Katya is a leader of the Ukrainian underground indie duo Gapochka. The band went through a number of powerful and drastic transformations, including playing at the Global Battles of The Bands in London, before arriving at its current duo format in 2017. Today the band comprises Katya Gapochka and Yevhen Yakshyn. “Gapochka” played both electric and acoustic concerts in the peacetime, with Katya’s strong voice equally fitting both formats. The band recently supported Belgium indie-rock stars Balthazar in Kyiv and released their most recent album – the first as a duo – called “Neobkhidna” (“Necessary”) in 2019.
In summer 2022 the band had its first European tour in support of Ukraine. Also a tour all over Czech Republic with a popular local band Lucia. Full of lyrics and old-school and post-punk motives, the indie rock duo plays a melting pot of music genres. Since their first release, Katya and Yevhen have shown themselves as a powerful union of daring guitar and exceptional vocals.
