Last Orders "gbob-2005." Both finalists were spotless

In the final qualifying round of the international competition "The Global Battle of the Bands", the last two finalists of the Russian stage determine. One can only welcome the decision of the jury, this time it was uncontested. But the funniest thing in the third round of the 14th November - is that the frontman of the group was similar to the singer of "Salvador" (last year's winner, who was sitting by the way, according to the jury). And the other group and did the same parody of "Salvador" and declared that it is preparing a special song for the contest "gbob". First on stage were clear favorites, the group "My rocket." Pure play "dirty" by the rock group best "avantovskim" for festivals. Original mix of post-rock and Britpop played great, if a little cool to the touch. Khmara, spleen, dampness. The jury, without, I think, no doubt, sent a team to the finals. There they will be a very strong competitor. This is the same. On the second day of competition was Moscow group "Perfect", and now - St. Petersburg "Unperfect". So I do not believe in coincidences. They play classic rock in the spirit of "Led Zeppelin" and comfortable keyboard passages. Not very confident singer manages his voice, and then move from a whisper to a scream from the unpleasant tone. But he was so active it seems gestures - he is singing. But ... I do not sing. In the absence of instrumental drive is critical. Nizhny Novgorod "White Order" its nice antique. Oh, did not occur for the tough competition in this old-fashioned. But what a brilliant song delivered in this group! Remember, the old man David Coverdale. However, the Russian text is so ridiculous to hear what is not followed by an association with "White Snake", but with Gradsky or, even worse, a group of "Rondo". "It was so long ago, remember even remember miracle" - singer sings. He sings to himself. It was a group of "Abviotura" (Moscow-Rostov-on-Don) frontman like Dima Pereverten of "Salvador". His name is Paul "Doc" Lapygin, and he's really good. Back in the group is a man who plays khomus is: "The most famous khomusist in Savelovsky market" as it is presented. Very creative thinking group. Under quite hard punk and even nu-metal soon "Doctor" reads folk ditty, "Oh no, oh yeah do not need anything." Despite some stylistic dispersion may like Rushen mix well be the deciding factor in London. Russian Chukchi orchestra? Why not. Very inadequate for the evening, a group with an inadequate name was "baby food." After leaving they asked themselves: "Welcome to the legendary band." What is it? Well, in a shaggy, in the studio, "Union" was a bad album with this title. Nothing we have not heard about it, and after a confused banal punk rock, they played casually at this time have never heard, I think. Nothing to say about this team - naipusteyshee placebo. Seemed very worthy group "other noises" from Tomsk. She plays a monotonous post-punk with various impurities, even surprising. Because musicians invented great melodies and strong arranger frames. But to build on them in order to cover meat and edible - not yet received. Very energetic singer skillfully uses "gadgets" that is a lot of variety in his vocals. There are great guitar solo, the sound is balanced, and in its best moments the band's sound again refers to the hard-rock '70s. Lacks some of the smallness. Brightness, or what? "Force Majeure" has played the role of Neftekumsk regular freaks compete. Serious people come in the same black leather vest, identical white shirts and ties at constant. Is ridiculous. Then they sang the lyrics heavy civilian custody. Even funnier. All these pieces have been applied to the old twenty years ago the rock. But the problem is not. This cute, obviously, the people initially inefficient way to access arrangements. Is the number of duplicate parties - keyboard with two guitars, and sometimes even with the bass - is not in the music since the invention of the alleged "Widgets". It turns out that the purely technological to the monumental art-rock musicians are far away, and the Soviet VIA - too close. But an unexpected abundance of "Fakov" in English song still satisfied. The life of this group is in full swing. "Lost Kappl" has appeared in the past year. Acted as impersonal and awkward. The singer sings now and then by score. Guitarists prefer punk uniform with numerous guitar solos from a large number of notes and the small amount of sense. No driving, no melody, no creativity. Of - thousands. Drive like