After sightseeing in the most beautiful city in the world, we went for soundcheck at the MOD Club. We were booked for a concert hall within the complex with a capacity for 400 people, but were informed upon arrival that the hall was undergoing renovation, so we had to play inside the adjacent bar. The explanation was offered to us with a smile: “This is Russia.”
With over 300 in attendance, the bar was bursting at the seams. When it was time for us to start, the crowd of people all surged to get closer to the stage, and for a moment we found ourselves in the interesting position of not physically being able to make it through to the stage to play.
But by the time we blazed a trail and started the show, the tight space and surging crowd was made up for in spades with a heartwarming response.

We were supported by the incredible Marjana and her band iamthemorning. Their music really blew our minds, and we hope to play together with them more in the future.
You can check out their music HERE.
After the gig we rushed to the train station for a night train to Dubna.
Thank you for coming to Saint Petersburg guys. It was true pleasure to listen to your music and to chat with you afterwards. We hope you'll return here some day with a new album!

Thanks Vic! It was a magical evening - we will be back in St Petersburg next year and hopefully our next album will be finished by then :)
