Assya Dolina a.k.a. The PianistTrepanga (Russian: Трепанга) is a Russian post-goth band based in Moscow. Known for its usage of texts by Western romantic poets, like
Heinrich Heine ,Emily Dickinson ,Emile Verhaeren orRobert Burns , Trepanga is a regular guest ofNashestvie , the largest Russian open-air rock festival.The band name means a female trepang, or
sea cucumber (adding an inflexional '-a' at the end of a word in Russian makes it feminine). It was chosen because on the day of forming of the band (11th December 2001) a huge drop of trepangs was registered on the Japanese island ofShikoku and, as a word, trepang sounds bouncy and is unfamiliar to most people.Some of Trepanga's members are more known to the audience as actors in various Moscow theaters.
