The Ex-BB team has been performing on the domestic stage for 25 years, and during this time it has gained well-deserved popularity. This is a team of artists that appeared in Moscow in last years the existence of the USSR. The new team was born along with new Russia, since at the end of perestroika the Bim-Bom ensemble, the predecessor of Ex-BB, still existed. On the eve of the appearance of the group, its members were part of it, hence the name of the new team - Ex-BB, that is, the former Bim-Bom.

The genre of the stage work of the group's group can be attributed to a parody, but the performances of the Ex-BB carry a real originality and the viewer sees a fairly large variety in their parodies.

In the 1990s, Ex-BB performed at many concerts and festivals: Golden Ostap (St. Petersburg), Sea of ​​Laughter (Riga), Odessa Humorina (Odessa) and so on. At that time, the group consisted of four artists, but now the composition has been reduced. Nowadays Gia Gagua, Alexander Kalinin and Alexander Ozerov perform at the Ex-BB. All of them come from the 1960s, each has a higher education (some acting, some culturological), and Alexandra - Kalinin and Ozerov are also engineers with diplomas from the Moscow Aviation Institute.

Their team was often invited to popular humorous television programs: Full House, Smehopanorama, Meeting Place, funny people. In performances, artists do not set the task of copying or imitating anyone, they find various situations from modern life society and present them to the viewer in a humorous way.


In programs, concerts and shows with the participation of Ex-BB in their performance, you can often see the numbers "Disco", "Oh, don't give me mother", "Gentlemen of Fortune" and others that have enjoyed and are enjoying audience success. It is difficult to describe in words how the stars of youth discos of the 1970s and 80s, characters famous movie how a Russian girl from the past gets into our days and convinces that a hundred or two years ago young ladies were preoccupied with very similar problems ... In their numbers, the artists change the situations in which the portrayed characters find themselves, and when presented to the viewer, they emphasize characteristics characters shown. This is done with a dose of eccentricity, therefore it causes a smile and laughter and makes people come to the Ex-BB again.


In 2007, one of the artists of the group (Vadim Sorokin) died and A. Kalinin, A. Ozerov and G. Gagua remained. In this composition, they performed for another year, and then the group split into two compositions. In 2008, due to the separation at the concert, there was even an incident. Two Alexanders came to perform without Gia Gagua, but they forgot to inform the audience. When everyone's favorite Ex-BB appeared on stage not in in full force the audience began to leave the hall ... it was already Next-BB, which retained the traditions of the team and the style of work. And Gia Gagua was able to find new artists and led another team - Ex-BB Gia. The appearance of two compositions of the group occurred due to disagreements in the ways of creative development. Nevertheless, both bands that have appeared continue to retain the overall look of the work of the good old Ex-BB. In their performances, they actively use irony over themselves, parody artists and artistic characters past, which in stage performances fall into the present and live in the realities of our days. At the same time, the heroes of the story do not consider themselves parodists.

1986 Moscow. Alexander F. Sklyar creates the Va-Bank group. About A.F.S. So much has already been said and written that, in my opinion, there is no point in repeating it. Only the most lazy and completely illiterate Papuan from New Guinea or a young freelance journalist from the newspaper “More” may not know that A.F.S. he gave up his career as a diplomat in North Korea, brilliant from all sides, for the sake of music, although he retained the title of attache, etc. etc.

The first to be invited was drummer Alexander Malikov, who at one time studied at the legendary 45th school, which he graduated a few years later than A.F.S. An indelible impression on the young, fragile soul of the pioneer Malikov was made by the performance of the school group “777” created by A.F.S. and Vasya Shumov and performing standards on English language. Alexander Malikov, in turn, brought guitarist Yegor Nikonov, with whom they had previously played ska together in the Moscow group Kabinet, and bassist Alexei Nikitin, his dacha neighbor and friend in summer football fun. Football, subsequently, played an unkind joke with Alexei. And, finally, from the very moment of the foundation of Va-Bank, sound engineer Robert 'Grandfather' Rednikin and Uncle Vova Rodzianko were already present in it, responsible for all these years in the group for anything, but for nothing in particular, carefully maintaining morale and deep inner world team. The first one was rehearsed fairly quickly. concert program and already in the summer of 1986, Va-Bank constantly and steadily expanded the geography of its trips and, accordingly, gathered a crop of new admirers and admirers. The main motto of the A.F.S. then proclaimed: “Rock and roll must travel!!”. And the main goal is at least 10 years of joint work and at least 1000 concerts played. Only after overcoming these milestones can the group be considered valid, noted A.F.S. And rock and roll began to travel. The task was successfully completed. During the first 10 years, Va-Bank traveled all over Europe and Russia, took part in an incredible number of festivals, recorded and released 10 albums. Moreover, Va-Bank managed to become the first non-professional group in the USSR to record and release their album in the West (1988 Polarvox On, Finland). Over the years, Va-Bank has performed with such bands as Millions Of Dead Cops, UK Subs, Stray Cats, ARNO, Rollins Band, Biohazard and many others.

