Iva Nova

in their six-year existence achieved the reputation of
an excellent live act and one of the more interesting musical collectives in
the current Russian alternative culture underground. In Slovenia the girls proved this to be
true two years ago on the stages of the Red Dawns Festival. Their sonic
expression is girlish and playful, yet feminine and proud. They originally
combine an explosive cocktail of punk ethics and Russian spirit with elements of
ska and reggae, with a jazzy influence of tango, klezmer, and the like. Their
rock’n’roll edge and avantgarde intricacies evoke the urban scents of the city
of “Piter”, but when the voices resound with Slavic and Tartar themes, we find
ourselves back in a Russian village.
