Photos: John B @ Pirate Club, Niznhy Novgorod, 09.05.09

So I finally got all the photos together, gathered (with the kind help of my Russian fans and friends on vKontakte.ru) from lots of gallery websites, all Russian ones I find impossible to translate

As you can see it was an amazing show, ROASTING in there, so much so they got me 2 huge fans which worked a treat – except they blew my CDs about Had no time to hang around afterwards either, there’s only one flight a day out of Nizhny Novgorod on a decent airline (i.e not a scarey Russian one!) at about 5 am – so I had to literally jet right out of there as soon as my set was done – straight to the airport, with all my makeup on and rave-dirt etc! Got a few funnny looks at Passport control but managed to totally sort myself out and get changed in the wierd little airport bathroom before the flight took off. I think I was only on the ground for about 4 hours from the point of landing in Russia to taking off again – that’s a proper rave-commute

Anyway – here’s some of the photos below, and as always you can see the whole gallery on my flickr gallery, facebook AND myspace (yes I spend a lot of time uploading stuff!)

HD Video: John B @ Pirate Station St. Petersburg 31.01.09

720p HD Tour video of John B’s biggest gig ever to 25,000+ ravers at the SKK arena in St. Petersburg for the Pirate Station ‘Immortal’ Event.

Loads of live footage from his set in the main arena, then the VIP Deluxe arena for his 2nd set. Crazy performances from acrobats and performance artists & sexydancers on-stage. And some bonus footage from the artists’ area backstage, and pretty scary video of stilt walkers falling over! (We hope they’re ok!)

Much love to all the Russian fans, all the organisers & crew that made the event as amazing and memorable as it was!

To be followed by another video of all the random backstage drunken banter

Photos: John B @ Pirate Station Moscow 21.02.09

Post taken from the official John B Blog:

Think I’ve just about managed to round up all the photos that could be found in the internet from this event

Last Saturday I played in Moscow, for the Pirate Station guys again, HUGE party in a big Expo Hall in the middle of Moscow. Someone told me it was the biggest Expo complex in Europe. I believe them! Hungary was the day before, and I went straight form the gig to the airport in Budapest, didn’t get to sleep till about 3pm when I made it to the hotel in Moscow. Woke up to the surreal rumble of the sound system warming up (hotel was in the same complex) and the first of many super-theatrical intros they do, really got me tingling! I’d watched Hellboy 2 earlier in the week, with the ‘Golden Army’ and man, it sounded like there were a gazillion golden army robo-goblins waking up and crashing about. Too much for my jetlagged & frazzled brain! Heheh!

So yeah, an amazing gig, I got to the stage nice and early so I could hang out with the other DJs and hear what was being played, and just take in the vibes – really good time. So yeah, thanks to all the organizers & to all my Russian fans that stayed right till the end to see me play at 5am! It really was special

You’ll already know this if you are a subscriber to my fabulous podcast (!) but they broadcast my set live, and I managed to get a recording and its now available FREE as a lovely podcast! CLICK HERE for more info.

Oh, and add me on vkontakte.ru here!!

Photos: John B in Rostov, Russia 5.12.08

Thanks to the photographers that sent in their pics for this (email us with your credits and we can link it in!).

John played another mighty set in Russia, the day before the Tver gig, back in December 2008. Rostov is a couple of hours flight south of Moscow and apparently the capital of gangsterism in Russia or something (that’s what they told us anyway!). Great gig as usual – thanks to the organisers & special thanks to all the ravers that came and danced their nuts off!

Photos: John B @ Sunrise Club, Tver, Russia (Nov 2008)

Some photos from the John B gig in Tver, which is about a 3 hour drive North-West from Moscow (you get to drive past Tschaikovsky’s house on the way. And a million McDonalds’ (!).

Thanks to the photographers from geometria.ru & the others on the night that let us repost the pics here.

You can view the whole photo set on John B’s flickr page here.

Also big shout out to the organisers Rita & Alex and VLADIMIRRR and his mighty Italo Disco collection!
