by Russian Mix
The most popular Russian Rock-Pop band ZVERI (ЗВЕРИ) "the Beasts" are finally
here, in New York City. These are the Beatles of modern Russia. The band represents the ultimate combination of rock,
pop and punk music. Their appearance is not just a concert, but an event of celebration of youthful, energetic sounds.
Prepare to witness numerous beautiful eastern European girls move their slender bodies to the beats and rhythms of Zveri.
The Beasts are the undisputed leaders by popularity and crowd gathering in not just Russia but far beyond its border onto other eastern European and central Asian countries. Electrical atmosphere of their concerts always does the job of making everyone present forget all about their worries and simply enjoy themselves together with the youthful multinational crowds.
Zveri burst onto the Russian music scene with their debut album Golod (Hunger), which received extremely positive reviews in the Russian music press "MTV Russia; Music-TV e.t.c.. The band was named after the group's lead singer and founder, whose last name literally means "the beast". Zveri was formed in mid-2002 by Roman Bilyk, better known as Roma Zver', the lead singer of the band. He was soon joined by Maksim Leonov on guitars, Kostya Labezkiy on the bass, Kirill Antonenko on keyboards and Misha Kraev on the drums and the group began work on their debut album Golod, released in February 2003. This album, considered by many as their best work, contained many of the songs eponymous with the group, such as Dozhdi-Pistolety (Rain-Guns), Dlya Tebya (For You) and Prosto Takaya Sil'naya Lyubov' (Simply such a strong love). This release cemented Zveri's popularity amongst the youth of Russia.
In March 2004, Zveri released their 2nd album to widespread hysteria, entitled Rayony-Kvartaly (Regions, districts). It sold hugely and was accompanied by a tour of the country to promote it. Vsyo, chto kasaetsya was released as a single from it and standout tracks include Yuzhnaya Noch' (Southern Night) and Napitki Pokrepche (stronger drinks). In 2005 the group released a remix album for songs from Golod and Rayony, Kvartaly. March 2006 saw the release of the group's 3rd album, Kogda my vmeste, nikto ne krutche (When we are together, no one is cooler), from which Do skoroi vstreche (till we meet soon) was released as a single.
The new, long awaited album will be released in April, 2008. New compositions from the new album will be played on May 9th in NY.
