Russian Spy: DRØZDY at the Triad

From the fog of the empire that is no more, comes a cultural force that integrates Soviet artistic expression, American rock and roll, and European post-modernism. When at the last strike of the dying millennium, father time planted his seed in the nebulous substance known as fate, the winged offspring of the union was conceived and later named DRØZDY.
DRØZDY is the name of the band. It was formed in New York City in 2007. At the core of the group is a duo of Soviet born-and-bred Americans: Alex Kustanovich and Vadim Moldovan. They came from the distant world of the United Soviet Socialist Republics (СССР) over 30 years ago with the cultural heritage of a fallen empire which they synthesized with the American experience. DRØZDY roost on the cultural crux.
DRØZDY is a critically acclaimed New York music phenomenon in the genre of Syncretic Existential Rock (SER) performed at filled-to-capacity venues in New York and Boston. The songs of DRØZDY in English and Russian - are windows into the soul of a postmodern man, every one of them spanning the chasm between the Soviet era and postmillennial America. DRØZDY is a cultural phenomenon which draws its creative energies from integrating English and Russian narratives, American and Soviet cultures. Dense lyrics in Russian and English speak of the post-modern existential angst and dialectic transcendence. Haunting melodies are strangely evocative of the Soviet pop and American ballad.
From the start it was a phenomenon to behold. Rending the veil of illusionDRØZDY liberated the senses of those who were ready to listen. Thecremede la creme of the New York cultural cognoscenti has been awed by this movement from its very inception and craved visual representations in fine art.
DRØZDY defined its own genre. The oracular slant of the band's lyrics compelled and mystified listeners throughout the world. In order for the new to take form, the old must yield to the dialectic process. AndDRØZDY embodies the spirit of artistic synthesis. DRØZDY coolly soar over its domain, which abuts the landscape of the Soviet culture and the terrain of the American destiny.
