“The BlueStocking” are a Moscow-based quintet who’s creations are often described as “a soundtrack for a movie Tim Burton is yet to create” due to their playfully dark theatricalities.

The band take their name from an 18th century term for educated, critically-thinking women - absolute outcasts at the time.

Taking inspiration from performers such as the Dresden Dolls, Sparks, Siouxsie & the Banshees, NOM, Auktzyon and Mr Bungle, their music is equally eclectic — uniting the rhythms of prog rock with a dark cabaret philosophy.

Their distinctive style is characterised by powerfully emotional vocals, expressive piano passages, a solid guitar flow, a smooth'n'sharp female rhythm section and masterful saxophone shenanigans.

Steve, Jeffrey, Dub.  
The Beatles, The NFL, Dazed and Confused, Ace Frehley, Dolly Parton, and no shortage of other nonsense.
