Until now, ROCK SEPTEMBER remains perhaps the most famous group of industrial Cherepovets Vologda region in the south, but remember it is usually in connection with the musicians who have left an episodic trace in its history, having achieved much more independently - this, of course, Yuriy Shevchuk is about Alexander and Bashlacheve. However, in the early 80's ROCK SEPTEMBER grabbed his piece of glory.
Group organized the spring of 1979, Vyacheslav Kobrin, a flutist for Education, which later was replaced by a flute and a guitar from the mid-'70s began playing in various amateur groups. While the stars were local scale NEW TIME WHITE NECK, ORION and breath of time - the last to Kobrin went Oleg Hackman, bass, vocals, and Eugene Belozerov, drums, singing of the added keyboardist and sound engineer Alexander Pugachev, Yuri Sorokin. They settled in the city house of culture, prepared a program of imports and their own songs, took the name of the disc-September (the country at that time embraced the disco boom) and in the same month, started playing at dances.
With close to creating a solid material and technical basis, the group worked intensively wherever she was called, and soon became the most popular in Cherepovets. During the year the musicians gathered material for his debut album, recorded in early 1981 at his point. He broke at the moment across the country under the name "Disco Robot" (also known as one of the songs on the album, which became a hit in discos, even in St. Petersburg) and significantly increased the number of listeners of the group.
Shortly after this CD-SEPTEMBER, was invited to the Ulyanovsk Philharmonic, however, four months later, not satisfied with either the work itself, nor any of its payment, the band quit and returned home. In addition, in 1979-1982 they participated in the regional contest amateur youth and political songs, "Red Rose", and in 1981 became its lauretatmi a year later appeared there as guests of honor. During this period they became close friends with a young journalist and poet Alexander Bashlachev, who had just returned from Sverdlovsk in Cherepovets, where he graduated from the University of fakultut local journalism. Bashlachev published in the press articles about youth culture, and wrote some lyrics for the songs SEPTEMBER.
Also in 1982, felt the change in market conditions and growth in public interest to Russian rock, the band changed its name to Rock-SEPTEMBER, recorded their second album, "We need wind," and sent it to the contest "Golden tuning fork", which spent the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda". In the autumn they are among the other winners, were held at the III stage of the competition and were invited to Moscow to perform at a gala concert in the hall of the hotel "Eaglet".
Speech ROCK SEPTEMBER bad ideas in line with officials from the culture of how to sound the Komsomol propaganda team, so the record of the concert was cut, but that's where the group met with the contestants from Ufa, a group of DDT, which was looking for an opportunity to record their own songs.
Hoping that the creative potential leaders Shevchuk and DDT Sigacheva coupled with its own technological base will help the group get back on track professional, Kobrin invited both of Cherepovets, on the spot but found that they did not share his plans for the future. Meanwhile, and in the ROK-SEPTEMBER began controversy, and his left Hackman, which took place Andrei Maslennikov, bass. In mid-January 1983 Kobrin, Maslennikov and Sorokin Shevchuk and helped write Sigacheva cycle of their songs, later known as the "Compromise" (known also as "a monologue in Saigon"). These records were scattered across the country glorifying ROCK SEPTEMBER much more than her own creativity.
That same year, succeeded the founder of the Pugachev MODERN TIMES, one of the best bands of the city, which played a powerful jazz-rock with horns, keyboards Vladimir Kapustin, but the band broke up in autumn: their records (with and without DDT) to get to the West, once called ROCK-September, it was mentioned in the transfer of Seva Novgorodtseva, which resulted in his ban at home. Kobrin went to Stockholm and joined MAGNETIC BAND (then played with his leader Gunnar Grapsom in GGG, then with ULTIMA THULE and with his BLUES BAND Kobrin), and Kapustin has brought to Moscow, where he became the keyboardist CRUISE (interestingly, there for long played and Krainov). The outcome of this period was the album "Doctor Rock and Roll" (1983).
However, once again lives in ROCK SEPTEMBER breathed Oleg Hackman, who in 1984-1987 with the help of guest musicians recorded four new album. "Kaleidoscope" (1984), "dance hall" (1985), "Carousel" (1986) and "Rock in September" (1987), although they have not attracted much attention.
In 1987, Hackman and a veteran of Eugene Belozerov gathered concert of the Rock-SEPTEMBER, which included Vladislav Mamchenko, guitar, and Vyacheslav Kurbatov, keyboards, which started writing new material (Hackman - music, Mamchenko - texts), to act at home and to travel other cities, in particular, took part in the rock festival "Rock + world" in Yaroslavl (May 1987), sometimes, still, singing "Do not shoot," Shevchuk.
In October 1988 the band was hired to Vologda Philharmonic Society, and shortly before New Year's firm "Melody" published EP with two songs the group, however, it passed unnoticed, and at the turn of the 90 tracks SEPTEMBER lost.
Their former lyricist Sasha Bashlachev is probably the most gifted and brilliant poet of Russian rock and died in February 1988, leaving behind dozens of wonderful songs. It is interesting that in the organized in memory of him in January 1990, the festival "Rock Speakers" in Cherepovets spoke with his songs and his former colleague, keyboardist Alexander Pugachev, but since no information about former members ROCK APRIL have been reported, but their records are not republished
