Our full name is "THE EASTERN WRITING BLOC". A friend said that "TEWB" would be more appropriate.

We started out with two guys and two girls doing line dance music and we liked to think of ourselves as the new Russian STEPS. When the girls left we just spent most of our time feeding the ducks in Gorgie Park till Ivan Tashaag (our synth guy) got a sprained wrist for a while and we were all out of action for a year. Then Yuri said we should make Trance and the rest is (fake) history.

Steps, Tatu, Feltchmeister Bottenhagen.

Verkhoyansk (in the winter)

Yamaha AK47, Gurevich T34, Polyarny RKX 10, ARP 2600, Roland E.G.

POP IN THE CHERRY ORCHARD is available now at CafePress. Do not buy it unless you are a rich capitalist pig or you just can't be arsed downloading the tracks for free at the music page.
It makes no difference to us as we are destined to a life of intolerable angst and mind-numbing boredom at a sausage factory near Moscow anyway.
