MAD HEADS XL PERFOMANCE WAS BANNED ON TV IN DONETSK. On 7 July Donetsk region finnished the celebretion of it's 75th anniversary with a big concert on a central square of Donetsk. The show was dominated by Russian performers, there were a few ukrainian singers as well, but only those who sing in Russian language. So it was somewhat strange to see MAD HEADS XL among the others, but when the band sang their songs in Ukrainian the people on the square definitely were not upset. Donetsk inhabitants were glad to greet the musicians and were singing along the words of "Nadiya yea" song, then they meet the powerfull version of the folk song "Dubky" with the cheerful ovation. Meanwhile, local TV channel "Ukraina" was broadcasting the concert with a short delay in time, and perfomance of MAD HEADS XL mysteriously disappeared from the TV version. It looks like the local authorities have a hard case of ukrainophobia hysteria. We already met such attitude before. For instance, we've been hinted that we might be invited to perform on town's celebrations if we prepare the set of songs... in Russian language. The band is very sorry of such state of things, we have a lot of fans in Donbass and we would like to come and play concerts for them much more often.
