners, an American band Julien-K answers quick-fire questions.

Have you been to Russia before? Why did you accept the invitation to the V-Rox? Why is it interesting for you? 

No, we have not been to Russia, and we have been trying to play in Russia for years. We’re very big fans of Russian pop culture and design, and some of our best friends and collaborators are Russian. Our main video Director is Russian, Katya Tsyaganova, and our good friend Ilya (who invited us to play the V-Rox festival) are two of our favorite people in the world. We also have a strong cult following in Russia, not only for Julien-K, but our other bands Dead By Sunrise and Orgy.

What russian bands do you know besides «Mumiy Troll» and what music do they perform?

Well, obviously Mumiy Troll is our “go to” Russian band. We love them. But were also fans of some Russian DJ’s like Zeskullz and Proxy.

Which of your songs should people listen to before your performance at the festival?

Were Here With You, Colorcast, Breakfast in Berlin, Palm Springs Reset, Cruel Daze of Summer, Kick The Bass.

How do you promote yourselves to the music market? What resources and mechanisms do you use?

We own our own label, Circuit Freq Records. We fund and promote all of our own material, as well as a variety of other amazing artists: Decode Radio, Computers Want Me Dead, Foxfairy, and more. 

What’s the uniqueness of your band? How are you different from other bands and singers? 

We are the absolute best mash-up of electro dance and rock. We are electro with real rock ‘n roll attitude — and passionate lyrics with melodic and hooky vocals. We sold millions of records in the US by being pioneers of electronic music fused with live energy in a way that no one in the world can touch.
