"Brigada S" is a Russian group that gained fame during the days of the Soviet Union. Musicians have come a long way. Over time, they managed to secure the status of rock legends of the USSR.
History and composition of the C Brigade group
The Brigada S group was created in 1985 by Garik Sukachev (vocals) and Sergey Galanin.
In addition to the "leaders", the initial composition of the team included Alexander Goryachev, who was replaced by: Kirill Trusov, Lev Andreev (keyboards), Karen Sarkisov (percussion), Igor Yartsev (percussion instruments) and saxophonist Leonid Chelyapov (wind instruments), and also Igor Markov and Evgeny Korotkov (trumpeters) and Maxim Likhachev (trombonist).
The leader of the team was Garik Sukachev. The musician wrote most of the tracks for the group. It became clear after the release of the first musical compositions that it is not easy for music lovers to have “beginners and innovators”.
The Brigada S group was distinguished from the rest by a powerful spiritual section. In addition, the guys were distinguished by their original stage image. The first "self-presentation" took place in the same 1985.
The team presented the concert program "Tangerine Paradise" to music lovers. Several songs became XNUMX% hits. We are talking about the tracks "My little babe" and "Plumber". The mentioned compositions were included in the golden fund of Russian rock.
A few years after the creation of the team, the Brigada S group moved into the category of professionals. In 1987, the soloists of the group began working in the production center of Stas Namin.
The rock band can be seen at almost all music festivals of the late 1980s. Particularly memorable performances took place at the Lituanika-1987 and Podolsk-87 festivals.
Debut album release
In 1988, the discography of the Brigada S group was replenished with a debut album. The disc was called "Nostalgic Tango".
In addition, the Melodiya record company released a vinyl collection of the group Brigada S with the Nautilus Pompilius group with a recording from the Rock Panorama-87 festival.
In the same year, the musicians starred in Savva Kulish's film Tragedy in Rock Style. This year is also famous for the fact that the Brigada S group performed for the first time on the territory of other countries. So, in 1988, the musicians performed in Poland and Finland.
A year later, joint concerts of the Brigada C group with the West German band BAP took place in the USSR and Germany. In the same year, the group toured the United States of America.
Decay of the group
In 1989, the guys recorded the Nonsense magnetic album. This year has been a difficult one for the team. Soon it became known that the Brigade C group was disintegrating.
Sergei Galanin soon created a separate team, which he named "Foremen". Sukachev reserved the right to use the name "Brigade S". Sukachev's team was joined by Pavel Kuzin, Timur Murtuzaev and others.
The beginning of the 1990s was very fruitful for the Brigada S group. The musicians toured the Soviet Union. In addition, the group visited Germany, the USA and France
A year later, in Moscow, with the support of Garik Sukachev, a nine-hour concert "Rock Against Terror" was held. The concert was filmed by the VID TV company. Soon fans were able to enjoy the songs of the double album Rock Against Terror.
Reunion of Galanin and Sukachev
In 1991, there were rumors in the musical circle that Galanin had joined the Brigada S group. Soon the musicians confirmed the rumor, and even talked about the preparation of a new album.
In the same 1991, the band expanded its discography with the collection All This is Rock and Roll. The album was followed by a vinyl EP.
But fans early rejoiced at the reunion of the musicians. Relations within the team began to heat up again. Director Dmitry Grozny Grozny first left the Brigada C group, then the Sukachev-Galanin link broke up.
Soon the last concert of the band took place. Although attentive fans might have noticed that the band's last performance in Kaliningrad already took place with a changed line-up.
The vocalist, bassist and leader of the Black Obelisk group Anatoly Krupnov and the leader of the Crossroads group Sergey Voronov appeared in the Brigada C group. Soon the team announced the final collapse.
Sukachev in his interview said that he intended to go to the cinema. The music “squeezed out” strength from the musician, and he did not see himself further on the stage. However, in 1994, it became known that Sukachev headed the new Untouchables team.
Group Brigade C today
In 2015, the Brigada S group could have turned 30 years old. In honor of the significant event, Galanin and Sukachev reunited to hold an anniversary concert for fans at the Moscow Rock Laboratory.
The musicians staged a real extravaganza for music lovers on stage. The band's concert was held in Moscow.
A year later, in the Moscow concert hall "Crocus City Hall" at the "Chart Dozen" award, the musicians presented a single from the new collection of the musical group. We are talking about the song "246 steps".
During the presentation of the musical composition, along with Sukachev, other “veterans” of the Brigada S group appeared on the stage: Sergey Galanin, Sergey Voronov, wind players Maxim Likhachev and Evgeny Korotkov. For many, this turn was unexpected.
Fans no longer dreamed of the new tracks of the legendary rock band. Even before the premiere of the single, Garik Sukachev noted that the number 246 is the real footage that a certain person “incognito” must pass through the capital of Russia.
Sukachev also said that he suddenly remembered these steps and understood what these numbers and steps mean. This further confused the fans.
In 2017, the Navigator Records record company released an anthology of the band "Brigada S" - a collection box "Case 8816/ASh-5". Boxing includes such collections:
- "Action Nonsense";
- "Allergies - no!";
- "It's All Rock 'n' Roll";
- "Rivers";
- "I love jazz."
Despite all the expectations of fans, in 2017 the album was not released. But the solo discography of Garik Sukachev in 2019 was replenished with a collection with the already well-known name "246".
The album was recorded over two years between 2017 and 2019. Release month is October. On physical media, the collection was available only during pre-order, which took place on the Planet portal until October 25, 2019.
