Having played the country many times in their career they hold their fans there in a special place in their hearts. The band are constantly talking about the war and the events taking place there on their social media, and lead singer Martyn Jacques has consistently spoken up for Ukraine to the band’s many fans. This new album, UKRAINE, was released on 21 July, with all proceeds going to support Ukrainians. The band’s singer and songwriter, Martyn Jacques, says “Over the last year or more, I have been very active about Ukraine on my Facebook page. I have made paintings and written poems and songs. This is a collection of those songs. The feelings of anger, frustration I have felt. Some of the songs are about people who support Russia. For political, economic, patriotic reasons. Some of the songs are about the arrogant, evil and corrupt Putin himself. Some of the songs are about the suffering of Ukrainian people in this horrible war. I feel such sympathy and sadness for the ordinary people who pay with their own lives or the lives of loved ones for the arrogant tsar gangster in the Kremlin.” This album was designed by the Ukrainian animation artist Mykyta Lyskov, who lives in Dnipro. Mykyta says “It is very important that such a legendary group as The Tiger Lillies supports Ukraine in the struggle for independence against Russian aggression. In the design of the album I used my drawing, which I drew while shelling was under way in my home town Dnipro. We are being killed in our own country, we need European support, we need weapons, we need fighter jets!”
