Rustavelli – b. 17.06.1978 (lyrics, texts, reading, background, ideas, concept, design)

„Красное Дерево” – b. 02.11.1982

They broke onto the Russian music platform and made a revolution. Their music is brave and rattling mix of hip-hop, courtyard singing, psychedelic music of the 60-ies and toughness that is on the borderline with cruelty of the 90-ies. They are brutal, but at the same time lyric. It is a unique project that does not have alike on the Russian stage.

The founding date of the group is being considered November 15, 1998. Already the name of the group emphasizes some kind of understatement, suggestiveness and eternal self-questing. Artistic, personal and philosophical searches...

Such a message can be read not only in the texts of the band and their music, but also in the style that the band has chosen. Clothing of the band members is black – leather jackets, trousers, shoes – everything in black. It is being explained as follows: „Black colour tunes a person to more full perception of the lyrics – people attention is not distracted with colours. They are listening to the message which we pass to them with our songs. Black and white colours are eternal.”

Philosophy of the group

„Dots – it is a phenomenon that rules the power of thoughts. I am explaining: for instance, when reading prose or poetry one will always meet up with dots. You have to understand and consider everything yourself. It is like Jim Morrison has said: „Poetry has to open doors, but which one to go through – you have to decide yourself. Everyone chooses his own doors.” The same way also DOTS is something, which open doors to your consciousness, but the ones to go through, the ones to stay behind and the ones not to go through at all – it is a personal choice of everyone. Secondly, DOTS is that what remain after death. NO ONE is 100 % aware, what will follow after death and will anything follow at all?! And should there follow anything?! Listen to and listen into our texts, because we are searching for answers to these questions. We are DOTS. We talk about things beyond the depths of consciousness, beyond burden of comprehension, beyond lies and world system that we are living in.”
