Lyapis Trubetskoy

The Lyapis Trubetskoy group existed from 1989 to 2014. The Belarusian collective was named after the hero from The Twelve Chairs, a novel by Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov. Nikifor Lyapis, a hack poet with the pseudonym Trubetskoy, became associated not only with a cult work, but also with a well-known group.

In 1989, the Lyapis Trubetskoy collective appeared on the stage of a large-scale event “Try kolery” in the city of Minsk. Under the leadership of Sergei Mikhalok, a student at the Belarusian Institute of Culture, Dmitry Sviridovich, Ruslan Vladyko and Alexei Lyubavin played at concerts, but did not exist as a collective outside the events.

Sergei Mikhalok is from Dresden, but received his education in Minsk, where he arrived with his family only in the early 80s. The biography of the Lyapisov leader has been associated with creativity since childhood. At the beginning of the 90s Mikhalok is actively involved in amateur performances, writes music and words. With the help of a guitarist, bass player and drummer, he embodies his own punk-rock compositions on stage.

It is noteworthy that the group did not have full daily rehearsals before participating in the Minsk Festival of Musical Minorities. The participants met immediately before the event. After this festival in the "Teacher's House" the group began to work in an intensive mode, and already in 1994 a fateful meeting took place with Yevgeny Kalmykov, who later became the director of the group.

At that time, the group first received a fee for the performance and went on a debut tour with the Bambuki Theater (without leaving the borders of the republic) on a bus with a concert program "Conquest of Space".

A series of concerts, the Unknown Gagarin Film Festival (organized by artist Vasily Novitsky), performances on the same stage with famous rock bands (Chaif, Chufella Marzufella) led the Lyapisov to the idea of ​​recording a cassette.

In 1995, a recording was made from a concert at the "Alternative Theater", which was named "Lyubov kapets". The cassettes were released in the amount of one hundred pieces, of which less than half were sold. With the growing popularity of the group, the work was re-released, but already as "Wounded Heart".

In 1995, the composition of the group was as follows: Ruslan Vladyko (guitarist), Alexey Lyubavin (drummer), Valery Bashkov (bassist) and leader Sergei Mikhalok. A year later, the musical accompaniment in the collective was supplemented by a trumpet, violin, French horn and one more guitar (Yegor Dryndin, Vitaly Drozdov, Pavel Kuzyukovich, Alexander Rolov).

In 1996, at the suggestion of the head of Kompleksbank, Evgeny Kravtsov, the Lyapis signed up at the Mezzo Forte music studio. In June, at the rock music festival in the Gorky Park in Minsk, the band played the album "Wounded Heart". A furor was made by the composition "Lu-ka-shen-ko" (the motive is from the song "Bu-ra-ti-no"). The hit was not included in the list of songs on the album, but all two hundred copies of the cassettes were dismantled.

On October 4, 1996, the Lyapis Trubetskoy group presented to the public their second album, Smyarotnaye Veselle. The presentation took place in Minsk, in the House of Culture of Trade Unions. The concert recorded on cassette did not satisfy the soloist, but the recording is of high quality. The label is not listed on the cover. The hits "Kinula", "It's a pity that the sailor", "Pilot and Spring" appeared on the record.

The excitement around new rock idols has led to the emergence of opponents of their work. The press reacted sharply negatively. However, at the "Rock-Coronation-96" "Lapis" took away three awards: "Best Group of the Year", "Album of the Year" and "Best Author of the Year" (there were only four nominations). The awards provided Lyapisov with the title of “rock king”.

After a year there was no news about "Lyapis Trubetskoy", except for assumptions by the media about the creative crisis of Sergei Mikhalok. At this time, the group practically did not give concerts and did not release new material.

In 1997, the directors, as part of the "Bolek & Lelek" tandem, shot the first video for the group for the song "Au". The video shows photographs of the participants and animation from plasticine. A particularly recognizable hit of "Lapis" is the song "You Threw". In 1998, the group went on a tour within Belarus.

The popularity of the collective is growing rapidly in Russia. The storm of indignation among the Belarusian fans subsided. Later the album "Lapisdance" was released with remixes. It is interesting that Sergei Mikhalok himself did not take any part in the recording of the remixed tracks.

Then, with the support of the Soyuz studio with Yevgeny Kravtsov, an album with recordings from the archive of the Lyubov kapets: archive recordings group is released. The cover of "Green-eyed Taxi" (included in the album "Wounded Heart") gained great popularity on Russian radio stations, for which in 1999 the songwriter Oleg Kvasha caused a scandal.

In 1998 the album "Beauty" was released. It is impossible to guess his exact mood. However, how to define a single genre of compositions. After the presentation of the album "Lapis" continue to tour.

In the early 2000s, the Lyapis Trubetskoy group signed a contract with the Real Records studio, which is releasing the collection Heavy. But not all compositions were delighted. Some radio stations refused to air the songs "Alley" and "Druzhban". Later "Union" re-released the album "Beauty" with a different name - "All the girls like it", which included the hits "Love turned its back to me", "Grapevine" and a cover "My baby".

In 2001, the album "Youth" appeared. Later I had to part with Alexei Lyubavin. In his place was taken a new drummer - Alexander Starozhuk. 2003 was marked by the release of a large collection "Chyrvony underpants", a year later - "Golden Eggs" ("Rainka", "Postmen").

In 2004-2005, work continued on the next album, new compositions, and the soundtrack for the film "Men Don't Cry" was recorded. The material accumulated during this period became the content of the collection "Men Don't Cry", released in 2006. It includes songs that have gained popularity in a year ("Andryusha", "Hare"), and several soundtracks. By the way, the tracks from this album hit the charts ("Hare" on "Our Radio").

In 2006, bass-guitarist Dmitry Sviridovich left the band twice. Instead, Denis Sturchenko remained on this instrument. The album "Men Don't Cry" was renamed to "Capital". We can say that the collection is a debut in the style of socio-political satire. Until this time, "Lapis" did not touch on such topics, but the fans welcomed the new trend warmly.

Until 2011, the Lyapis Trubetskoy group continues its active creative activity. The song "Capital" became an absolute hit of the group, the video won the music charts. The group members were replaced (the founder Sergey Mikhalok remained unchanged), but the work never stopped. During this time, the compositions "Golden Antelope", "Manifest", "Rock-dolls" were written and released. Albums "Manifes", "Kultprosvet" were created.

In 2011, "Lapis" appeared in the list of groups, the mention of which is prohibited in the official media. And Mikhalok faced criminal punishment for incorrect statements about Lukashenka. But there was no sufficient reason to bring charges.

Until 2014, rock kings tour and give concerts on social topics. Tracks are being written ("Jester", "I believe", "I will steal you"), albums "Rabkor" (2012) and "Matryoshka" (2014) are released.

The collection "Matryoshka" caused conflicting reactions from the public and government officials. The Lyapisov concert halls were packed to capacity, but it happened that performances were canceled due to the content of the album (an insult to the Russian authorities).

In early spring 2014, Sergei Mikhalok announced that the Lyapis Trubetskoy rock group ceases to exist from the first day of autumn. Now there is the Trubetskoy project (initial composition: Pavel Bulatnikov, Ruslan Vladyko, Alexander Starozhuk and Alexander Myshknvich) and the new team of Sergey Mikhalok Brutto.

The Lyapis Trubetskoy collective has disintegrated since 2014 and did not give large-scale joint concerts. However, the ex-participants still perform their favorite hits.

On July 14, 2018, led by Pavel Bulatnikov, the Trubetskoy project promises an incendiary program in Kaliningrad with the inclusion of LT hits. The concert will take place as part of the FIFA Fan Fest.
