"Luba": In Kiev, we were presented with a real gun

Fans of group vacation today. 14th January 1989 saw Nicholas Rastorguev and his team was the first song "Lyubertsy" and "Makhno" and famous for decades. "Lube" - a group of real, some say. Without decorations, loud slogans and appeals, a warm lyricism and love of country. ". Bath, vodka, accordion and Salmon": "All of them to easily navigate Maybe that's why they love and all kinds of people - and the status and taste. Before the anniversary, we spoke with the group's leader, Nikolai Rastorguev. - Nicholas, it is true that when the band appeared, turned out soon Lyuberetskaya image punks? - There is a legend that came after the song about Lyubertsy - says the singer "KP". - I even lived at the time of the group in Lyubertsy. But in fact, "Lube" - "everyone is different, either." This is from the Ukrainian word I honestly decade uniforms and "went to the people." - How long were you in the tunic. What has the same one-step change in picture? - I have to be honest 10 years in uniform and "went to the people." Felt just once: you have to change something. I guess I was singing too long in uniform, and we began to perceive solely as a patriotic group, although the repertoire of "Lube" is much more diverse. - And you still call the only patriotic group ... - To say the least, the question of patriotism fed me a few. In Russian history, a lot of good examples of patriotism, courage, self-sacrifice. It should be made on the best examples of film, literature and art. Also we can be our contribution - in the songs that are a part of, is how we deal with our country. Love your city, family and loved ones, as you know how. This is patriotism. - It seems that some of your songs have something personal experiences as a child. Or is it only seems to be. "The station Taganskaya", for example, is very similar to the autobiographical ... - Lyricist of the song - the poet Sasha Shaganov, and the question of autobiographical - it's him. But I can say that many of the songs are really close to me, they are the images. For example, in "Streetcar fives" that once really existed, then this route is removed, and memories, and documented in the song. Therefore, I think, a lot of people listening to our songs appear association or images from the past. - And no one: for a group of "Lube" and believe that their military and police officers, sailors, laborers, drivers ... What once you pass the title or a gift from the fans particularly expensive? - Different gifts are presented. Yes, the group is often associated with the army, so give presents relevant topics - sabers, swords. And one day in Kiev gave ... Machine gun. The concert came to an end, as between songs on stage, and with words of gratitude rolled a machine gun - "max." They helped us a real and over the border to smuggle a gift somehow, now anyone in the country, in the attic. - What else is going to please the fans? All the more, and won what - 20 years group. - We are concerts at the State Kremlin Palace on 22 and 23 February, to mark the male holiday. A new album, "Lube", which can be called "Friends." - I can not help asking: How are you? - Thank you, all right.
