History
The musical group was founded in 2022 by Daniil Patlakh and his friends in Moscow.[6] The frontman of the group was Daniil himself, who is a participant of the TV show "Dancing" (TNT).[7] His participation ended in a scandal when, instead of choreography,[8] he decided to dance a slow dance, which caused a resonance among the jury and viewers.[9][10]
The bassist of the band is Igor Nikitin,[11] who combines his musical career with his work in the subway, where in the winter time he works as a train driver.[12] The guitarist of the band is Egor Grigoriev, who once tried to enter a music university, but failed the entrance exam. The reason was his performance of a Jimi Hendrix compositio.[13][14]
