Independent rock festival "Turkey" is held annually in Russia. The first time it was held in 1990, and since then it has become a cult event - every year, in early September, young rising rock stars gather in one of the rock clubs and make their debut.
The name of the festival comes from the English word independent, that is, "independent" or "independent", as well as from the name of the rock music festival "Turkeys". However, the "transformation" of this word into a funny Russian "turkey" is not accidental - only young, not fledgling groups or performers perform at the festival. For them, this is either the first concert in their life, or the first performance in Moscow. This is a unique musical marathon, a community of talented and unknown performers so far.
Teams participating in the Turkey Fest can play a wide variety of music: from noise electronics to folk-rock, from dubstep to rhythm and blues. As a rule, these are absolutely original, unusual performers, attuning the audience to an alternative, non-mass, underground character of the action.
The organizing committee of the festival preliminarily reviews the regional performances of hundreds of groups, selects demos and looks for new talents. Only the most promising and talented musicians, thirsty for life and dialogue with the world, are included in the list of participants in the "Turkey Poultry" festival and become famous.
The festival is attended not only by the general public, but also by journalists, producers, and promoters. Therefore, young performers have every chance to advance into the music market by civilized means. This method of discovering new names has long been popular in many Western media, but in Russia, young groups have a hard time.
The festival opened to the public such pearls of original music as "Eastern Syndrome", "Rada and Ternovnik", "Collegiate Assessor", "Ivanov Down", "Kazma-Kazma", promising artists such as Zhenya Lyubich from St. Petersburg made their debut, the group "Both Two" from Yekaterinburg, the teams Kira Lao from Novgorod and SUN Dali from Tomsk and many others.
