The first composition of the group quest pistols. Soloist of Quest Pistols Mariam Turkmenbayeva - biography

The experiment of the incendiary participants in the Quest ballet turned into a real sensation. Today, the songs of the Quest Pistols Show group become hits in a matter of days, but before their first performance, no one could have imagined that the April Fool's performance of three young and outrageous dancers would grow into a major project with its own philosophy.

History of creation and composition

The biography of the group began in 2007 with the dance ballet Quest. The band members decided to do something extravagant and act as pop stars by recording a cover called "I'm tired" of the song "Long and lonesome road" by Shocking Blue.

The Ukrainian team made its debut in the Chance project on the Inter TV channel. The first performance of the newly minted group took place on April 1, 2007, it was well received by the public: more than 60 thousand people voted for the song.

Initially, the group consisted of three young guys. One of them - Konstantin Borovsky - was fond of dancing from adolescence. He moved to the capital of Ukraine and took up a popular direction at that time - breakdancing. In Kyiv, his vocal career began in the Quest Pistols group.

Nikita Gordyuk

Another participant was Nikita Gordyuk: a dancer and singer who was born in a border town between the Russian Federation and China. From early childhood, the boy attended figure skating classes and dreamed of achieving the title of world champion. The young man became a father at the age of 14.

And the final trio - whose parents hoped for the academic future of their son. But, as a teenager, the young man became interested in dancing, considering his idol. Despite the disagreement of his parents, the young man still took up what he was attracted to.

In this composition, the group lasted until mid-2011, after which Borovsky left the team, and Daniil Matseychuk took his place. He was a member of the Quest ballet when he invited the young man to the group. The young man stayed at Quest Pistols for almost two years, after which he left.

In April 2014, the team was rebranded: the line-up was replenished with three new members. The first of the "newcomers" was Washington Salles, who began dancing at the age of 14. In Russia, Salles collaborated with many domestic celebrities.

The next was Ivan Krishtoforenko, who became interested in dancing from an early age - at the age of 4. Paying special attention to hip-hop, he repeatedly became the winner in competitions in this direction.

And the third member of the renewed team was Mariam Turkmenbayeva, who had previously been a member of the Quest ballet. The girl worked in the group before the rebranding as a backup dancer and choreographer.

In September 2015, Matseychuk returned to the renewed line-up and became a permanent member. Very soon after his return, Nikita Gordyuk left the group, followed by Anton Savlepov. With their departure, the history of the Quest Pistols group ended and the era of the Quest Pistols Show began.

Music

Shortly after the band's debut on the TV project "Chance", a video was released for the song "I'm tired", which immediately got into rotation on music channels. The debut album entitled "For You", which received a platinum certification in terms of the number of sales, was presented by the band at the end of November 2007.

The next loud statement from Quest Pistols was a cover of the song "White Dragonfly of Love". The video for this track was released in the spring of 2009 and became a hit on YouTube. Moreover, the song was played on almost every radio station, and the video was shown on many music TV channels.

The performers continued to develop and in the fall of 2009 they presented their second studio album called "Superklass". With the release of new "catchy" tracks, the band's popularity gained momentum.

An interesting fact from the biography of the group: young people have repeatedly applied for participation in the international Eurovision Song Contest, but never made it to the qualifying round of the competition.

From the beginning of the summer of 2013 until April of the following year, the group toured as part of 2 soloists: Savlepov and Gordyuk. They also had a mysterious masked member in their company. In October 2014, the premiere of the video for the song took place, which at one time blew up all the charts: "Santa Lucia" - a cover of the track by Igor Seliverstov.

The debut in the new format of the dance show took place on November 15, 2014, with which the participants went on world tours. This show was based on the dance philosophy of the performers, which in the future led to the format of the show project and the name change to "Quest Pistols Show".

In the first mini-album of the renewed band, tracks were released that determined its new genre: club and incendiary house music.

A little later, the group had a big solo performance "Unlike Concert", where the debut studio album "Lubimka" was presented, the first in the discography of the renewed team.

In 2016, Quests recorded a track with the Open Kids group called "Coolest of all", which later became the soundtrack of the TV show of the same name.

Today, the songs and composition of the Quest Pistols Show group are known to everyone who is at least a little interested in modern domestic show business.

But in 2007, no one could have thought that the April Fool's performance-prank of three young and outrageous dancers with the composition "I'm tired" would grow into a mega project - the Quest Pistols Show group, which regularly changes its concept, but does not lose popularity.

Group Quest Pistols Show 2018. New composition, relevant for today.

About all members of the Quest Pistols Show group

The history of the group began in 2004. It was then that choreographers Anton Savlepov, Konstantin Borovsky and Nikita Goryuk founded the Quest Pistols dance group. They defined their style as "aggressive-intelligent-pop". The guys performed quite successfully in front of the Kyiv public, but there was no talk of real popularity yet. Then the producer Yuri Bardash sent Anton and Nikita to vocal lessons, and Borovsky was assigned the role of rapper.

The breakthrough occurred on April 1, 2007, on the Chance project, broadcast by the Inter TV channel, a cover of Long and Lonesome Road by the Dutch band Shocking Blue sounded. The performance instantly received 60 thousand messages in support, and the composition "I'm tired" occupied the first positions of the main domestic charts for a long time.

