Beginnings: The Birth of "Neprikasayemye"

In the summer of 1994, the legendary "Neprikasayemye" ("Outcasts") project was officially launched, albeit with a slightly different lineup from the iconic "Brigada S" band. The core members included renowned musicians: Sergei Voronov (Crossroads) on guitar and harmonica, Anatoly Krupnov (Black Obelisk) on bass, Pavel Kuzin (Bravo) on drums, Ruslan Ayupov (Brigada S) on keyboards and accordion, Alexey Ermolin (Brigada S and Doctor Watson) on saxophones, and Alexander Kazankov on ethnic flutes.

"Brel Brel Brel": An Instant Hit

The group's debut album, "Brel Brel Brel," quickly soared to popularity upon its release. Two of its most famous tracks, "Napoi Menya Vodoy" ("Give Me Water to Drink") and "Olga," have become timeless anthems of love and continue to be staples in the band's live performances.

Evolving the Lineup

In time, Alexander Kosorunin, one of Russia's most acclaimed drummers, replaced Kuzin behind the drums. Kosorunin had an impressive resume, having played with bands such as Kaskad, Marshal, Academy of Rock, and Voskresenie.

Milestones of the '90s

The '90s proved to be a whirlwind for Neprikasayemye. They graced the stage of the prestigious Europa-Plus rock festival in Moscow alongside Deep Purple and Status Quo. The band ventured to London, performing at the iconic Astoria Theatre and on BBC London's live program hosted by Seva Novgorodtsev. They also contributed to the soundtrack of Garik Sukachev's debut film, "Crisis of Middle Age."

A New Century: Collaborations and Acclaim

As the millennium turned, Neprikasayemye embarked on a joint performance with Emir Kusturica and The No Smoking Orchestra. They collaborated with acclaimed filmmaker Pyotr Todorovsky on the soundtrack for Sukachev's film "Prazdnik" ("Celebration"), resulting in the release of the "Front Album," a collection of songs about war and wartime.

Continued Success into the 2000s

In 2002, Neprikasayemye unveiled their new album, "Nochnoy Polyot" ("Night Flight"), featuring fan favorites such as "Polubi Menya" ("Love Me") and "My Grandmother Smokes a Pipe." They continued to tour extensively, performing at major festivals like Maxidrom and Nashestvie.

Their 2003 album, "Poetika," showcased their versatility, including covers alongside original compositions. The album's launch was met with rave reviews, and the band's two-night residency at the State Central Concert Hall "Rossiya" was a resounding success.

Legacy and Impact

Throughout their existence, Neprikasayemye has remained a force in the Russian music scene. Their music has touched the hearts of generations, with songs that have become synonymous with love, resilience, and the human spirit. They continue to inspire and captivate audiences with their unique blend of heartfelt lyrics, infectious melodies, and virtuoso musicianship.
