Named after the song by Hungarian musician, BB Gabor, about an underground jazz club in Moscow during the Cold War, the band describe themselves as “transcendent troubadours of jazz and world music”.
Moscow Drug Club exist in a curious musical place where elements of Berlin Cabaret, Latin Tinge, French musette and storytelling meet…
Imagine having a few to drink and staggering arm in arm into the darkness of an eastern European cobbled street, stumbling into a bar where Django Reinhardt and Tom Waits are having an after-hours jam with the locals.
Reviews include: “Nothing but praise for their performance, absolutely knockout, great musicianship and very entertaining.”
“Amazingly evocative, beautiful and inspiring, such originality just like the band’s name.”
“When they play for fun, they go for it full-heartedly, setting the pulse racing and the toes tapping they deflate pomposity with a twinkle of the eye and, when life is difficult, they tell the story exactly as it is.”
Combining their original material with songs by the likes of Jacques Brel, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen & Eartha Kitt, the five members of the Moscow Drug Club ensemble deliver an intoxicating and intimate musical experience.
