Shortparis

Formed in Saint Petersburg, in 2012. It’s music is experiment-orientated. Live performances of the band are beyond the scope of the musical concerts, they look more like performative practices of the contemporary art. Impugning the system of the club concerts, "Shortparis" actively performs at unprepared venues: abandoned industrial buildings, open grocery stores and etc. The band poses itself as an opposition to the modern musical scene. Living through its loneliness, the band sets its sight on finding original musical and art solutions. The band broke up in the autumn, 2020, soon after the musicians had fulfilled their ambitions, and had decided to dedicate themselves to farmery.
