Quick & Dirty: Pompeya Bassist Denis Agafonov Discusses His Pillow, Hot Sauce, and Nina Simone
Hailing from Moscow, Russia, Pompeya is an indie rock band that blends elements of ’70s disco, ’80s New Wave, and ’90s rock resulting in their own poppy concoction. The group quickly developed quite the following in their hometown and now, with the release of their latest EP, Night, the band are set to make a mark on North American soil. Los Angeles radio station KCRW recently noted that the band is, “energetically introducing Moscow’s youth to electronic indie culture,” the Pompeya’s name is spreading. We had some fun and asked bassist Denis Agafonov some quick and witty questions.
