If you've ever wanted to see a rock spectacle, look no further than Moscow's Mumiy Troll. The band has a career spanning more than a decade and will forever be part of history as their music video was the first ever to play on MTV Russia. The band has performed at the Casbah before and are definitely entertainers, with dramatic performances fit for the arenas back home, but they're not a novelty act, and I think you might discover halfway through the set that you've been wearing an ear-to-ear grin at the sheer awesomeness of the show. LA's Run Run Run open the night.
