Svetlana

There are at least two bands with this name: A Swedish drone rock band and a shoegaze band from Indianapolis, Indiana. 1. US band: Svetlana is a shoegaze band from Indianapolis, IN that writes music under the influence of such groups as My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Swervedriver, and Pacific U.V. 2. Swedish band: The name of the band would suggest that we're dealing with a Russian gothic metal/rock outfit, but that's hardly the case. In reality the band is from Sweden and plays low, rumbling drone.
