Aleksey Kiskachi, a musician, singer and songwriter, is well known not only in his hometown, but also far beyond the Southern California scene where he regularly performs with his band or solo unplugged.

Aleksey's music fuses the gloom yet self-irony and raunchiness of blues, the drive and madcapping of rock-n-roll, the pure emotion of latin rhythms. His lyrics are deeply metaphorical and filled with wordplay and symbolism, yet follow the best traditions of Russian poetic heritage. His musical influences encompass a wide range of seemingly eclectic sources: from the early 20th century Russian chansonnier Alexander Vertinsky to legendary Russian rock bands Aquarium and Auktyon, from Paul Simon to Tom Waits. "Music for emotional men with a sense of rhythm. Lyrics for intelligent women with a sense of humor." (less info)
