Im Alexei Bocharov is a composer and singer/songwriter (songs with lyrics in Russian), started to play the guitar in about 15 years old and cannot stop since that time:-). Im mainly the studio musician now.
Band History started perhaps from recording of the first album or from preparation for recording (i think it doesnt matter). That first album was made at the island of Sakhalin in 2000, called Nothing Can Be Simply In This World. The style of it is acoustic underground (sounds two guitars and vocal), therere songs (all in Russian) about alcohol&alcoholism, environment, depress... After recording of that album Alexei Bocharov moved to the city St.Petersburg and self-released another three albums - Prebereg (2004, the name is play of words approximate meening is coastal, littoral) therere more instrumental compositions then songs in experimental style; Lezvie-Britva (2005, translation is Blade-Razor) where there are old Alexeis songs in full band sound, includes 3 instumental songs; Black Moon (2007) is mainly instumental music album include only one lyric song Something Buzzing (Gde-to chto-to Zhuzhit). And in this year must be the next album, if everything goes right... :-)
Now i dont play live because i havnt got musicians to play live. I like live playing, and i certainly do this when find proper musicians.
