Planet Bob

Didn't realize at first that's the band's real name !

On hindsight, quite fitting for a 80's glamour-punk group

 

Talking about Russian music...

Tuned in onto a report on Kamchatka on ZDF-doku the other day - and they were playing a catchy song in the background all the time.

 

Had to find out and it turned out to be an '84 cult Russian song from the good old cold war days

Very peculiar song, has a bit of Kraftwerk, Major Tom and "Eisbaer" feeling to it

Love it - listening to it is like a time voyage, even though the singer was from the other side of the curtain and I only heard it for the first time a week ago:

 

Kamchatka

Wow, they had Casio synthesizers in Russia as well?

 

What a lovely song, thanks a bunch!

 

Russia is a bit of a blind deaf spot for me, I think I know

and that's it already

BTW: Since you're from Austria, I'm sure you can tell me what song is here in this video from 0:55 to 1:03?

If it helps any, I remember the video starting with a line like "She threw my TV out of the window" (unless I'm confusing it with something else) and I know the guy is called "Mo"

Wow, you really got a soft spot for obscure, long-forgotten musicians

 

I remember him, though not that song. Looks to be Wild, Wild, Wild .

Actually he is extremely talented (and appears to have built up a successful existence judging from his website), but failed to achieve popularity due to his over-the-top vanity...

 

btw, here are the translated lyrics for Kamchatka

Never heard of them, pretty good. Liked Kamchatka too.
