BANGKOK — Along the way from Moscow to Bali two Soviet-era Volgas, six Russian men will interrupt their 24,000-kilometer road trip to play gigs in in Bangkok and Hua Hin.

Planning to arrive in December, alternative rock band Expedition Voskhod will perform live shows at two local venues in two provinces.

Apart from music, the six members — a sound engineer, cameraman, graphic designer and three musicians — are shooting a documentary on local independent music wherever they go.
