The Russian group "Agatha Christie" is known to many thanks to the song "I'm on you like in war." The musical group is one of the brightest representatives of the rock scene, and the only group that has received four Ovation music awards at once.
The Russian group was known in informal circles, and at the dawn stage, the group expanded its circle of fans. The highlight of "Agatha Christie" is the dramatic performance in combination with bold and bright texts.
The history of the creation of "Agatha Christie"
The musical group was formed during the collapse of the USSR. Initially, the group included such talented young students of the Ural Polytechnic University as:
- V. Samoilov;
- G. Samoilov;
- A. Kozlov;
- P. May.
The idea of creating a rock band came to the guys when they were part of the school ensemble. Then they gave performances exclusively in a close circle, not counting on recognition and popularity.
The official date of formation of the project is 1987. Then, in one of the major Sverdlovsk rock clubs, the guys announced their group, performing several bright compositions.
A few years later, fate brought the young performers together with the well-known at that time, Makarevich and Butusov. A little later, the Agatha Christie team was replenished by a member of the Nautilus Pompilius group - Potapkin. Following him, Lev Shutylev also left the group, who took the role of a keyboard player in the musical group. Exactly one year later, the new project participants left the Agatha Christie group. In 1992, Shutylev committed suicide for unknown reasons.
In 1991, the group included a young and avid drummer Andrey Kotov, who for 17 years delighted fans with an excellent performance. A member of the musical group is also Roman Baranyuk, with whom the group last recorded "Epilogue", and finally performed at the rock festival "Invasion".
The crisis fell on the group with the moment of Kozlov's death. This member of the team was the main founder of the rock band, and the ideological mentor for many aspiring bands. It was Kozlov who decided all the controversial points.
Creativity of the musical group
The album "Second Front", which was released in 1988, was the first debut of young performers. At the same time, the guys performed several of their compositions at the SyRok rock festival, which was filmed for the popular TV show Vzglyad.
After a successful performance at a rock festival, the group's popularity went beyond Sverdlovsk. At the same time, the first tour, which dragged on for more than 6 months, also fell. A little later, Razbash shot the first video for the rock band "Viva Kalman!".
In 1993, one of the most suitable albums, Shameful Star, was released. By the way, this is almost the first album that was recorded on a disc. The composition of the disc included the well-known track "I'm on you, like in a war", which made the guys recognizable in almost every corner of the country.
After the successful release of the "Shameful Star", the performers delight with a disc called "Opium". Interestingly, they presented the album in one of the largest halls - "Russia". By that time, the producers took care of the release of video clips. The presentation was 5+.
The album "Opium" sold 6 million discs. The popularity of "Agatha Christie" has greatly increased. The last few years, according to the participants, they spent on tour.
Many fans of the work of "Agatha Christie" were pleased with the album called "Thriller. Part 1". A little later, Renata Litvinova helped shoot a song for one of the tracks on the Thriller. Part 1".
Many fans of the group were waiting for the sequel. But together with the album “Thriller. Part 2", the musical group releases the album "Epilogue". A completely unexpected, but long-awaited decision for the fans of the group.
What is happening with the Agatha Christie group now?
Vadim and Gleb Samoilov are currently soloists of their own projects. Last year, both vocalists were seen at the major rock festival Open Windows!, where they managed to present their own hits to the audience.
At the same rock festival, the most popular songs of Agatha Christie are heard. The compositions are performed by Samoilov Jr. The authorship of the songs belongs to him and is not disputed by his older brother.
