Getting in Touch With Women’s Day
Women’s Day, which is on 8 March, is
fast approaching, so it’s high time to lay some plans for the
celebration. Don’t forget flowers and kisses, of course, but remember,
nothing can compare to a dinner in one of Kyiv’s luxurious restaurants.
What’s On helps out all the men out there who are at a loss for where
to wine and dine their better halves.

Spicy Popstar Hopeful Wassabi
If Ukraine’s economy could run on
young female pop stars, we could all kiss the crisis goodbye.
Unfortunately that’s not the case, but at least no one can claim any
deficit of good-looking girls dancing and singing on massive
flat-screen TVs. The latest, and youngest, of the bunch to make a run
at the Ukrainian big time is Wassabi, a 16-year-old from Zaporizhya.
With the help of producer Dima Klimashenko, she hit the airwaves last
year with her first pop confection.

| This Week Germany’s Electropoppers |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Kissogram, Xlib club (12 Frunze), 24 January at 23.00
A electropop group from Berlin that’s now about a decade old, Kissogram crafts simple, accessible and slightly weird tunes like their hit I’m The Night Before (in which lyric of the title is followed by ‘…you die’) and She’s an Apple Pie. They played here last year, so Kyiv audiences should already be familiar with their work. This time around, they’ll be backed by Joe Dillwort, whose drumwork will provide the necessary beats for the band when they perform at Xlib.

Festival of American Independent Movies, Kinopanorama cinema (19 Shota Rustaveli), 23-28 January
The art-house cinema Kinopanorama is arranging something sure to warm ex-pat hearts: a screening of a recent American film with Ukrainian subtitles and without dubbing. The movie in question is The Life Before Her Eyes, directed by Ukrainian Vadym Perelman and starring Uma Thurman. In the flick, a terrifying murder stirs childhood memories, disturbing the life of an ordinary housewife. Perelman’s been nominated for three Oscars in his career, but who even cares?

Concert in memory of Vladimir Vysotsky, Officers’ House (30/1 Hrushevskoho), 24 January at 19.00
Vladimir Vysotsky, he of the gravelly voice and acoustic guitar and non-healthy lifestyle, was a major force in the popular culture of the Russian-speaking world in the last century. He was a singer, songwriter, poet and actor whose talent was encompassed by the word ‘bard’ (a term he actually resisted). Famous during his lifetime, he continues to exert influence over contemporary Russians. The Officers’ House will host a performance of his songs from the Kyiv Theatre of Poetry and Song. Admission is 50-180 hrv.

| This Week Pop-Rock in a Passazh Pub |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Antytila in concert, Docker ABC (15/4 Khreschatyk-Zankovetskoi), 29 January at 20.00
Pop outfit Antytila has been at it since 2004, playing an intelligent variety of pop-rock music and even managing to get it over on people who particularly like neither pop nor rock. They’re seasoned veterans of the Kyiv club scene and of the huge stage on Maidan Nezalezhnosti alike. After four years they’ve finally put together their debut album. You’ve already seen the video for their song Miami in rotation on local music television, and now you can come and hear the rest of their act.

| This Week Jazz Ballet and Globalisation |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Black O!Range Jazz Ballet, SCO!TCH, Kyiv Academic Youth Theatre (1517 Lypska), 25 January at 20.00
The Black O!Range Jazz Ballet is a troupe of young dancers whose thing is experimental modern ballet. Their latest ballet doesn’t tell a story or seem to have anything like a plot, but it still manages to show the protagonist dealing with the difficult and complex circumstances of the modern globalised word, lost in the wishes, habits and problems of the people around him. Or at least that’s what we’re told. Apart from the ballet, guests will also have a chance to witness a performance by the French guitarist and composer Rene Aubry.

