ГРОМЫКА - «Говорил я вам»/ GROMYKA - «As I Said Unto You»

Громыка: Громыка / Gromyka from Petrozavodsk, Karelia, play «As I Said Unto You» in «Behemoth» club, October 02, 2015. Снято и записано на концерте в клубе «Бегемот» [Петрозаводск] 2 октября 2015 года. Distorted Soviet Retro Chic GROMYKA is a rock-group formed in Petrozavodsk, Russia, in 2014. The group’s name is a reference to Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet foreign minister. In Russian the word is also reminiscent of ‘thunder’ and ‘noise’. To define their music, GROMYKA coined the term heavy psychedelic twist reflecting three parts of their sound: heavy, thunderous rhythm section, psychedelic sounds produced by bizarre stylus-operated synthesizer Stylophone 350s coupled with a glockenspiel and ‘proclaiming’ and ‘formidable’ vocal, influenced by Soviet ’60s ‘patriotic twist’ singers like Muslim Magomaev. While claiming many influences (from Joe Meek to Oberiu ’20s-’30s avant-garde literary group) GROMYKA’s image (Politburo chic) and sound are unique, producing a convincing albeit surrealistic effect. GROMYKA are: Maxim Koshelev — vocal, glockenspiel; Nikita Vlasov — guitar; Pavel Frolov — Stylophone (Faemi on early sessions); Andrei Petelyaev — bass guitar; Petr Vaskovsky — drums.
