Gorchitza live!
Founded in 2007, this band has been going strong with their performances, gratifying fans and creating good music. Performing exclusively in English, Gorchitza was often mistaken for a foreign band. Delivering electronic music and dance rock to audiences at a variety of festivals, this band was recognized by major artists like Nelly Furtado, Faithless, Morcheeba, Jay-Jay Johanson, Montefiori Cocktail and many others. In 2007, Gorchitza Project won the prestigious Nightlife Award as the Best Vocal Club Project. The group also represented Ukraine at the Popkomm (Berlin) and Reeperbahn (Hamburg) festivals in Germany.
