Revolver, a group from the town of Petrozavodsk, which is finding some success on St Petersburg's club scene, will play at the TaMtAm club on Thursday.
TaMtAm's Thursdays are usually reserved for avant-garde and other types of off-beat music not intended for a mass audience.
But this week's Thursday will be devoted to the music which stems from 1960's Britain.
The group's name obviously derives from the Beatles' album, but in fact its music is more akin to that of the Rolling Stones of the 1960s.
When asked about their favorite bands, Revolver members (pictured) cite also the Velvet Underground, Sid Barrett's Pink Floyd, The Kinks and the early Who -- tastes uncommon in their home town where heavy metal and mainstream rock dominate.
Revolver say they are not "just another revival band." Their sources of inspiration are discernable, but the group's songs are not simple imitations. Moreover, they sing in Russian.
Small wonder that Revolver's favorite Russian band is St Petersburg's Wineceaster, whose leader, Alexei Gelter, writes his songs in English and never hesitates to mention The Kinks in his interviews or perform Ray Davies' song or two in concert.
If the Russian record industry ever released singles (presently it doesn't), some of Wineceaster's material from the recent recording sessions would make great A-Sides, especially the somewhat self-ironic song "Alcoholics."
Earlier this month Wineceaster made its television debut, an hour-long appearance on the Moscow phone-in show "Live with Max."
Currently Wineceaster is putting final touches in a Moscow studio to what will hopefully become its debut album.
However, to suppose that Russia is experiencing some sort of British 1960s' music revival would be misleading.
The Beatles are popular here as they have ever been, but both Revolver and Wineceaster are not part of any movement or trend.
Instead they stand alone in a local club scene dominated by grunge and techno.
