"Rudiger works as a clerk in the town..." using Knopfler lyrics you can say something like that about me too. But don't be in a hurry!
Fortunately many years ago my parents presented me one tape. They thought it was unknown female-singer Irona Malden. But it was just Iron Maiden. :)))) Few years of listening Iron Maiden yielded the harvest - after I had graduated from the University I met at my first job one guy, who had listened something the same. He began to give me some tapes. Music was really interesting and funny.
That period I haven't enough money to buy tickets to the shows so once I had to make stage for moscow show of Manowar to see it. After the gig I wrote small article and sent it to one music edition...
Just since that time you can find out my stupid articles and interviews with guys and girls who can really play good music in some music magazines and see my stupidly smiling face at all moscow shows and some europian rock festivals and gigs.
I thank lucky stars to have an opportunity to meet, associate with and be friends with great number of so talented and cheerful people.
At the moment I write for ALIVE Magazine (4 issues per year, dedicated to metal music), and FUZZ Magazine (monthly magazine, dedicated to all sorts of rock music) and some other editions and web-sites I don't want to talk about. :)
Also I always try to help to my friends from moscow promotion agencies such as ALIVE CONCERTS , DELTA MEKONG CONCERTS and SPIKA MERCHANDISING . But all my help usually is just stupid press-kits for future concerts and conversations with artists to make them smiling and happy or drinking beer and whiskey... :)
