The anniversary concert promises a retrospective of their albums and singles, featuring appearances from special guests. Gaviļnieki promises, “This will be an evening that will feature the whole story of the band for ten years – both legendary and still unpaid songs.”
Energetic Garage Rock: The Nova Koma Sound
Founded in 2015,Nova Koma has become known for its blend of punk,blues,and funk influences,all while maintaining a strong melodic foundation. The band consists of four members: Mārtiņš Vilnītis, Jānis Kalvāns, Roberts Kochots, and Alice Golovacka.
Pink Fluids to Warm Up the Stage
The concert will feature an opening performance by Pink Fluids, a psychedelic rock project that started as a songwriting collaboration between Edgar Sondor (“Color”) and Jan Kalvan (“Nova Koma”). Pink Fluids has expanded into a seven-member group, including all members of Nova Koma and musicians from Coco’nuts and Red lung. Their debut album, “A Rapid One Before Gets You,” received a “Golden Microphone” nomination for best rock album, along with a live album and concert film titled “Gospel of the Mantis.”

Celebrating a Decade of Garage Rock: A Conversation with Nova Koma’s Mārtiņš Vilnītis
Latvian garage rock band Nova Koma is hitting a major milestone – 10 years of making music! To celebrate, they’re holding a special concert at Wagon Hall on March 29th. Archyde’s music correspondent, Elīza Berzina, sat down with Mārtiņš Vilnītis, Nova Koma’s frontman, to discuss thier journey, their sound, and what fans can expect from the anniversary show.
From Jānis’ Bedroom to Center Stage
Elīza: Mārtiņš,thanks for joining us! Ten years is a long time in the music world. Looking back, what are some of the biggest moments that stand out for Nova Koma?
Mārtiņš: Thanks for having me, Elīza. Honestly, it’s been a whirlwind! from those initial jam sessions in Jānis’ bedroom to playing at major Latvian festivals, it’s been an incredible ride.Getting nominations for the “Golden Microphone” awards was definitely a surreal moment. But I think the real highlight is simply connecting with our fans through our music.
Defining the Nova Koma Sound
Elīza: Nova Koma is known for its energetic garage rock sound,blending elements of punk,blues,and funk. How did you arrive at this unique sound, and how has it evolved over the years?
Mārtiņš: We all have pretty diverse musical tastes, and those influences naturally seeped into our songwriting. Jānis’ blues background, Roberts’ funk sensibilities, Alice’s punk spirit – it all comes together in a pretty chaotic but somehow cohesive way. As for evolution, we’re always experimenting and trying new things, but we always try to stay true to our core – raw energy and catchy melodies that will leave audiences chanting the tunes till the sunrise .
The 10th anniversary Concert: What to Expect
Elīza: Let’s talk about the anniversary concert. What can fans expect from this special show?
Mārtiņš: This concert is going to be a celebration of everything Nova Koma. We’ll be playing songs from all our albums and singles, including some that we haven’t played live in years. We’ll also have some special guests joining us on stage, which we’re really excited about. Plus, Pink Fluids, the psychedelic rock project featuring members of Nova Koma, Coco’nuts, and Red Lung, will be opening the show. They are really great live band!
Pink Fluids: Warming Up the Stage
Elīza: Speaking of Pink Fluids, they are opening the show. They’ve also received “Golden microphone” nominations. Can that be a bit intimidating?
Mārtiņš: Not at all! Pink Fluids will warm up the stage without a doubt. Actually, it is indeed quiet cool to have a such band on the stage with us!
Elīza: One last question. After a decade in the latvian garage rock scene, what is one thing that you never thought you expected?
Mārtiņš: To see so many people at our gigs. It doesn’t get boring and we hope to see even more!
Elīza: thanks and good luck!
Mārtiņš: Thanks!
