Fill in Show

Hadji Murat will be filling in a show tomorrow Saturday March 8 from 2-3 PM.

Also, the Contest has been decided. Thanks to Sasha in St. Petersburg! The band is called Страхуйдет (strakhuidyot, or "fearwillgo")

some of their songs can heard here (although admittedly after the first one they aren't that great):

Пионеры (Pioneers)
contains the скороговорка (toungetwister): "на дворе трава, на траве дрова" in the yard is grass, on the grass is wood

Стоп! (Stop!)

Помой

Contest: Name That Band!

Little Water recorded this song from the state radio channel in St. Petersburg, Russia. The host of the radio program gave the name of the group, but unfortunately it is too fast for our ears.

If any Russian-speakers out there can understand and identify that name, you will win a prize. Send your answer to hadji AT wesufm.org