| This Week Boombox Blasts Beats to Chase the Midwinter Weather |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Boombox in concert, Bingo club (112 Peremohy Pr.), 29 January at 19.00
The band Boombox is getting bigger and bigger in Ukraine thanks to its clever lyrics, acoustic guitar stylings, DJ-scratching and the strong vocals of Andrey Hlyvnyuk. Their music is a combination of reggae, jazz, hip-hop, rock ‘n’ roll, soul and, well, a lot of stuff. Whatever they put in, the same thing always comes out: high-energy tunes guaranteed to get your feet moving, your heart pumping and the crowd hopping. Check them out for a good time. Tickets are 150-350 hrv.

| This Week Legal Contrabanda Plays Pop Rock at Golden Gate Pub |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Contrabanda in concert, Golden Gate Pub (15 Zolotovoritska), 24 January at 21.00
Mellow pop-rockers Contrabanda have been around since back in 2001. After four years of labourious touring and writing and honing their sound, the band finally signed with Comp Music and cut their debut record. What’s more, the group worked with a Stockholm studio to release one of their songs in English. Nowadays, the band writes a lot in English, but their latest album is still almost 60 percent Ukrainian songs. They’re good in any language, so check the group out.

| This Week Artist Focuses on Dollars |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Exhibition of paintings by Volodymyr Tovkailo, Soviart Centre for Contemporary Art (22A Andriyivsky Uzviz), till 29 January
For all of January, the Soviart Centre for Contemporary Art will be showing off stuff by artist Volodymyr Tovkailo. The show is called Top 10: Objects of Worship. Taking as his starting point the world financial crisis, the artist has made the focus his work money. His pictures depict bank notes of different styles, elevating currency to the subject of mystic contemplation. It certainly seems to have reached that height in recent years.

| This Week Renaissance Dance in Kyiv |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Ball of the Carnival of Lorenzo de Medici, National Philharmonic (2 Volodymyrsky Uzviz), 24 January at 19.00
The Carnival of Lorenzo de Medici is nothing less than a celebration of the Italian Renaissance, and guests will get the total package: magnificent costumes, period music performed on period instruments, the troupe Cracovia Danza dancing period dances, and even Renaissance food. Of course, there’s also the main event, a play called the Masked Ball of Queen Bona. Apparently, Lorenzo the Magnificent, a member of a family known historically for its wealth and patronage of the arts, will even make an appearance.

| Ukraine Travel Getting to Know Ukraine’s Ski Resorts |
Thursday, 22 January 2009
Ukrainians tend to look to their neighbours like Poland or Slovakia for skiing, or, if they can afford to, they gaze as far away as the Alps or the Rockies. Why? Simple: those places have more well-developed resorts (while the Rockies, up there on the high-altitude middle of the American continent, simply have more and drier snow). But in the last few years domestic winter tourism has been on the rise in Ukraine, and resorts in the country have been rushing to meet the demand.

James Blunt Thinks Kyiv is Beautifu
James Blunt in concert, Palace Sport (1 Sportyvna Pl.), 2 March at 19.00
James Blunt is the English folk-rock singer-songwriter who rose to fame back in 2005 with his debut album, Back to Bedlam, which featured appealing singles like You’re Beautiful. The BRIT award winner and Grammy nominee’s mellow style melds pop, rock and folk, and his rough-hewn looks tend to win over the women in the audience. Tickets will soon be on sale for this latest excellent rock-music offering from Palace Sport, of all places, which has been on a roll with its bookings for the last year or so. For more information call 246-7406.

From Mitsubishi A Good, Standard Ride
Times have changed a little bit in
the world of automobiles here in the Mother City of the Slavs. For a
long time, easy credit and cheap petrol conspired to create a local
situation in which ‘the bigger, the better’ was the operative logic,
which means that you couldn’t walk 10 metres in the city without
bumping into a massive brand-new night-coloured SUV. (Or it bumping
into you.) But with Ukraine feeling the squeeze of the financial
crisis, that’s all over for the moment, and it might be time for
Ukrainians to start taking to smaller cars. The new Mitsubishi Lancer X
Sportback is precisely one of those cars. We took it out for a test
spin.
