After succesfull start they`ve found out that music needs a voice, and the band neds THE singer... They said it was just a good luck, that Diana Polenova at the moment was looking for a they`ve found each other by mutual demands. With a new member Anton Habibulin joined the band in 2007, the search has been completed, and a spice of rock-guitar which he`s brought into the sound, just took the right place in that perfect blend... These modern people who met in the right moment at the right place are now playing their own music all over the world and recording the debut album in Moscow. It`s promising to be tasty...
