Frantic last minute packing for our trip to St.Petersburg (Russian Federation) tonight so thought I would search for some Russian music to get me in the mood. Didn’t fancy any balalaika nonsense but found ‘Purple Eve’. I know absolutely nothing about them except I think they appeared around 2008 and they are a mixed up combination of punk, folk and psychedelia mixed in with a load of other stuff – fantastic tracks on their MySpace player (click on the image to go there).
