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.