melodic metal "Arda" explained former lead singer of the cult in some circles of the "epidemic" Pavel Okunev barrel faucets with breathtaking speed, musicians waved rhythmically long Haeri at every opportunity -... A guitar solo or keyboard pad is not surprising the group has been pioneering discovery of the year, or in some metal magazines. Surprisingly, it is disappointing that the vocals. Undelivered voice live not quite up to the standard of the genre. While perhaps people hoarse only. however, and found no breakthroughs also failed. Ordinary mediocre. "SpaceCats" collects a number of fans in the audience. His lethargy throughout awareness and motivation. soloist with glitter on her face and painted eyes lazily talking text reminds me, while Marc Bolan and David Bowie. Though remembered singing still. He also throws in a room sparkles, something meows. However the failure of the soloists is so obvious, and the secondary role of the companion of all others in the group is so striking that to hear anything. The situation would a few pleasant pop melodies have saved, but melodies are not. As a result, it looks out of place and amateur. dandyism requires completely different. "Ysiki" also played last year, and not very good. Soviet As sweet revenge VIA conceived parody tequila Latin Rock last year's winners. It looked like this. Two good-natured girl shouted slogans weighty forms of aggressive content, while not change the expression of the friendliest. Drummer tries to copy the drum triplets as "Salvador", a bit nervous and stumbling block. At the end of the girls were good-natured back together, suddenly sat down and rocked sexy toes. Freak show ended with loud applause from the audience. Competition in England neprichem. So what? But it is the music of the good people. Confident group made Ivanovo "Aze". Technically, post-rock with curious lyrics, "Heaven ends in us." Lacking a bit of strength and drive. But perfect beat drums, listen to interesting insights into the arrangements, rounded guitar ... and wounds - a wave of sound. By the end of the performances already raspelsya singer. Group not only had a little before. Finals But all they come. After a large dose of depression and the severity is always a pleasure to hear optimistic funk. "Making the Ilyich" and his play, intertwined with quotes from the "Gypsy-Moldovan" was (incidentally, the remakes are not allowed in the terms and conditions.) And also with a horn section and a transparent major chord. Frontman plays the keyboard, and his entire repertoire is painfully reminiscent of the group repertoire, "Bravo." And he himself - a clear dandy with a taste for the beautiful. Goes from singing rap, with recitations, music by screams. Not vocal efforts of teachers, many ports managed in the shell, but the taste remains. Sergei Cat and "Beat Light» Micah remember so well that they can not sing anything else, except in the manner of that artist. See no need to develop some ideas, not contagious stage. Particularly amused common cries from time to time: "It's cold!" But here, the idea is brought to the point of absurdity, as it would be interesting to hear. Rounding out the last qualifying day "The Coast", the supporters are very rare in nature genre. In particular, optimistic Russian Rock. With violin, saxophone and other guitars. And, you know, all happy and hear nedurashlivo. Without opostylevshego banter. London, of course it will not do. But nice to hear - this group of "ship" had disappeared from the horizon of show business ... Such a holy place is never empty. So, in the last "My Rockets Up" and "Abviotura." Were This is the first decision of the jury for three rounds that looks absolutely perfect. Choice was not in fact. Slightly misguided leaders "other noises" and "Aze". But we have to admit that she had no chance at the end, have so declared by Nick Rock-n-Roll, the jury's decision and also human. The finale of "The Global Battle of the Bands" Now on 21 November in the club "B-2". It is visited "Life-n-Joy!" (Moscow), "last resort" (Nizhny Novgorod), "Angara" (Moscow), "Aerocater4» (St. Petersburg), "Oxygenic» (Moscow), "are Indigo Diva "(Chelyabinsk)," My Hands Up "(Moscow) and" Abviotura "(Moscow-Rostov). One can predict that the violent struggle will be between the clear favorite, "Life-n-Joy!" And, "My rocket." But it may be in its global fight and take the rest of the finals. Leave it to the finals of divination. Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru Photos - Alexander Orlov, NEWSmusic.ru
