Vulgargrad

VulgarGrad interprets old songs of the Russian thieves (called blatnie pesny or blatnyak) with punk classics of the Perestroika era and a strong dose of contemporary St. Petersburg swearing ska. The band delivers this music with style, raucous menace, stripy shirts and a smattering of grim smiles (very important).

Legend of stage and screen, Jacek Koman (Children of Men, Moulin Rouge) is the genial but vengeful front man who roars with the voice of a man betrayed. He is backed by a gang of Australia's most illustrious ex-cons drawn from bands such as The Ennio Morricone Experience, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen, Zulya and the Children of the Underground, Croque Monsieur, Blue Drag, and the Five Angry Men.

Line-up is guitar, drums, trombone, trumpet, accordion and the largest, most triangular instrument of them all - the mighty contrabass balalaika. It's vodka-fuelled oompah swing ska punk – gulag - style.
