Tõnu Trubetsky (born 24 April 1963), also known as Tony Blackplait, is an Estonian punk rock/glam punk musician, film and music video director, and individualist anarchist.
Tõnu Trubetsky was born in Tallinn, Estonia as the oldest son of Jaan Trubetsky, who was of Polish and Ruthenian heritage (See Trubetskoy family) and Leili Rikk, an Estonian. 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.
In addition to being the lead singer for Vennaskond, he has been the lead singer for several other punk bands, including Felis Ultramarinus in 1986, Vürst Trubetsky & J.M.K.E. from 1986 to 2009, The Un Concern in 1988, and The Flowers of Romance (not to be confused with the original English Flowers of Romance) since 1999. He was a guitarist for Operatsioon Õ in 1995.
