10th February at DS Luzhniki held a solo concert, the 15th to the Anniversary dedicated to "King and the Clown." Is 15th Birthday party from the first concert of the band include, but after a meeting with the Prince of Pot, and in 1987 was as much as 20 years. - A group of "King and the Clown" all perceived as something instantaneous, on the principle that should fast punk rock live and die quickly - says Creative Director of "Nashe Radio" Andrew Klyukin. - We have the Western models, and it looked for children. Kiss produces toys, for example. Vivid image, that's understandable, and young and old, the only Kish. - You are in the form of toys we imagine? I'm against it! - Opposition pot. - I'm for it! - Replied the prince. The "King and the Clown" at a press conference this dialogue takes place in the press office of kontserentsii "Nashe Radio", which is dedicated to the upcoming concert in Luzhniki. Therefore, the conversation turned on joint projects and groups with your favorite rock radio station. Andrew Kish Klyukin presented as a toy - there are projects out of love, not a business - explains Klyukin. - Projects that are born to. One day before the new year, we met with the musicians, and I thought - cool, tell some scary stories. We sat recorded history. And suddenly realized that it is very stupid to make one if you can make a lot of horror stories in the power of the king and the clown. And we begin to write - Tales Afansevyh something of Russian folklore and old audio engineers who recorded more records of the Soviet years. - I have to say that Ivan Tsarevich we eliminated when he came to us, - says pot. - Such tales are not accepted. Him and so many. That's the name of the "devil and his grandmother" loved the name, although I do not know what it is. For some reason, everyone thinks that we write stories for children, they insulted us. - We went to Bremen (Germany) for a humorous song "Rum" Congratulations to all our fans a happy new year - says Knyazev. - There was no concept, just fun. In Germany, we have not found a fool, and the abbot, which is very sad. Therefore removed the king and queen. Next Clip seriously went to shoot, with a plot and budget. Of course, the musicians talked about the upcoming concert. - At a concert in Luzhniki we do not play all the songs from the new album, for this purpose, a separate presentation of the album closer to spring. Half of the songs from the "Seller nightmares" We are still playing, and the old songs, "King and the Clown" be. Luzhniki - the playground, be so, there are two additional major portal for students, two screens. - 15 years - a serious term. Hits do not bother to write 15? - Was 5 years ago 10th So what? We never thought - Hit or nehit. We make songs that are fun to perform live and interesting to listen to us. If we are to be counted - it's interesting. Although the "Seller Nightmare" is done very carefully, we have tried. We drew an analogy with Tolkien, the "Lord of the Rings", the only songs that we are short. The King and the Clown - this is not a project, it is our way of life. That is our concern. As with the solo albums - it's like the roots and branches. Solo work - is the branch of a large tree. We missed happy team, and without them we can not live. And most of his life lived in this way. - To change your feelings, the style? - We then, tyazheleem the hardcore rush. But basically, we play classic punk. Only shifts the frame apart. When we arrived in Moscow, we immediately noticed the producer. And let the offer - let work, we are 40% and 60% for you - deal? Yes, she went to magnus * y, these producers! Who here is not to think so. But you know how to live musicians? If the leader was given money, he is good, and the musicians how to live? - Well, have recently gone from almost all the musicians? It turns out, they are "thrown" you? - All gone from us musicians - our friends. Ball to America in San Jose, and now lives there with his wife. He ruined it by drink in a group, many people use vodka. We all eat a lot, but it has blown the liver before. Masha and Nefedov - fell in love, and went to live in America. Recently we had a concert in San Francisco, and Ball played bass, Mary - on the violin. Consider it our American musicians. Not everyone is willing to stand up to such a life. In "Renegade" father died and left him the business. He chose a different life, he is now a businessman, "cool." We hope he will be fine. At the very least, find out who. The true fan of the King and the Clown As for Masha, even before leaving the group in an interview she said that she liked the band, but it's not really remember all the songs, and it has to do aerobics. I understand that Masha would slightly different interests, and it is in any case finally broke. So they replaced us on the guy, and to America. Now we played violinist Dmitry Rishko. - Audience at group level changes? - We are now narrowing audience. Young is always a majority, what else. - What do you want to hear? - Russian rock I hear do not know, listen to the roots of rock 'n' roll. Starting with Elvis Presley and end Slayer. A press conference was held in the offices of our radio instead - Tell us about your relationship with "our radio" because you have not long ago bitter conflict with him on the mat and cursing. - We were just spinning our radio and other radio stations have always rejected. For us, as they do scum. Although the songs that we've never not mat. On the stage of the case, but in the songs at all. Our radio - it's closer to the common people, and work out. We had a moment to look Mikhail Kozyrev, not in agreement with him. Conceptually, did not agree. He - the head, and we have - two heads. We had the whole process of relationship. Recently, at a festival in Petrozavodsk, the Kozyrev conducted and we were involved, we went to him and said - we end this discussion. From our side - youthful maximalism of you - ambitions. We sat down with him at the table, spread the old claims, and agreed on the fact that there is no dispute. We respect him - he's really cool. Well, there were disputes, ambition - all we had done it. And to our radio these disputes have nothing to do. - How to get themes for your songs? - We do not know where are our stories. I can teach you to draw, but I can not develop your imagination. So, I. Not speak and did not explain how these stories are born Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru photo of the author. February 10, MSA Luzhniki, 19.00.
