Not Re: [SEELANGS] Russian Rock

[Nathan Longan]

On the same subject, those interested in cross-cultural pop culture and
music connections should check out Kino Proby.  www.*kino**proby*.com/

Their site has a hilarious photo section on "why we want to live in Russia"

They are a real band with a real following.  I'm afraid I don't know when
their next performance is, but if you get a chance to see them, don't miss
it!

All the best,
Nathan
