The KOLYBEL Band exists from the beginning of 1994. There used to be different other groups that were playing absolutely different music and had nothing in common with KOLYBEL, except the musicians majority of which were the same. Nevertheless, all these bands gave birth to the KOLYBEL band, that played its first concert in "TAM-TAM" Music Club in St.Petersburg, Russia on the 7th of January, 1994. The first album called "STEREO" was released by Moroz Records Co. in 1995 that was sold out promptly both in Moscow and in St.Petersburg. At the present moment, the Band consists of 4 members: NIKITA ALEKSEEV - vocals , MICHAEL EGOROFF - 6 string guitar, NIKOLAI MIRONOFF - drums , PAVEL STEPANOVSKY - 5 string bass guitar. The band plays mostly in the clubs of St. Petersburg (both plugged and unplugged) and has its audience that has a strict tendency to grow bigger and bigger. Apart from that, KOLYBEL also played at bigger stages and concert halls in St. Petersburg: Petrovsky Open Stadium, Jubileinij Stadium, Oktiabrsky Concert Hall, Kosmonavt Concert Hall, etc. KOLYBEL had three big tours round Hungary in the end of 1996 and beginning of 1997, playing mostly in the clubs of Budapest and other hungarian towns. KOLYBEL participated in three biggest Rock Festivals in Russia since 1996, Summer Festival in Odessa, the Ukraine in 1996, Tele marathon in Yerevan, Armenia, and at the largest eastern European rock festival PEPSI SZIGET (Pepsi Island) which took place in Budapest, Hungary from 14 till 20 August 1997. St. Petersburg rock group KOLYBEL was the only one chosen by the festival management as the representative of Russian modern music. KOLYBEL played on one stage with such well known groups and artists as DAVID BOWIE, FAITH NO MORE, MOTORHEAD, FOO FIGHTERS, APOLLO 440, CARDIGANS, ROLLINS BAND, DEUS, TOY DOLLS, NEW MODEL ARMY, FLUKE, etc. KOLYBEL opened the last day of the festival in one concert with CARDIGANS and FOO FIGHTERS. That is how the members of the band got aquainted with Dave Grohl, ex-drummer of NIRVANA. Dave stood backstage and was listening and watching KOLYBEL performance and after the concert he said: "It was cool, man!" By now, the second album of KOLYBEL has been released at Zvezda Records Co., St. Petersburg, Russia.
