Кукрыниксы
The russian post-punk band Кукрыниксы (Kukryniksy) was founded in 1997 by Aleksey Gorshenev, the ex-drummer of the horror punk band Король и Шут and the brother of their frontman Горшок (Gorshok). Kukry music gradually evolved from early pop punk to this day's post punk / goth rock. The band is well-known for their soundtrack to "The 9th Company" movie. The word "KuKryNiksy" is the name of a Soviet cartoon artist trio famous in 1940s-50s (Mikhail Kuprianov, Porfiry Krylov and Nikolay Sokolov).
This name was chosen for the band accidentally and temporarily, but has not been changed yet.
The Groove is music.nw’s own measure of renown — not an opinion, a fact computed from the record. It weighs reach (how many people engaged) against acclaim (how highly they rated it), balanced so a handful of votes can’t outshout a lasting favourite.
Computed the NeuraWeb way, across the whole record. The same yardstick for everyone — which is why the little-known can out-Groove the famous in their own corner.
How Кукрыниксы moved
Genre belongs to the record, not to the artist. Every album’s Groove is shared out across the genres it actually is — by how the raters tagged it — so nobody is 100% one thing. Stack that by decade and a career draws itself.
