Pale
Russians are Torbjörn Hanö and Ulf Lindberg from
Lund, Sweden. A net-based,
absolutely DIY project by two renegades whose shared CV includes local
gigs
under different band names and goes more than 20 years back. (Once we
appeared
at the Association of the Deaf. “Too loud,” they
thought).
We
believe in three-minute novels and would feel honoured if you hear
echoes of
Ian Hunter, the Velvet Underground, Kinks, Joy Division, Jesus
& Mary
Chain, Posies, Jimmy Eat World, Teenage Fanclub and even Tom Waits in
our
output.
The
name Pale Russians popped up in reaction to a photo of Kaiser Putin
(since then
he’s obviously started working up a tan). Then we learned
that
“pale Russians”
once were Jews who could only settle on Russian soil behind a palisade
(http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/pale.html).
We sort of like the contradiction.
