PARTiYA band was formed in Minsk (Belarus) in September 2000. We are playing crust-punk: sometimes in pretty up-tempo, sometimes in mid-tempo or something of that kind. Originally and till today there are 3 members in the band. Several bassists changed in time of its existence and at the beginning of 2006 we also changed the drummer (Bobai). He played with us quite a lot of time. Some of bassists were playing for a long time (year, year and a half), some one rehearsal / show.
In 2004 after "Easter" concert we got much problems which nobody could foresee... but it had happened. We had not played for some time...In the summer of 2005 PARTiYA began to play again with previous line-up but with new bassist Babushka. We took part in some concerts in Minsk. And... we decided not to count statistic of changes in band's line-up: who and when played, why he left the band and so on... Who is interested in this info? If someone wants to know you can ask me by email or, for example, on meeting. In any case many thanks to all who played with us!
And now let's jump in 2007 (cool that we can do it). At the beginning of this year we made a record with title «CHILDHOOD» with line-up: Duser - bass, Mysh - guitar and vocal, Lyosha «Majonez» - drums. Then we went to Germany on a tour which finished with a concert in Minsk.
Today PARTiYA is
Mysh - guitar | vocal
Eltsyn - bass
Majonez - drums
About records (what is usually called discography):
• "A/Ya" (we don't distribute it now from our personal considerations).
• "Garage-Concert" – demo record.
• test record which includes 4 tracks. There we experimented with sound. The result wasn't very good. So these songs were not included anywhere.
• "Punk is My Life!" - record of 2003.
• "CHILDHOOD" - record which was made at the beginning of 2007.
In 2007-2008 we had three tours and played in Poland, Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Belgium, Holland... we visited squat “EKH†in Austria. Besides tours we played in Belarussian cities and one time in St. Petersburg.
Briefly and unconstrainedly about nearest plans of PARTiYA: in october-november we are going to make a record for split with TROTZREAKTION band from Dresden (Germany). It's planned to issue this split on vinyl in Germany. We will also be glad to play on D.I.Y.-concerts... fests. In order to visit your city we need the following:
- money for the road! (petrol or tickets)
- sleeping places
- if possible then food and drinks (but it is not the most important)
We will talk about the rest if you write us. We will be glad to contact you!
