UNIQUETUNES - Style Kings


Uniquetunes are an 8-piece instrumental band from St.Petersburg, Russia.  Surprisingly quickly they won the recognition of public and critics and developed a distinctive and highly professional sound. They also got positive reactions from Clutchy Hopkins (USA) & Jaga Jazzist (Norway).

There followed many shows in Russia. They have shared a stage with Red Snapper (UK), Russian Circles (USA), DJ Krush (Japan), Bonobo (UK), DJ Vadim (UK),Amon Tobin (Canada) and many others. Critics and audiences compare the band with Sonic Youth, Enter Shikari, Jaga Jazzist and even Pink Floyd's live shows. All their shows have been a great success with fans from all musical backgrounds. "People dance to Uniquetunes like they dance to Radiohead", - the audience says.

Uniquetunes not only provided the soundtrack but also work as individual actors in "Medea" (by Teatro Di Capua), which premiered to great acclaim in March, 2010. In March 2010, Uniquetunes were named "Best Electronic and Visual Act" at the Sergey Kuryokhin Contemporary Art Awards (as compiled from the bands website).
