Name, where are you from?
Kate Shilonosova, Kazan, currently based in Moscow.
What do you do?
I Make music and videos.
Describe your style in three words?
Light, cheerful, foolish.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Ariel Pink @ Solyanka, Moscow. All tracks were awesome that night.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
Gopnik — cause I was born in Kazan in the '90s and I saw with my own eyes how the police put the most dangerous gang of the district face down on my school football field, while we had a geography lesson.
Otaku — cause I love anime and manga.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
John Cage 'cause he is the most inspiring human being to me.
Of all the independent venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
BOL festival @ ZIL.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Expo. Japanese musician from 80s. He is so unsung that I even could not find anything about him. I’m not even sure if he had been making music alone or as a band. But the album that I have is great.
