Latexfauna (UA)
Ukrainian band Latexfauna takes the stage at Rock Café in Prague at 20:00.
Latexfauna is a Kyiv-based indie pop band formed in 2015 by three students from the Institute of Journalism at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Frontman Dmytro Zezyulin and his bandmates blend chillwave, dream-pop and synth textures, writing lyrics in Ukrainian and surzhyk - a Ukrainian-Russian mixed vernacular - which made them prominent advocates of that idiom in contemporary Ukrainian music. Their breakthrough came with the singles "Surfer" and "Ajahuaska"; the second album Senbernar (2022) expanded their palette with funk and disco influences. In 2024 the band won the YUNA award for Best Pop Group.
The band released an acoustic version of the single Persha Rika and announced a summer tour Summertime Madness Tour across Ukrainian cities.
Latexfauna released the single Persha Rika inspired by the childhood of frontman Dmytro Zezyulin in Cherkasy region.
During 2025, the band released singles Shovkovytsya, City and Nich, continuing the series of regular single releases.
At the 13th ceremony of the national music award YUNA, the band Latexfauna won in the category Best Pop Group.
The band released singles Lucerna, Sweet and Makoterchyk and performed at the festivals Atlas United and Faine Misto.
