"In the band's own mythology, The Krolls are a cross between rabbits (kroliki in Russian) and trolls. The members are drawn as four rabbit-like characters on the band's posters and on the album cover. The band's designer, Vadim Chyorny, has also drawn a logo, with two ls forming a rabbit's ears." [Quote] Welcome to the weird but colourful world of The Krolls, a 'Frenchelectroalcopop' band from St Petersburg (Russia)who are influenced by Xavier Cugat, Shivaree, Charlotte Gainsbourg and 'raggy' music (they mean reggae). A collegue is going to see them this Saturday in Moscow, wish I could be there because I think these jolly hipsters make quite a scene. They do a cover of Nirvana's Rape Me in French (Viole Moi), their hitsingle is called Le Cocaine, Le Chocolat and singer Masha Andreichikova has a sweet girlie voice, perfect for this kind of pop. You can download songs from their MySpace, or from this site.
The Krolls - Viole Moi(Rape Me) (Nirvana-cover)
The Krolls - Au Revoir
The Krolls - Le Cocaine, Le Chocolat
(psst! want to see carla bruni wearing nothing but black boots? here!)
Wow - an amazing group, quelle surprise! Thanx for the tip. I'd love to support them and buy the album, but it looks like it's difficult to find - any tips?!
