“Otorvemsya Po-Piterski” (Оторвемся По Питерски) is an intoxicating jazz cocktail by “Billy’s Band”, a 2005 anthem of St. Petersburg’s nights, now reborn on a 180-gram black vinyl LP by Maschina Records (Estonia). This album is like a walk through rainy St. Petersburg: romantic, slightly tipsy, and full of stories. Tracks like Where Your Heart Sleeps and “Otorvemsya Po-Piterski” blend jazz, blues, and cabaret with Billy Novik’s raspy vocals, evoking the vibe of an old bar where songs of love and life unfold. Maschina Records’ remastering highlights the warmth of the double bass and the charm of the saxophone. The limited-edition black vinyl is a ticket to a world where St. Petersburg comes alive in every note.
Billy’s Band, formed in 2001 in St. Petersburg by the charismatic Billy Novik, is a cult act whose raspy voice and eclectic sound made them local legends. Blending jazz, blues, and cabaret, they created a style they call “alco-jazz”—soulful music steeped in romance and gentle melancholy. Their concerts are theatrical, with each song telling a story, transforming the stage into a bar on Nevsky Prospect. Billy’s Band embody the soul of St. Petersburg, where rain, love, and music merge. Maschina Records brings their energy back on vinyl, letting the world feel the magic of St. Petersburg.
