Vtoroi Ka (KG)

Kyrgyz sensation Vtoroi Ka is coming to Brno for the first time. The genre-defying duo from Bishkek has amassed hundreds of thousands of listeners worldwide in a short time through a blend of post-punk, rave, hip-hop, and ironic pop chaos. They will perform on September 28 at Fléda club. Vtoroi Ka are known for their hypnotic atmosphere, sharp humor, and infectious energy, with concerts that balance between dark club ecstasy and complete genre freedom. If you want to experience one of the most distinctive new bands on the post-Soviet alternative scene before they sell out larger venues, this is an evening you shouldn't miss.

Vtoroi Ka is a genre-diverse duo from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The group was founded in 2017 by childhood friends Ilya and Sultan. They achieved underground success with their first two studio albums - the hip-hop-oriented Dependence Day (2020) and the more eclectic Serial (2022) - but became a true viral sensation thanks to their refined post-punk in the style of Baxter Dury. After releasing singles from their third album Piggy Ride (2024), their fanbase on Spotify grew to over 200,000 monthly listeners in less than a year. The key to their transnational appeal is the combination of musical talent with the ability to authentically portray their unconventional personalities on camera. Music videos full of sharp humor and ironic promotional activities on social media are as striking as their endlessly inventive music. Their dedication to their native Bishkek, where both grew up, also plays an important role. Unlike many emerging producer duos competing for a place in the spotlight of the music industry, they don't try to style themselves as big-city stars. They shoot their music videos in mountainous Bishkek and with natural charm present this pulsating corner of the world to the world. The extraordinary charisma of Vtoroi Ka's members shines through in their every move.
