  We're at home! Well, that were splendid days)) Thanks to all visitors of our October shows.
  Here's our impressions dairy:
  • Yekaterinburg - we first in our life played the venue which had been being built just during soundcheck))) But it's great club, which has one of the best sound in the country!
  • Tyumen - the audience was great like never before! Though, Tyumen always gives us good welcome))
  • Perm - a restaurant hall and a heavy music made a strange combination, so thanks to our fans! We together had frightened them good))
  • Ufa - wonderful town and nice people, and very beautiful girls)))
  • Izhevsk - we have met just this spring. And now we understand each other! Thank you!
  • Kirov - beautiful and cosy place. Till present it was the hottest and brightest concert of the month.
  • Cherepovets - the Inferno club is just like home sweet home for us. And the audience was great again.
• September 29
  The first part of the Animal Jazz autumn tour was finished with the triumphal show at the one of the biggest Moscow club in presence of 4 thousands of people, the atmosphere was hot and driving! Thanks to the audience!
  Actually, the whole September tour was the most successful in the history of the band. That was best in a few aspects - we gave our best to the audience and it was mutual; also at the point of art we were in the best form we ever had been before. We realised that you had liked our new songs - what could be more exciting! Thanks to all who'd come to our concerts! To cut a long story short, here're our impressions:
  • Irkutsk - it was just like we're at home. The full mutual emotional exchange!
  • Krasnoyarsk - it was the fest, of course, it's not the same when we play single show, nevertheless, nobody was disappointed, we guess:
  • Abakan - we were playing there first time. Kind people, splendid concert. And now we have real khomuses)))
  • Novosibirsk - it was absolute sold out at the best Siberia club. We hadn't played the whole programs because of Mihalych's problems with health, but anyway - we did our best. So did the audience.
  • Kemerovo - we were waiting for a long time to visit the city, and the meeting was unforgettable! Also there were the hottest fans of the tour!
  • Tomsk - Due to technical fails we had to play unplugged, and perhaps that was the best set of the tour. Tomsk fans, you did support us in a hard situation!
  • Omsk - that was the second forced unplugged, over sold out and unlimited love! Dears, it's almost sex)))
  
  The October concerts are to come soon, and a bit later - we'll finish recording of the album.
  By the way, the RAMP voting is coming up to the end and if you're still having strength after all jumps and singing in September - you'll vote more?
