Who's playing on Saturday in Moscow?
By the way, what is that awful programme on in the monrings, can't remember which channel (Reklama?) where some woman interviews a guest with the most obvious product placement I have ever witnessed. She sits on a sofa pouring the guest tea into yellow mugs with Liptons printed on it, from a big yellow teapot with Liptons printed on it, using Liptons teabags, with (you guessed it) tabs on the teabags with Liptons printed on it. This is done without fail every morning with it all done in closeup. What shite.
Is Dom Dva still going? Plus the topical news programme Protokol was only worth watching for the fit woman that presents it. And the experience of waking up turning on the TV and finding the BBC's My Hero (with Ardal O'Hanlon wotshisname) sitcom being played. Kultura is a good channel for watching Soviet movies, plus you get that cool continuity thing on there at the beginning of every hour with the golden peacock clock from the Hermitage coming to life.

JWH said:Oh, cool. Where are you playing in Moscow?
(Feel free not to answer if you don't want to out yourself).
Hi JWH
Just got back yesterday. I played a new club in Moscow on Saturday called Moveton. It was ok, not as busy as my gig in Perm on Friday though. I played in front of 5000 people! Bit gutted thpough as again I wasn't there long enough to see anything. Hopefully gonna go back in the summer for a couple of weeks though!
You like it? I thought it was a bit pricy when I was there. And a lot of posers. But good music. Some lass called Alison Marks was playing there when I popped in in August. But appoximately a fiver for a Carlsberg is taking the piss. People I know in Russia find that kind of pricing horrendous, seen as they don't earn much more than £100 a month. So that makes places like Propaganda a bit elitist.
They're very varied: you can find clubs that are more expensive and exclusive than (I dunno - what's e&e in London?) China White, but there are also squat-type places. Lots of theme bars and restaurants, rock clubs, dance clubs, strip/lapdancing clubs, whatever. I've even been (unintentionally) to a rockabilly night at a club!

I've went to St Petersburg in July this year, if you PM me your email geminisnake I can send you a few pics if you want so you get a bit of an impression, plus I can tell you the places I liked.
