Just randomly discovered these guys. No idea what they're about, but the main guy seems like a really strange lad. The music is quite out there too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1phklC8tOA --- GREY PIGEON 1st vid I discovered via the RobertPopper site. It's some bizarre low key punky twee thing? Mixed up with weird horrible synths. Utterly fucking brilliant. The whole thing is quite disconcerting as he's gyrating awkwardly about on stage to some weird beat, some weird lyrics and a largely half-asleep or bemused audience.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngtA6cncdSo --- Really creep Lynchesque type song. It wouldn't surprise me if Marily Manson totally nicked this guy's act. 1989. Really disconcerting wild jazz feel to it. Again spasmodic dancing, alien sounding instruments and then extremely raw wild moments or roaring and screeches, to again cutting to bemused and pastel coloured audience members.

This particular track reminds me a little of Magma maybe? Also he looks a bit like David Tennant and Jimmy Nail. His dancing is excellent. I think the video loops a bit.

Who is he?

More. The green backdrop makes everything stranger. The lighting makes him look like a villain.

It's all so cold and weird in a wonderful way. Such a strange bit at 4:09 onwards.

This is all astounding. The song in the green backdrop video appears to be a Joy Division cover.

Where did you find this? It's flipping great and I want to know more. That second song in the OP is Throbbing Gristle as FUCK.

Something I find particularly amusing is that the audience in those first two videos, all of whom look younger than 16 and as if they were tricked into going into a building with a sign that says "COOL SHOPPING MALL WHERE NO PARENTS ARE ALLOWED" but is actually these gigs, are all completely enthralled by the whole thing. Some of them are fucking loving it mate. In that second one whenever yer man does his rickety marionette routine they start whooping and cheering as if Buddy fucking Rich was there doing a six minute solo. Brilliant.

Also the dude really looks like Ron Mael in the first one, even down to the toothbrush moustache.

Complete accident, I was on the Robert Popper website and found the first video, then was drunk and impressed enough to keep watching. Been thinking about it all day.

Ok so this band is called Zvuki Mu (for anyone interested)...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zvuki_Mu

Quote... founded in Moscow in 1983. Lead singer and songwriter Pyotr Mamonov is one of the most revered and eccentric figures of the Russian art scene, whose absurdist lyrics are as playful and disturbing as his vocal style and explosive on-stage presence

Also their only international album https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zvuki_Mu_(album) was apparently produced by Brian Eno.

Great band.  Seem to recall them spinning off from a similar group of wonky bedroom rockers, Aquarium.  All of their stuff was home-recorded and very much unsanctioned and illegal if you want to feel that extra edge when listening to it.

Be sure to look up Piknik, Manufaktura, Pop Mechanics, Kino, early Auktyon, Agata Kristi, Horizont, some of Yuri Morosov, early Nautilus Pompilius and Tehnologia for more off-kilter Soviet New Wave.

Excellent post, thanks for the suggestions. I've only just stumbled on this kind of stuff, so your recommendations go a very long way!
