The young group set a course for high-quality European rock, inspired by the grunge style. The debut album “Vairāk nekā skaļi” was released in 1993. It did not bring much success; in fact, only one song became popular - “Ziema” (“Winter”). At this time, creativity is only a hobby for musicians: everyone had a job that allowed them to survive. Renars worked in radio, Janis and Maris worked in the judiciary, Kaspars worked as a cameraman. But free time dedicated to the dream - wrote songs, rehearsed, without losing faith in themselves.
The guys released their second album “Veronica” in 1996. This included the hits “Dārznieks” (“Gardener”), “Apelsīns” (“Orange”) and, of course, “Planes”.
After Eurovision, the guys from Brainstorm became stars. The performance of talented Latvians was noted by The Times, Melody Maker and Smash Hits. The guys had to change their names to those that are more familiar to foreign audiences: Renars became Reynard, Maris became Mike, Janis became Johnny, Kaspars became Nick, and Gundars became Peter.
The guys from Latvia began conquering the Russian audience in 2009 by releasing a new album “Step”, which included 6 songs in Russian.
Now in Russia almost every music lover knows the group “Brainstorm”.

The composition of the Sverdlovsk team was constantly changing, among last participants, in addition to the frontman - I. Kormiltsev (lyricist, died in 2007), drummer A. Potapkin, bassist G. Kopylov, guitarist N. Petrov and keyboard player A. Mogilevsky. The team itself broke up and reunited several times. One thing remained unchanged: an invaluable contribution to the culture of Russian rock. Their discography includes twelve long plays, six live albums, four collections, three dedication albums, five joint work with other musicians. Their songs were heard in both parts of the legendary “Brother”, the film “Hipsters”, “Mirror for a Hero” and others.

Or 1982, when the debut album was recorded. In general, it was during that period that Picnic appeared, which listeners loved so much. Their lyrics and music attract romantic music lovers: it’s all about poems imbued with ironic philosophy and magical motifs.

Sergei always wanted to be a musician, so he became a vocalist and frontman, a kind of face of the new band - he received all the attention. Alexey never wanted to devote his life to creativity, but everything changed when he started working as a DJ. In the joint brainchild of the guys, he played the role of keyboard player. Just a year later, they escaped from Tolyatti, which was cramped for them, and conquered the capital, and also suddenly met Andrei Malikov, who turned into their first producer. At the same time, the name appeared. Soon the debut album was released, which achieved resounding success. Until 2006, they released twelve studio works. They decided to create solo projects, so “Hands Up” broke up. Now only Zhukov performs under this name, who presented a fresh long-play in 2012. The group has seven Golden Gramophones, RU.TV, MUZ-TV and a large number of other prestigious awards.
Vocalist and founder Sergei Chigrakov loved music since childhood: he went to music school, then entered college. Then he participated in several groups, the largest of which were “Extended Day Group” and “Different People”. Soon he decided to go solo: after presenting the album, he took his friends with him on tour. The concerts were very successful - this is how Chizh and Co appeared. In 1994, the guys released their debut release. The lineup now includes, in addition to the frontman, A. Romanyuk as a bassist, M. Rusin as a guitarist, E. Barinov as an accordionist and percussionist, D. Vasilevsky on drums, as well as D. Chigrakova and M. Shalageva on backing vocals.

((togglerText))The name LYUBE appeared from the vocalist’s native city of Lyubertsy, near Moscow, and the Ukrainian term “Lyube”, which translates as “everyone” - this denoted a mixture of genres. The first tour took place in 1989 with empty halls, since no one knew about them yet. But the situation soon improved - they instantly became famous after performing at Alla Pugacheva’s “Christmas Meetings”. By the way, it was she who came up with the singer’s stage image.

((togglerText)) Future National artist Russia was born into the family of the head of the VIA "Gems" and a ballet soloist. But he did not strive for music - when a teacher came to the apartment to teach him, the boy ran away. Later, the guy mastered the piano so well that he was absolutely fluent in it. Already at fourteen he wrote his first song. After the eighth grade, the young man went to school and played keyboards in his father’s band. Soon he made his debut on television, topped the charts, participated in the “New Year's Light” and received the title “Discovery of the Year.” After graduating from college, he entered the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, became a guest at the Polish festival and collected the “Olympic”.

CONCERTS AT CROCUS CITY HALL IN THE SECTION POSTER OF OTHER CONCERTS
Despite the fact that there are many reputable and famous concert venues in Moscow, Crocus City Hall has long been considered the embodiment of an ideal concert venue. And this is not an exaggeration.
Today, CROCUS CITY HALL is the most popular venue for large-scale concerts. Spacious and comfortable hall, first-class sound and lighting equipment, modern design - all this makes concerts at Crocus City Hall truly grandiose.
The CROCUS CITY HALL concert hall is part of the Crocus Expo IEC. This is a two-level concert hall, which, without exaggeration, can be called unique. Everything here is thought out to the smallest detail - from the shape and decoration of the hall to the arrangement of equipment.
Let's start with the hall. It is designed for 6171 people. Auditorium can transform - this is one of the unique features Crocus City Hall. So, if necessary, Big hall turns into a small hall for 2200 seats - by separating the balcony with a special curtain. What remains is the stalls and the amphitheater.
The small hall is used for conferences, presentations, and so on. The second transformation option is to remove the first 12 rows of the stalls. Thus, a substantial space is freed up for the dance floor, fan zone, and so on.
The orchestra pit is also subject to transformation, and it can be changed in three ways: the usual state (to accommodate the orchestra), raising to the level of the stalls (increasing the visual area) and raising to the level of the stage (increasing the stage area).
Decoration and shape of the hall. The shape of the hall is a classic amphitheater. When designing the hall, the features of large concert venues of a similar shape, for example, in Mexico City and Las Vegas, were taken into account. The ceiling of Crocus City Hall has an original wave-like shape. This is not only decoration, but also improvement of the acoustic qualities of the hall. In addition, LEDs are built into the ceiling, making it easy to change the color scheme of the room.
The ceiling, floor, and walls of CROCUS CITY HALL are decorated with modern materials that have good sound-absorbing properties.
But the main thing in Crocus City Hall is the equipment. Especially the sound one. In fact, the engineers had to work hard to properly place all the speaker systems. The most difficult thing is the distribution of low-frequency loudspeakers, because it is the bass that determines the sound quality and the “fullness” of the music, but it also spoils everything if the loudspeakers are placed incorrectly.
The solution was simple and complex at the same time - suspension of low-frequency loudspeakers. Therefore, in CROCUS CITY HALL, the bass is evenly distributed throughout the hall, so the sound of any music here is clear, no matter how it is performed. And low frequencies are perceived comfortably, no matter where you sit.
This concert hall is equipped with Meyer Sound sound equipment. Sound control was entrusted to the MIDAS XL8 and MIDAS PRO6 mixing consoles. Those who are close to the world of music and show business will appreciate this choice. Those who don’t understand this will simply appreciate the sound quality at each of the concerts at Crocus City Hall.
The selection of lighting equipment was no less careful. Scanners, stroboscopes, smoke generators, spotlights, spotlights with a moving body, a modern control panel - all this allows you to create a real extravaganza of color and light. But it’s better to see once than to hear a hundred times, so just attend the concerts at Crocus City Hall.
What more can be said about this concert hall? You can say a lot, list the advantages not only of the concert hall, but also of the foyer, bars, parking lots... Buy tickets to Crocus City Hall and you will see everything for yourself.
