about
STandART is a synthfolk / darkwave band formed by Kalvis Kluburs in 2002 in Jelgava, Latvia. The band has released 3 albums and many maxi-singles. STandART have played concerts in the Baltic States, Finland, Sweden and Poland, including being the support act for such bands as Camouflage and De/Vision. The band's first album Australia was nominated for the Best Debut 2007 at Latvian Music Awards and won recognition of DJs and music magazines, who underline that, although STandART’s musical direction is clear, the band manages to create a unique sound. In November 2009, STandART released its 2nd studio album Autumn News. Just like "Australia", Autumn News was also produced in collaboration with Kaspars Tobis from the Latvian band Dzelzs Vilks in Sigulda, Latvia. Two songs – Pioneers and Autumn News – were a result of collaboration with Polish musician Hien. In summer 2010, the band recorded the song Bez Miega Zirgi (Gas of Latvia Mix) for the compilation of Latvian independent artists "Strāvoklis". The song was produced in collaboration with Gas of Latvia and Sandris Savickis (Starring Two). In October 2010, STandART performed together with the Latvian singer-songwriter Goran Gora at the festvial "Bildes 2010". One of the songs, a new version of "Autumn News", was later re-released as a single - Autumn News (feat. Goran Gora). In 2013, Kalvis and Mārtiņš started recording STandART’s 3rd album as a duo - this time in Jūrmala with Sandris Savickis (Starring Two). In ea
