Tõnu Trubetsky (born 24 April 1963), also known as Tony Blackplait, is an Estonian New Romantic/punk rock musician, film and music video director, and anarchist.
Tõnu Trubetsky was born in Tallinn, Estonian SSR as the oldest son of Jaan Trubetsky, who was of Polish and Ruthenian heritage and Leili Rikk. From 1975 to 1980, Tony’s father worked as a driver for the diplomatic mission of the Soviet Union, and Tony as a kid lived some times in London and New York. Trubetsky was awarded the Silver Mark award by the Committee of Physical Culture and Sports near the Soviet Ministries of the U. S. S. R. in 1981. After graduating from theatre class at Tallinn's 32nd Secondary School in 1982, he served in the Soviet Army.
Trubetsky's music is inspired by basic three-chord punk rock. Following his discharge from the military in 1984, Tõnu Trubetsky appeared in the Eastern European punk scene and formed the punk band Vennaskond, which as of 2006 is the oldest continually active rock band in Estonia.
