EASTERN EUROPEAN SCENE: INDEPENDENT/GOTHIC/INDUSTRIAL Indie / gothic scene in Eastern Europe is developing quickly and tremendously because it has not yet been developed in 1990-ties and its apogee is only to come in this decade. Number of independent / gothic / industrial concerts, parties and festivals in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and other countries grow. The only hamstering factor is absence of well-developed info- and promo-infrastructure. GOTHIC.COM.UA has created its own promotion network and is active now in 2 main directions: 1) promotion of international bands, labels, journals and events in Ukraine and Eastern Europe 2) promotion of Ukrainian gothic scene and bands in Europe and world. Information in detail about these 2 directions of promotion follows below.
