Bigoudi

BIGOUDI (Moscow, RUS) is a long-running project revolving around Max Sergeev - artist/producer/dj. Prior to BIGOUDIMax played electronics in a noise/ambient project MEMBRANA/MEMBRANOIDS. After releasing several "hard-listening"records in Russia and U.S. Max departed to start a new electronic project - that's how BIGOUDI was born in 2001.Initially being a three-piece band BIGOUDI enjoyed some freaky big beat/lounge esthetics. The band's energeticperformances and peculiar style led to BIGOUDI's first official release on Moscow indie label EXOTICA ("Moscow believed intears", 2002). It was at that time when BIGOUDI met Eugene Grishkovets (EG) - actor/playwright/performer who hadbeen a huge success in Russia in recent years. Teamed with EG and signed to a Russian major the band releases "NOW"- a critically acclaimed album of spoken word and soulful electronica.This unusual combination made the project apopular choice amongst Moscow venues since then. Following the success of the second album recorded with EG -"Sing", Max recorded a solo effort of his best instrumental tracks ("Differently", 2006, Snegiri label). Thisrelease earned BIGOUDI some extra attention from theatre/film producers resulting in several offers to writesoundtracks which Max accepted. In February 2007 Max produced the third record with EG called "A second" whichproved to be the most successful record coming out of this collaboration to date. In May 2007 the band opened forPlacebo in front of some 15000 crowd of MAXIDROM Festival in Saint-Petersburg. At present Max is working with a team of academy-trained professionals on his next project which would includecollaborations with some outstanding singers/songwriters found on MySpace.
