Moscow's music scene is as varied as usual this weekend — you can listen to anything from industrial rock to pop-jazz and beyond.
On Thursday you can catch Tinavie, one of the best English-language Russian bands with their own brand of soft, jazzy pop music with original female vocals at Powerhouse. Tinavie will perform as a trio, which is how the band started out, playing new material and oldies in new covers.
Dewar's Powerhouse. 7/4 Goncharnaya. Metro Taganskaya, Marksistskaya. Tickets are 700 rubles ($10.50). At 8 p.m.
On Saturday fans can finally see a concert that was supposed to happen a year ago. The German industrial rock band Einsturzende Neubauten planned to present their latest album "Lament" devoted to WWI, but frontman Blixa Bargeld broke his leg and the concert was postponed. The band will perform songs from "Lament," as well as older material that the band also associates with WWI.
Yotaspace. 11 Ulitsa Ordzhonikidze. Metro Leninsky Prospekt. Tickets 2,200-5,000 rubles ($33-75). At 8 p.m.
If you are into post-punk, don't miss the last performance of the Moscow-based band Glintshake and its versatile frontwoman Katya Shilonosova. The band announced that this will be the last performance of their old English-language material before they move on to something new. This is also a good opportunity to check out the new venue Konstruktor located in a former beer factory.
Konstruktor. 12/1 Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Metro Kievskaya. Tickets are 300 rubles ($4.50). At 10 p.m.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
