Ivan Ivanovich & The Kreml Krauts

A bit of Ska, a hint of Russia and a spoonful of punk, pouring out of electric basses and guitars, french horn, a saxophone, and creeping over drums, an accordion and a violin. That's what Ivan Ivanovich & The Kreml Krauts dance to. A violin and an accordion with a broken A-Major, bring you the sounds of eastern Europe. With a voice that over the years has been washed out by wine and Volga-water, Ivan Ivanovich & The Kreml Krauts sing songs about schnitzel, vodka and sorrow, while horn, drums, bass and guitar are entertaining your legs. From far away, the disciples of the schnitzel come to see the concerts of Ivan Ivanovich & The Kreml Krauts. No shirt stays dry, no leg stays in its place and no bottle of vodka is kept closed if the band has set up camp nearby. "Black-Tea-flavoured Schnitzel-Beat" - that's what the eight piece band from Trier, Germany, calls their musical style - a fresh new brand of music that wants to be one thing above all others: "Fast...and in-your-face!". Anyone who has not yet experienced the Schnitzel-Beat will be instantly moved back in time to the nostalgic Russia of the 1920's and will leave the band's show exhausted and happy for a glass of ice-cold vodka with pickles at the next bar. Releases: After the first demo tape recorded in the spring of 2008, Ivan Ivanovich & The Kreml Krauts recorded the studio EP "Begi Suka" containing 5 songs in November 2008. The demo tape as well as the recently released EP are available for download on the internet free of charge under a Creative Commons licence. The band's song "Deutsches Essen in Russland" ("German food in Russia") off the first demo won at the "Open Music Contest" and was released on OMC-Sampler #4: "thistleblower". Shows: After several gigs in the region of Trier, Germany, the "Kreml Krauts" supported “Russkaja” at the "Groove Cocktail" Festival in Vienna and played together with the internationally known world punk band "Firewater" in Marburg. Additionally, the band plays an acoustic program at exhibitions and vernissages of the artist collective "Äffchen" on a regular basis.
