- **Event Description**: We Are Your Friends! Bringing 2000s Indie Back

We’re bringing 2007 back - but with a twist. Almost 20 years ago, alongside the peak of emo, other music genres also reached their height. Dance-punk, nu-rave, electroclash, retro-rock - this was the soundtrack for stylish club-goers from New York to Berlin. Critics dismissively called it landfill indie, but now people are once again nostalgic for indie sleaze, and bands like The Dare and The Hellp are literally reviving the sound of the late 2000s.

So why did the most cutting-edge rock and indie music of the time turn into one big colorful disco? What role did the wave of retro obsession play? And the financial crisis? Why do we still love listening to - and singing at karaoke - songs by MGMT, The Killers, and Justice? And how was this culture reinterpreted in Russian?

We’ll explore all of this in a talk by journalist and music critic Nikolay Ovchinnikov.

Put on your skinny jeans, bold graphic tees, and your Vans slip-ons.

First, we talk - and before and after, Nikolay will play a DJ set with the best dance-punk and electronic music of the late 2000s.

We! Are! Your! Friends! And you’ll never be alone again!