At 199? A year later, the obscenely technical virtuoso guitarist Mikhail Kassirov joined the group. The sound of it acoustic guitar easily recognizable in the compositions of the album “In the Kitchen” (1992). He took an active part in the production and recording of the next heaviest album “So it is necessary” (1994). But already in January 1995, Mikhail Kassirov was replaced by the guitarist of the POGO band Alik Ismagilov. And in the same 1995, the album “Live Live” was released with the hit “Eldorado” to the verses of Evgeny Golovin. During a big tour of Russia in 1996 in Volgograd, before a concert during football match with the participation of the musicians "Alisa" and "Chaifa", Alexei Nikitin tears his Achilles tendon and is urgently sent to Moscow for an operation. The place of the bass player is taken by Alik Ismagilov, who learned all the bass guitar parts in one sleepless night in a hotel. And in the spring of 1997, during the preparation of the album “Home” (1997), Alexei Nikitin, the author of such Va-Bank songs as Sour Wine, etc., finally left the group. Around the same time, drummer Alexander Malikov also leaves. His place is taken by Andrey Belizov, a longtime colleague of Alik Ismagilov in the “POGO” group (spring 1988-December 1994). In such an updated composition

Va-Bank starts working on a very unexpected project“Lower Tundra” (1999). This album is, in essence, a kind of soundtrack to the story of the same name by Viktor Pelevin. The sound engineer and programmer Pavel Ovcharov took part in the recording of the album, who replaces Robert Rednikin at the mixing console. For some time in the concert versions of the “Lower Tundra” program, a very colorful keyboard player Philip Baranov-Makedonsky plays.

In parallel, A.F.S. is engaged in solo projects, realizing in them a different side of his work, different from Va-Bank. A.F.S. writes and publishes several very interesting solo albums. The well-known keyboardist and arranger Alexander Belonosov comes to Va-Bank from Alexander F. Sklyar's project, and Yegor Nikonov is replaced by a young and very talented guitarist Den Burim. In this composition, the group's album “Barefoot on the Moon” (2001) is recorded.

The successful presentation of this album in the club B-2 (November 14-15, 2002) marked the 15th anniversary of Va-Bank, and all the musicians who had ever played in the band took part in the concert.

February - March 2003 removed from the group keyboard instruments, and also leaves the Den Burim group and his place is taken by the guitarist and arranger Sergey Levitin, before joining Va-Bank, the musician of the Serga group. Apart from the fact that Sergei Levitin is an excellent musician and arranger, he is also interested in and implements all the latest technologies in creating guitar sound. Thus, Va-Bank, as before, becomes a quartet, and the emphasis is on the guitar sound. In this composition, the group records the last one on this moment studio album "Players and Spies".

During its existence, the group has experimented with various musical styles. The "early" VA-BANK was notable for its aggressive, heavy style, sometimes with elements of punk, albeit saturated with unrestrained fun and valiant prowess. classical works of this stage, such hits (from the albums "TAK NADO !!", "Life on Wheels", etc.) as "Sour Wine", "In the Country", "Life on Wheels", "Curly", "Girl" and many other. Starting from the album "In the Kitchen" and continuing these creative researches on the album "Live, Alive!", VA-BANK very successfully tried his hand at the "acoustic" direction. The songs of this period turned out to be very original, melodic and extraordinarily beautiful, performed in the spirit of Moscow urban folklore. It is to this period that such immortal creations as "Eldorado" (author - E. Golovin), "Drunken Song", "Kitchen", "Black Banner", "Leisure Boogie" (P. Mamonov), etc. belong.

Starting from the 1997 album "Home!!" VA-BANK has entered a fundamentally new stage for itself. First, the composition of the group has changed significantly. The group was left by the honored veterans Alexei Nikitin and Alexander Malikov, and their places were taken by no less eminent and famous musicians Alik Ismagilov and Andrey Belizov (undoubtedly familiar to connoisseurs of music from the group "PoGo"). Secondly, the group tested for itself fundamentally new scheme songwriting. If earlier each of the musicians brought some blanks, which were then finalized by joint efforts, then the album "Home!!" was composed by all together in a specially rented for this purpose country house completely cut off from civilization. The result is works that can rightfully be called the fruit of truly collective creativity, the product of joint creative experiences of all the musicians of the group. The album turned out to be very mature and adult, it feels the musical and life experience team members. It combines many styles in which VA-BANK has experimented before (this includes both hard "electric" things, and soft "acoustic" and "semi-acoustic" things), but the symbiosis turned out to be so organic that the album is listened to in one breath, hard things smoothly and naturally turn into soft ones and vice versa.

The band is currently actively working on the creation of a new album. The album is written based on the specially written story "Lower Tundra". The author of the story is Viktor Pelevin. The album will not be a direct musical illustration of the story, but will be exactly what is called "based on". The album will be called "Lower Tundra". The trends of the times could not but affect the group's work - the musical part of the album will be based on much more electronic special effects than the group allowed itself before.

At the very beginning of his creative way The group immediately made itself known in the international arena. In particular, the group owns a kind of record: VA-BANK is the first Soviet non-professional musical group to release a record abroad (1988, Polarvox Oy, Finland). The group's other international achievements include winning the 1993 Radio France International competition.

VA-BANK Group regularly performs at concert venues Russia, held several successful tours in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland and took part in a huge number of festivals in Russia and abroad, finding her audience everywhere.

Since 1987, VA-BANK has been consistently ranked among the top ten alternative groups in Russia, and, having many projects and creative ideas, always ready for new contacts and offers.

The band performed with such world-famous stars as Rollins Band, Stray Cats, Rage Against The Machine, Million Of Dead Cops, and in 1995 was specially invited to Prague to take part in a concert together with English punk rock legend UK SUBS.

In addition to the main activities in the group, the musicians are active public life. So, for example, Alexander F. Sklyar hosts the program "Learn to Swim" on Radio Maximum and is the leader of the eponymous music festival and youth movement, and Robert Rednikin preaches orthodox musical tastes on RaKurs radio. Alexander F. Sklyar, among other things, has solo projects"Towards Tango", "Boatswain and the Tramp" (with Garik Sukachev), "Gypsy Rock-n-Roll" (with the Zhemchuzhny brothers), and Yegor Nikonov directs the "Egor and BOMBERS" project.
