25 years on, the spirit of C86 is alive and well and is spreading among the Russian youth as well. Motorama is a five-piece from Rostov-on-Don, Russia that excels in '80s-influenced post-punk and twee-pop music. Last year they released their debut album "Alps", a record that made quite an impression to the Greek alternative crowd, resulting in their first ever visit to these parts for a brief tour that started in Athens and also included gigs in Patra and Thessaloniki. The photos and the video of "Lantern" that you can check out below are from their pleasurable Athens show with Victory Collapse at An Club last Monday - nostalgic indie-pop guitar fun '80s style with a brief foray into the '90s for a cover of The Flaming Lips' "Race For The Prize":
