Dmitry Spirin

Dmitry Spirin, a Russian musician working in pop-punk, brings a tour built around the songs of the band Tarakany! to New Cross Inn in London. The programme marks what would have been the band's 35th anniversary.

Dmitry Spirin is a Russian musician working in the pop-punk genre and active since 1991. The tour, titled Tarakany! - 35 Years, marks the anniversary of the band Tarakany!, which ceased to exist in 2022. Interest in its catalogue has continued since the split, and the tour builds on that continuing following.

The programme gathers the band's biggest hits. Songs from the recent repertoire include "Ya smotryu na nikh", "Tishina — eto smert", "Vlasteliny vselennoy" and "Samyy schastlivyy chelovek na Zemle", alongside "5 slov", "Meshki s kostyami", "To chto ne ubivayet tebya" and "Dva po sto". The show is described as high in energy, with a strong sense of connection between audience and performers. Discussion of the war and songs on that theme are not part of the programme.

New Cross Inn is a London venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening is built for listeners who know the band's songs and want to hear them performed live under Dmitry Spirin's name.
