New confirmed acts - Alyona Alyona & The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Alyona Alyona
"One of Ukraine's few female rappers, Alyona Alyona spits lightning-fast flows - and zero expletives." – Josie Thaddeus-Johns, The New York Times
The kindergarten teacher from a small town near Kiev became a national sensation practically overnight in 2018 after her debut video "Ribki" went viral on the local music scene. Alyona Alyona is considered one of the most important Ukrainian hip-hop icons and an unstoppable force of nature with both feet firmly on the ground.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
The Brian Jonestown Massacre is one of the most famous psychedelic rock bands in the world. The media call their music "stoned psychedelia" and "narcotised dream-rock", in fact their numbers are highly trippy - a mixture of Doors and Velvet Underground, as it were - and infiltrate various elements from genres such as shoegaze, folk and garage rock, from blues and country. The result is an unmistakably hallucinatory, hypnotic, 60s-inspired sound that has influenced dozens of bands.
