До свиданья, дорогая!
Music
A band from Saint Petersburg that makes a kind of post-punk/indie-pop. Not for long yet, so not much material yet. However, they already have a few very successful tracks with original music videos. До свиданья, дорогая is the
Russian title for the film
The Goodbye Girl (1977), but it has nothing to do with it.
Three from Дурной Вкус (Durnoy Vkus), which means bad taste (see
synonyms,
Reverso, and
Akademik). It is also the
Russian title of
Bad Taste (1987), the debut film by
Peter Jackson. A band from Saint Petersburg, the music is tasty, but a bit on the cold side.
About leaving and being certain. Не найти в доме дома: no home found in the house. Лучше пусти меня: better to let me go. And что там не ждут меня, that they aren’t waiting for me there: это не беда – it doesn’t matter, no big deal.
телеэкран (Teleekran) 4x
Music
Trio from Saint Petersburg, active since 2017. ‘Noisepop/postpunk/lo-fi/rock/indie/pop/outsider music’ (
VK), and it’s just really good. See Kartaslov for the
meaning of the word «телеэкран», which tells you that a tele-ekran is a TV screen.
ПОРТ(812) 3x + Маррадёры
Music
Yet another punk rock band that’s been around for a long time. Founded in the previous century (1999), you’d think ПОРТ(812) would be nearing its expiration date by now. But judging by their latest album, ПОРТ(812) is still fresh and energetic—and punk is far from dead.
Vadim Kurilev – Harakiri
Music
Несогласие (Saint Petersburg) translates to
disagreement. Linguistically related to
соглашаться / согласиться (the verbs for agreeing, being in agreement); also, the word for consonant (согласная) is easy to recognize in the band name. You could even call it Counter-Consonant.
Чёрная Речка – Monster
Music
Besides the never-to-be-surpassed
hardbass version, see
Adidas), there is also a Три полоски (tri paloski) by Animal ДжаZ (Animal Jazz). From Saint Petersburg, check out the (English-language)
Wikipedia and
song lyrics. From 2009, and still holds up.
