Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
To the good people here in the States, Russia is generally equated with vodka, Communism, and Sarah Palin’s formerly “watchful eye.” Rock ’n’ roll? Not so much.
Lucky for us, insanely popular (in Russia) band Mumiy Troll is determined to change that. MT’s catchy “rockapops” sound is kind of like The B-52s singing lead for Franz Ferdinand, but with a mildly disturbing edge. The video for “Me Eskimo (My Polar Bear),” for example, mixes furry fetishes with some very large and naughty pickles.
Catch the “Rolling Stones of Russia” during an all-ages show at Martini Ranch & Shaker Room.
