The "steppe wolf" returns

On June 13, in the Central House of the Artist in Moscow, after a two -year break, a presentation of the independent musical prize “The Steppe Wolf” will be held.

The Stepnoy Wolf prize was established in 2008 as part of the Moscow International Open Book Festival by musical critic Artemy Troitsky “as the most unbiased, non -angidized, whose winners receive well -deserved recognition due to the quality of music and creativity, and not the degree of promotion and obscurity”.

Over the years, Zemfira, Dolphin, Yuri Shevchuk, Sergey Shnurov, Noize MC , Megapolis, Lyapis Trubetskoy, Mumiy Troll and many others performed on the Steppe Wolf. The winners of the “steppe wolf” were determined by the results of an expert survey, famous musical figures in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

This year, the prize will be awarded at the end of the past season in 20 nominations: “Book”, “Video”, “Album”, “Debut”, “Song”, “Design”, “Words”, “Music”, “Catalyst”, “Voice”, “Concert”, “something”, “place”, “Media”, “Our all (legend)”, “Start-AP”, “PART-AP”, “Start-AP”, “Start-AP”, “Start-AP”, “Start-AP”, “Start-AP”, “Start-AP”, “Start-Ap” “Source of sound” and “nugget”.

“For two years that have passed since the last ceremony , the musical world has undergone distinct changes-primarily in the field of Internet services. - says Artemy Troitsky. -This evolution was reflected in the new nominations "Start-AP", "Public" and "Source Source". The Russian local and regional scene became much more actively, and this joyful fact also influenced the prize - the nomination "Sugan", aimed at identifying talented artists from the province; Here, the "Steppe Wolf" is actively promoted by the network of musical pubs Harat’s . In addition, the ranks of the Expert Council were significantly replenished (from 20 to 30 participants) - mainly due to popular music bloggers. ”

Short lists of the Steppe Wolf prize nominees in 2013 will be compiled and declared at the end of April.

The awarding ceremony of the Stepnaya Wolf prize laureates in 2014 will be held with the support of the federal network of Harat's Irish Pube
