"Yeah, you've never heard of them. Yeah, you don't know the language. And yeah, ticket prices are rather expensive (to that I just have to say - you try making a profit from a 4-date tour in a foreign country when you've got close to a dozen musicians with you). But this is something you really shouldn't miss. St. Petersburg, Russia's ska/punk/folk/whatever ensemble Leningrad is coming to the US in November to hit Baltimore, New York, Boston, and Chicago. I saw one of their shows this summer in Moscow and I have to say it is one of the best shows I've ever been to. Leningrad's lyrics are great if you understand Russian, but the shows should be fun even if you don't. For more info on the tour, hit Bliss Records. Tour dates with price and point-of-purchase info follow."
