DVA SAMALYOTA are playing again.
-
Seems like the semi-legendary St.Petersburg band "Dva Samalyota", which had
been inactive for more than half a year, has started playing again. The only
detail is that the band replaced their vocalist and frontman
Vadik, with whom most people used to associate the "D.S."
The new vocalist is another rock-n-roll veteran, Sologub
("Strange Games"). Stylistically,
"D.S." haven't changed all that much, except that there's no pseudo-swahili
vocals that had always distinguished them.
