VulgarGrad

Kings of Russian criminal sound, VulgarGrad are an international treat for Bitter & Twisted ears. Imagine…vodka, tattoos, money, guitars, drugs, jail, and girls (including dear old mama) this is the world - the world of the Russian criminal.

For the first time ever in Australia, VulgarGrad bring you the old songs of the Russian thieves (called blatnie pesny or blatnyak), along 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 frontman who roars with the voice of a man betrayed, and he is backed by a gang of Australia's most illustrious ex-cons.
