Barabanda

Barabanda band recognizable to listeners of radio "Maximum" on a track "I am real", prepares a new album.Basically there is no "Russian rock" in the creations of this Russian rock band, but there is a real rock in music and Russian soul in lyrics. Sound of Barabanda has developed under influence of english-speaking classics of rock (The Beatles, Pink Floid, and also Red Hot Chili Peppers and Muse, etc.). Bright guitar reeves in songs of the band go along with an original melody and a lyrical telling at which, anyhow, there are a prologue, a history and an epilogue.They are romantics of household life of XXI century. Their songs are easy and funny, but cause more likely a sad smile. The share of humor, satire and skepticism allows them to speak not banal about those simple and really important things which daily surround us. "To be real" – here is a single principle of their existence.Barabanda band has been founded on June, 1st, 2001. This day Aleksey Ioffe and Sergey Chekmenev have arrived to Moscow from the small town Angarsk of Irkutsk area. Aleksey - the musician and the tattooer, imaginative person and the eternal inventor of a wheel, has left his tatoo-studio and successful band "Heartburn" in native town. The impulse was sudden and there was no place to go in the capital city, but it would be desirable to be brave and strong. Got support of good friend Sergey, Aleksey has started realization of new dream.Today's regular staff of the band also includes bass-guitarist Ilya Sivov (professional illustrator, the author of a cover of an album "Mudala") and Anton Lenkov - the drummer of Barabanda and "God blessed musician". Except for the basic tool, he masterful plays a guitar, an accordion and a piano.But we shall return to the history. In 2002 a song of Barabanda "No problem!" has entered into a soundtrack to A.Proshkina's film "Spartak and Kalashnikov" ("Mosfilm", a film of the "Circle" studio). In June, 2005 the band has released the debut album "Mudala". The clip stylized under mute cinema has been maked on a header song of the album. This clip has received a special prize from Internet-portal Zvuki.ru at the competition of "Video Musician - Rambler Vision 2005". Within 2006 Barabanda played concerts in clubs and on numerous festivals. In September it has started record of new songs.Record of the second album was made at studio "23" of the band "Neschastniy Sluchay" in Moscow. The leader-guitarist of "Neschastniy Sluchay" Dmitry Mitja Chuvelev has taken a part in record of tracks as the keyboard player. Record was done in unusual way. Musicians were recording together, instead of separately as it is accepted in modern studio record. Owing to this reception the material has got rather alive sounding. The release of the album "The real" and the presentation concert in Moscow club "Ikra" are planned for December, 19. The album will release the indie label "TAU Pablishing".The first single "I am real" from the new album did not leave "The Charts of two capitals" on radio "Maximum" during 13 weeks. For this time the song repeatedly reached up to the 2 place.
