Russian Blue is six people, a wall of synthesizers, and a room full of strangers dancing like they've known each other for years. The Seattle band makes synth-driven post-punk that owes as much to the dancefloor as it does to the stage, landing somewhere between LCD Soundsystem's restless pulse and the emotional sweep of Bleachers.

Their latest album A Modern Analogue, released January 2026 on Pegasus Theory, hit #5 on KEXP's Top 90 chart and is now in heavy rotation across the station. The album release show at Bremerton's historic Roxy Theater sold over 300 tickets.

In an era where most indie bands are trimming down, Russian Blue is doing the opposite. The live show is maximalist, built to make a room move and not let up until it's over.
