Blast

Blast are Russia’s number one Indie Rock Band. They were hailed by NME as the “Godfathers of Vladrock”. The Guardian dubbed them “The Controversial Young Stars of The Russian Rock Scene”, and Time Out has classed their music as “Dirty, Sleazy, Alternative Rock n Roll”.

Blast are huge back home having supported Blur, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Razorlight, Florence and The Machine and Muse on tour – they have really mixed it with the big boys in the music industry. Just to reinforce their pedigree this August they will be a support act for U2. Now they hope to break into the UK market and Nibley have lured them over to deepest, darkest Gloucestershire to get their feet on the UK festival circuit.  Having already featured on Steve Lamacq’s Radio 1 show and been produced by the likes of Mark Tolle and Graham Pilgrim who have worked for The Stone Roses and The Stranglers respectively, there is every possibility they will recreate the success they already enjoy back home.
