Mashina Vremeni to give concert in Yerevan in September
The legend of Russian rock, Mashina Vremeni band will give a concert in Yerevan early September for the first time in past 20 years.
Band leader Andrei Makarevich, who was in Yerevan to support the crew of Cilicia sailing vessel, announced the news to his Armenian fans.
Mashina Vremeni (Time Machine) which formed in Moscow in the late 1960s, is recognized as one of the patriarchs of Russian rock music. Best known members are Andrei Makarevich - the founder, principal singer-songwriter and the band's public persona, and Alexander Kutikov - the bass player and producer/sound engineer. Other members have come and gone throughout the years, which contributed to the fact that Mashina Vremeni is a pluralistic band - on any given record one will hear songs performed by at least two different singers (on the later records the number is usually four).
Although presented as a rock band, Mashina Vremeni incorporates many different genres. Through the its development the band played in many styles, beginning with imitations of Western rock leaders and ending with Mashina's unique style. However, experiments are welcome even now at the end of the fourth decade of the band's existence. The last album "Mashinalno" reflects the devotion of band members to the music of 1970s with the sound of the 21st century. The album includes some Beatles-like songs, punk composition, some blues and some slow ballads. Each album includes songs of many genres. The blues of Petr Podgorodetskiy and Evgeny Margulis, a variety of genres by Andrei Makarevich and hard rock and the fiery rock-n-roll of Alexandr Kutikov. And yet, this cannot be called a rule - all authors contributed almost to every genre.
