SUMMARY:VTOROI KA
LOCATION:Moritzbastei
DESCRIPTION:Vtoroi Ka are a genre-hopping duo from Bishkek\, Kyrgyzstan. Fo
 rmed in 2017 by old school friends Ilya and Sultan\, they reached undergro
 und success with their first two studio albums (the hip-hop oriented Depen
 dence Day [2020] and more eclectic Serial [2022])\; but it was their slick
  Baxter Dury-esque take on post-punk that sent them viral. After the relea
 se of singles from their third album\, Piggy Ride (2024)\, their following
  exploded to more than 200.000 monthly listeners on Spotify in less than a
  year. Their fanbase is largely in Central Asia\, Russia and countries wit
 h Russian speaking communities\, but increasingly they’re earning wider 
 international success thanks to their enveloping vibe. Key to their pan-na
 tional appeal is combining musical talent with an ability to portray their
  irreverent personalities on camera. The sharp-humoured music videos and t
 he tongue-in-cheek promos they do on social media are equally as sensation
 al as their endlessly inventive music. Vtoroi Ka’s commitment to the Kyr
 gyzstani capital\, where they were raised\, is key here\, too. In contrast
  to a lot of budding production duos vying for space at the forefront of t
 he music business\, they aren’t trying to pose in the major metropoles\,
  but film their music videos in mountainous Bishkek and do an artful job o
 f being their authentic selves and portraying their vibrant corner of the 
 world with seductive charm.\n\n Vtoroi Ka’s outlier charisma as people t
 ranslates in terms of their every step as musicians. It would have been th
 e easy thing to do – create a second post-punk album as it was so succes
 sful – but they defy categorization with their latest release. With the 
 PO GUBE EP\, Sultan and Ilya have made a bombastic\, rave-centric record w
 ith intricate beats with irresistible hooks. At the heart of every song 
 – but especially new single and title track ‘Po Gube’ – is an ear 
 for pop and its freewheeling surges of emotion. If the Hacienda was still 
 going\, they would be giving Vtoroi Ka a residency for the murky\, hard-hi
 tting ecstasy that they convey. Of their musical manifesto\, Vtoroi Ka sta
 te the following: “Po Gube conveys the spirit of the city at night. Its 
 temptations\; its dark side. It’s a sonic dystopia…there is no meaning
 … only sound\, money\, instincts and decay…”\n\n To celebrate the re
 lease of Po Gube\, and as they gear up for their next album\, Vtoroi Ka ar
 e leaving the highways and byways of their more regular haunts in Central 
 Asia for Europe. 2025 is the first time in their history that they will pl
 ay in the West and it’s no meagre spread of venues either. They venture 
 to some iconic venues and play at Iceland Airwaves. With the momentum buil
 ding as it is\, it won’t be long before Vtoroi Ka are the name at the ti
 p of the tongue of your cooler best friend’s lips.\n\nBoletos: https://w
