about

The idea of forming the band was generated by both singer and bass player Murat Kashirgov in 1997 in the town of Nalchik, when together with a guitarist Alim Nastaev he played his own material along the lines, playing as well in the main line-up of the “Prize” group later on to perform with him at a town jam session. A year later on arrival to Moscow they formed a band with Nalchik musicians: — a drummer Valery Lysenko (ex “Airplane”), and a keyboard player Raff Baziev (ex “Rag Time”), and organized a band entitled “Grail Castle” which recorded 5 tracks in studio during a year period of its existence, performed several gigs and split due to the reasons far from being of any musical character.... By the end of 2000 Kashirgov together with Lysenko and Vladimir Kochetkov resumed rehearsals and studio activity in a band called “Arteria” (initially “Art-area” originated from the English “territory of art”). Later on a bass player Roman Meshkov joined the band. With this line-up the group has recorded 7 songs and performed several gigs in Moscow clubs. In 2002 the line-up changed – a bass player Slava Antonets joined the band, afterwards the brand new material was recorded in Ross-records studios, then a long pause in the band’s activity took place. In summer of 2003 MK jointly with an accordion player Aslan Dudar, and a trumpet player Anzor Uvizhev recorded a song called “Autumn Blues” as an experiment in attempt to combine folklore instruments sound with contemporary pop rock
