Mumiy Troll in Boston

The band members call themselves “Far Eastern, evergreen romantics.” Mumiy Troll was founded in Vladivostok (Russia’s biggest Pacific port) by frontman Ilya Lagutenko.

Since then, these musicians have played gigs worldwide: from Siberia to the Baltics, Mongolia to Greenland — and from Shanghai clubs to Saint Petersburg’s Palace Square. Despite international renown, they remain fresh and very keen to experiment — further still from home.
