V-ROX 2017 new artists: mescheryakova, The Big Wave, Lightcraft and Vandetta
We are happy to announce another batch of artists who will celebrate with us our 5th year anniversary between 4-6 August in Vladivostok, they are: the superstars of the Chinese underground scene The Big Wave, radio-diva from Singapore – Vandetta, dreamy eco-activists Lightcraft from Indonesia and the charismatic project from Vladivostok – mescheryakova.
The Big Wave (Beijing, China) formed as a garage rock band in 2009 but has since then evolved and developed into playing new wave / post-punk strongly influenced by the 70’s and 80’s. The post-punk and new-wave fans, especially the party animals,have been conquered immediately while the band deserves the recognition of festival organizers as well as Chinese and foreign media. Furthermore, they was chosen as the best live band and best new band in 2013 by foreign magazine. All of these made The Big Wave becoming the most anticipated voice of Beijing rock & roll with no doubt.
mescheryakova (Russia, Vladivostok) – fronted by indie-pop singer Anastasia Meshcheryakova, her music combines poetic lyrics and memorable motifs along with great modern age harmonies. In 2016 the group attracted attention of the local music scene after appearing on the main city stages, including V-ROX festival, and instantly becoming one of the most notable musical discoveries in Vladivostok. In 2017 mescheryakova released her debut EP.
Lightcraft (Jakarta, Indonesia) are an indie-rock/dream-pop band that thrive under quit happyness and melancholia. They pride themselves on their trademark anthemic, melancholic sound; crafting atmospheric songs out of sadness and joy. The band are ambassadors to a non-profit organisation called Bersih Nyok!, whose aim is to make Jakarta a better, cleaner city that could be deemed worthy of being called the capital city of Indonesia.
Vandetta (Singapore) – singer, radio DJ and programme director of Lush99.5 fm radio station. Fronted by Vanessa Fernandes her world of music and entertainment began when she was just 12 years old. She performed in various plays and musicals and sang with famous Singaporean artists. Her debut solo effort was recorded in Los Angeles and soon after she returned to her home to support the growing of the music scene in Singapore and continue to evolve as an artist and performer.
