Sounds of Soviet Underground at The Lanes
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Free entry! Tonight, Mikhail, the Lanes is going to be…. the Leningrad Rock Club. London-based cover collective Soviet Underground replicate the sound of 80s Russia’s musical revolution and the legendary bands that leapt from Western rock-imitating subcultural secret to mainstream phenomena. Unique and unmissable."

Support comes from San Vito Ryder, a musician that portrays an anti-religious statement throughout his music whilst effectively merging rock and roll with a post punk gothic flare.
