THE HATTERS appeared on the musical stage in 2016, but broke the stage from the very beginning! The band was established in the cultural capital of Russia - St. Petersburg. All the future band members gathered in the same city at the same time, coming from many different parts of the vast country.
What makes The Hatters different from all the other bands? The band is playing without a guitar! Drums, bass-balalaika, trombone, violin and accordion. Do you want to hear something else? THE HATTERS spice up the concept of percussion by using not only a standard set like triangle or tambourine. Scotch? Kids toys? Chains? Washboard? You will discover all this sounds in THE HATTERS songs.
One may wonder why there is so much trash and craziness? The whole answer is hidden in the fact the band members are simple Russian guys! Russian style - this is what gave birth to THE HATTERS, this is what they began to do on stage from the very beginning and continue to do at their every show. RUSSIAN STYLE is the band’s heart!
You can use a lot of clichés, find similarities with other bands, search for influences to describe THE HATTERS style, but this unique collection of instruments, variety of the performances, interactions with the audience which can be heard in all songs and seen live on THE HATTERS show will not leave you disappointed. It will definitely become clear to you why THE HATTERS call the style in which they perform «Alco-hardcore played on your mental strings.” You will love it!
