PLOHO + A.S. FANNING Zukunft am Ostkreuz, Berlin am 30.11.22

Ploho — post-punk  / new wave band from the cold expanses of Siberia. Accenting on a low-fi sound the band quickly gained popularity at home in Russia and later on abroad. In 2020 Ploho were signed by the Canadian label Artoffact Records and at the moment planning their tour through South and Northern America.

Ploho combines coldness and loneliness with the stylish sound of classical post-punk. Their songs tell about living in the post-Soviet space with all its features: panel buildings, brainwashing TV and oppressive routine. The band reveals and romanticizes the world of a regular person living in the next flat. Unremarkable life here gets vivid images with melancholic shadow full of nostalgia for the 90s and 00s.
