Interesting video here. About an hours worth of acts even Barnes likely hasn't heard of. The dead silence and boredom of the crowd is interesting.
Top of the Pops this ain't...
To be honest, I kind of rate that new wave song at 29:00. They even seem to invoke a feeling in one of the seated goths. Not bad for having their dad or uncle on keyboards.
EDIT: ha! looks like those goths in the crowd had their own band.

I think that's the only Russian act from the 80s I was aware of. Hell, maybe even only one of two period. Isn't 'Pussy Riot' the name of that female punk band that rocked the boat a few years back?
