TaMtAm & 90s St. Petersburg Underground (Part I)

My attempt at retelling the story behind one of the most important scenes in Russian music history. The video took ages to make so I will just drop a couple of Errors and things I forgot to mention here instead of re-editing the thing again for the millionth time
- Gennady Bachinsky did go to St. Petersburg but would leave Chimera during the early formation stages
- The Obyekt Nasmeshek songs are "On The Verge Of Hysterics" and "Juber Lyuber"
- The Dead Hippies clip was uploaded by the channel ULTRASOMNAMBULA U, the video can be found here

Ok I’ve never heard of them but wow I really like TequilaJazz. It’s too bad I hadn’t heard of them sooner out here in the states. Great band, awesome sound.

[@themroc8231]

Very interesting and I took notes of a few bands to explore their discography further. As a video editor, i suggest you be more careful balancing the sound levels of your different audio sources : the bands sound much louder than your voice and i had to play with the volume knob all along the video.Keep up the good work.

Really nice video, this is really underground stuff nowadays, I am happy someone is not letting this part of music history to be forgotten

[@mousecup]

[@olliestudio45]

[@Hotlocaldad]

Good overview of the bands and nice footage

[@mioszoboza2292]

Thank You so much 🙏

Many thanks for memory, share and good expertice of the bands. In 90s there even existed a term "TaMTam-generation", describing most influental bands of the place (Messer fur FM, Chimera, Jugendstil, Tequilajazzz, Pauki, etc). Maybe it was Redt saying, "all sounded very different, but were doing some vibes". All were experimental and mixing differernent styles and genres. In a reference to Tequilajazzz, one might be interested in the band Pupsy. Band got a short and bright fame, passed away, but became a starting point for some influental hardcore and post-hardcore musicians.

Pupsy are great, sadly I got into them after the video was made so I forgot to mention them. But they will come up on the channel in the future.

[@oscarschwartz300]

I like this video and I really can recommend it !!!

[@olliestudio45]

super interesting too

[@Hagvahl]

На фото и видео не "Буква О", а "Messer For frau Muller" ( не тот что потом стал Нож для Фрау Мюллер) :) "Буква О" была до этого.

[@Girsbot]

awesome work!Can I translate your video into Chinese?

[@Girsbot]

because there are very few posts on the Chinese Internet that systematically introduce Russian post-punk but still a lot of enthusiasts

[@melodybuffet1184]

Sure thing :)
