Lyapis Trubetskoy
State Theatre
I was so excited when I saw this show advertised - Lyapis is my very favorite Belorussian rock band and I've been listening to them for over 10 years and never thought I would have a chance to see them live.
This show was pretty expensive though and holding it the Friday before Memorial Day was probably what contributed to the small crowd. There were two opening bands that I didn't catch the name of, although I think they may have been local. Both were sort of pop-punk bands (one was more emo).
Lyapis Trubetskoy could be classified as a ska band, since they have horns, but they play a pretty wide variety of rock styles. They played a lot of stuff that wasn't so familiar to me (new?) but since they played for two hours they covered some of my favorites too. I doubt I'll see this many Belorussian flags in one place again for a while. Very fun show.
