After March’s total roadblock, Radio Gagarin is back with the second in a series of regular Gypsy Balkan Russian Klezmer socialist shakedowns at the NHAC. The Commissar pledges exclusive new music from Oi Va Voi plus special guest musicians Moshikop and Pinedrop, Siberian throat singer, Chyskyyrai, straight from the steppes, sound/art/poetry/circus/puppet theatre/video installations for the Proletariat featuring state artists Adrian Philpott, Zoe, Liz, Josephine and Sara; frozen vodka & rakiya galore and resident DKs (Dancefloor Komissars) Lemez Lovas, Max Reinhardt, Starets & special Siberian guest DK Heretic sweating it out in the Gypsy Diskoteka til’ the road of excess has led us to the place of wisdom. Early evening come to feed your soul with borscht 'n' blinis in the Soviet kitschen and take a rest from your fight for Revolutionary Determinism, for a few counter-rev moments in the Kinodrom with award-winning Czech, Russian and Bosnian shorts plus a feast of new and classic animation in the legendary Jan Svankmajer style. Long live the memory of our fallen comrades at Kronstadt...
