"Show someone"

The premiere of the song from the new album of the Group "Exit"

Sergey "Silya" Selyunin

Musician, Group "Exit"

- Songs such as this one sang during the civil war, it can easily be represented in the films "Elusive Avengers" or "two comrades served." It is arranged by 12-string guitars stylized under balalaika. And in the text - there are no thoughts that there is no heroism without shit, great things are not done with clean hands. One of Hercules’s exploits is just connected with this, the Avgian stables. But someone owes, right?

Throughout the history of the group, since 1982, about 200 musicians outplayed it. And in the album “crept up”, which will be published in May on the “Department of Exit”, a completely motley composition that has nothing to do with people who recorded our classical hits: “poor animal”, “I can not finish”, “women like horses”, “city of castrated poets”. Only the author is the same - I, Sil. Voice, bass and acoustic guitar are also recorded by me.

The Bayan and the Sifts - Kolya Fomin, my old Partner on the Black Indians, was such a story in the late eighties. There were four of us then: I, Fomin, Fedya Chistyakov and the drummer "Nolya" Lesha Nichols.

And here the Spaniards Alejandro, he used to play in a tavern on the Canary Islands Irish music. Then he threw everything, left for Berlin and there we engaged him. They were written in several studios at once: Berlin, Moscow, Peter and California. In California, solo Alexander Lyapin, known for the Aquarium of the 1980s, were recorded. And the saxophones of colic Rubanov ("Auktsyon") - in St. Petersburg.

The album was released by a nervous, aggressive, with a dirty unaccounted sound a la Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Stranglers. And I am very happy about this.

People spend space budgets to achieve such a natural sound. And we spent a penny, and it seems that it turned out.

I will present a few songs.

"Tank is stronger than the elephant." The thing from the first electrical album of the “output”, which was recorded at one time, but, unfortunately, did not come out. “Tank” is a song of the period of my great and bright love. I had a feeling then, as if I had run into a tank. No one wanted to break and crush anyone, but it just happened. A very aggressive thing.

"Wizard song." I write extremely rarely, and periodically it seems to me that everything, signed up, can’t do anything else. And then I decided to go chewing and write on behalf of a 14-year-old girl. It turned out to be moralizing and even politicized, which is usually unusual for me: "There are almost no titans left, they were sold out into slavery, because the pigmes are stronger."

This is very naive. It is so naive that one friend wrote to me: “Sil, you do not know the girls well! This is not fourteen years old, but twelve! "

"Seka." Petersburg folk song. Seva Grach, formerly the director of the Zoo group, classifies it by 1963. There was such a card game - Seka. In criminal jargon, which is closely intertwined with the style hippov, this word has another meaning-we shoot. Like, "Seka! The cops came! ” The song mentions the "Office of the Leningrad City Council" - this is the then drug addict from the Rome cafe on Petrogradka. Something like a local "saigon", during the day there was a children's cafe "ice cream", and in the evening, drugs sat. In the kindergarten across the road, they traded drugs.

"So far in the hand, a glass!" . Someone will consider it the propaganda of alcoholism, but, if you think about it, the student anthem “Gaudeamus” is also the promotion of alcoholism. No, there is a different thing. Once, even in LiveJournal, I had the imprudence to write: “I hate people who do not know how to rejoice!” It seems that nothing offensive, but the character appears and appears to me:

“I am always a fig from your moronic optimism.” Why are you rejoicing? Is it really not clear that the world and we along with him are lending into the abyss, this can no longer be stopped. It's over ...

So, what will I tell you, gentlemen pessimists (with the words of Konstantin Simonov): "Nothing in life can be knocked out of the saddle." About this is the song.

“Duba Dam #2” has the same origin as “Duba Dam #1”. What to do, if not all melodies are selected words. I hummed this tongue twister, a slope, but there was still no text. My then wife said: “What else do you need?” And here is the same story: “I will give an oak, I will cut an oak!”, And that’s it. It didn’t work out to write anything reasonable, but it is a pity for music, groovy. The violinist Masha Lagofet, who plays here, I said that in the spirit there should be something like “seven forty”. So it happened. The violin is so good that you can not sing anything. Someone even believes that this is a Jewish SKA.

And "epitaph" . I usually write texts to the music, but then it turned out the other way around. I dreamed of this text. When I began to choose a melody, it turned out something similar to Summer in Siam Pogues. Well, I wrote them together.

The album, despite all my natural optimism, was still gloomy, hence the name “crept up” and the cover on which the arctic fox.

Six months ago, in January, the Red Sailor publishing house released my book “How I did Rock-N Roll”. This is all at once: my personal history of Russian rock, and memoirs, and a collection of semi -dashed fuses. If you perceive them in the kit, an album and a book, then the main message is this:

Rock and roll not only and not so much music, it is also a way of life, as Jagger used to say.

The presentation of the album of the Group “Exit” “crept” will be held on May 18 in the Moscow Club “Archeology”
