Hailing from Tbilisi, Georgia - Nash Albert releases a solo album entitled 'Rude Beggar' (produced by The Icicle Works' Ian McNabb) early next year.
Check out 'When I'm Not Around' taken from the album below.
Currently living in Moscow, Nash started playing music behind the iron curtain in the underground scene, influenced by smuggled-in rock & roll records. At his first opportunity he left the (then still) USSR and moved to America where he honed his musical skills playing in various bands whilst working menial jobs.
When Nash returned to Moscow in 1995 he found things had changed drastically. Music, art – the city was experiencing a cultural explosion. With the regulations of the past now lifted, Nash found it to be the perfect environment to play music and form a new band. Blast Unit Moscow released their final album ‘Krisis Of Genre’, produced and co-written by Youth (The Verve, Beth Orton), in 2013.
In early 2014 Nash took the decision to concentrate on his solo career. At a night hosted by Alan McGee in Liverpool he met Ian McNabb from 80s New Wave cult heroes The Icicle Works, leading to an invii from Ian to co-produce Nash's solo album.
Nash returns to the UK this month to support McNabb on his UK dates and play his first UK solo shows.
