Russian Federation (1983 – present)

Alisa (Алиса, russian analogue to the female name Alice) is a Russian and Soviet hard rock band, which is credited as one of the most influential bands in the russian rock movement.

Since 80’s and till today Алиса is one of the most popular rock bands in Russia. Their lyrics, written by vocalist Konstantin Kinchev, are concerned with social problems, rock music, slavic culture and, more recently, christian faith.

Alisa was founded in November 1983 by bassist Svetoslav Zadery. The name of the band is borrowed from Lewis Carroll’s book “Alice in Wonderland”. The band’s lineup was finally completed in 1984, when new vocalist Kostya Kinchev (born Konstantin Panfilov) and guitarist Peotr Samoylov joined Alisa. Their debut album “Energia” was released by state publishing monopoly Melodia and was sold in numbers of more than one million.

But the relations between two leaders - Konstantin and Zadery - were bad, and finally Svetoslav departed from the band. This occurred just one hour before Alisa was to perform at a concert. Alisa had to ask Кино bassist Igor Tihomirov to replace him for one concert. Later Zadery created his own band ‘Nate!’ (‘Take it!’).

The growing popularity of the band created a fan community called the ‘Army of Alisa’, known for their rough behaviour at concerts. It led to animosity between the band and Soviet officials.
