When did the absurd become ordinary?
The unimaginable becomes everyday. Chaos becomes routine. We smile, carry on, and tell ourselves we’re Catastrophically Fine.
Common Nonsense is a musical journey through the strange world we all share — sometimes rebellious, sometimes reflective, sometimes wildly celebratory. Expect songs that will make you laugh, dance, sing along, pause for thought and leave with a little more hope than you arrived with.

Drawing from folk traditions, alternative rock and contemporary songwriting, VGmates weave together English and Russian lyrics with an eclectic palette of sounds — from soaring Irish whistles and hypnotic electro
nic textures to intimate acoustic moments and powerful full-band arrangements.
Like the cogs of a steampunk machine, every instrument and every voice has its place. Individually unexpected, together they create something uniquely alive.
Join us for an evening where the only thing that makes perfect sense is the music.
