Shortparis

Formed in Saint Petersburg, in 2012. Its music is experiment-orientated. Live performances of the band are beyond the scope of the musical concerts, they look more like performative practices of the contemporary art. Impugning the system of the club concerts, Shortparis actively performs at unprepared venues: abandoned industrial buildings, open grocery stores and etc. The music of Shortparis combines irrational, spastic dance grooves with theatrical performances and exalted vocals in Russian, French and English. The band poses itself as an opposition to the modern musical scene.