In September of the same year, in Belgium, the Pistols performed the "Dance Against Poison" program in support of a healthy lifestyle. Many do not believe, but "quests" do not consume alcohol and nicotine, and actively promote vegetarianism. Also, they do not listen to club music and do not visit cereal establishments.

The success of the guys from Quest Pistols was overwhelming. They did not have time to give interviews, and their photos constantly flashed in Russian and Ukrainian glossy tabloids. In 2011, fans were alarmed by the unpleasant news that Anton Savlepov was leaving the team, but this information was soon refuted. Around the same time, Konstantin Borovsky announced a change in status and a transition from soloists to curators, and another participant joined the guys - Daniel Joy (Daniil Matseychuk).

In 2013, Kostya Borovsky and Matseychuk left QP to create the boy band KBDM. Despite the fact that critics began talking about a creative crisis, the Quick Pistols continued to tour as a couple, and soon an incognito masked participant joined them.

Initially conceived as a trio, the group has grown to five members in 2014. Washington Salles, as well as Ivan Krishtoforenko and Mariam Turkmenbayeva joined the team. Soon Daniil Matseychuk returned to the team. But the main laurels still belonged to the trio of founders: Goryuk, Savlepov and Borovsky, and the newcomers remained behind the scenes for some time. And only when an updated title appeared and the group received a new name Quest Pistols Show, information began to appear about a change in concept and sound.

Today, the team prioritizes a high-quality visual image, vivid images and choreography honed to perfection. The opposite images of the participants create the impression of a dance battle, but despite the unusual format, the new tracks turn out to be very harmonious and memorable.

To date, Quest Pistols has three full-length albums in its luggage

• In 2007 - "For you";
• In 2009 - "Superklass",
• In 2017 - "Lubimka".

The team is the owner of the Golden Gramophone and MTV Europe Music Awards. "QP" has repeatedly submitted an application for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest: once from Russia and twice from Ukraine. In 2009, the selection failed due to the fact that the composition "White Dragonfly of Love" was already being broadcast on radio and TV in violation of the rules. In 2010, the group applied for participation in Eurovision in Oslo with the song "I am your drug", but the guys failed to get into the list of finalists. In 2011, another unsuccessful attempt was made.

Hits of Quest Pistols

The next hit after the sensational cover "I'm tired" was the composition "White Dragonfly of Love", which collected a record number of views on Youtube video hosting. Interestingly, at the very beginning of the creative path, the pop trio's repertoire consisted of only 3-4 songs, and this was clearly not enough for full-fledged concerts. The guys found a simple way out: first, "Pistols" rocked the hall with their dance numbers for about half an hour, and then performed the songs they had in stock.

By 2007, the repertoire expanded, and the debut album "For You" saw the light of day. Almost all the texts were written by the leader of the musical group "Dymna Sumish" Alexander Chemerov under the pseudonym of Izolda Chetkhi. The only composition of the period 2007-2012, written by another author, is "White Dragonfly of Love" by the novice musician Nikolai Voronov. Works of later years are written by the soloist of the group Nikita Goryuk.

The list of other well-known hits of the Quest Pistols Show group includes the compositions “Days of Glamor”, “Cage”, “He's Near”, “Revolution”, “I'm Your Drug” and “You're So Beautiful”. Thanks to them, the album "For You" received gold status in Ukraine.

In 2011, the first line-up change took place, and Daniil Matseychuk took the place of Borovsky, who took part in the recording of such video works as "Different", "Romeo", Let's Forget Everything" and "You've Lost Weight" (with Lolita Milyavskaya). Around the same moment, Anton Savlepov wanted to leave the team, but after the release of the video “You are so beautiful,” he changed his mind.

In early 2014, popular tabloids increasingly began to write that the team was in a creative crisis. At the same time, Nikita Goryuk released his solo track "White Bride". Many predicted that the group would cease to exist. But Goryuk and Savlepov continued to tour together, presenting the new single "Baby boy" to the public. And a little later they appeared to the public in a completely new role and introduced new participants. The presentation of the new line-up was marked by the release of a cover of Igor Siliverstov's 1992 composition "Santa Lucia".

On November 15, 2014, with the premiere of the Quest Pistols Show, the band went on a world tour. The concept of the show became the basis of the new philosophy of the group, which later led the Quest Pistols group to the format of a show project performing dance, club house music.

On November 13, the premiere of the video with the solo performance of Mariam Turkmenbayeva "The Alien" took place, and on December 31, returning Daniil Matseychuk (Daniel Joy) presented the clip "We Know for Sure".

In April 2016, at the premiere of the video "Dissimilar", fans saw the group in the format in which it performs to this day. On September 1, a new video “Toughest of all” was released, and in October the team performed at a large-scale solo “Unlike Concert” and presented their first album “Lubimka” with a renewed line-up.

The audience enthusiastically accepted the new compositions of the Quest Pistols show, which focuses on the quality of the choreography. And despite the fact that the vocal component still does not reach the level of the “pistols” of the first line-up, the members promise the fans to keep their former provocative and slightly vulgar style and make their live performances no less bright than before.

Yuri was born on February 23, 1983 in the city of Alchevsk, in the Luhansk region of Ukraine. In 2000, Yura became seriously interested in dancing in the style of breakdancing, and in the future young man, the successes he achieved in this matter came in handy. It is noteworthy that he was engaged in the local club "Search", that is, "Quest" in English.

After leaving school, not wanting to follow the beaten path: to the army, then to the factory, Yuri decided to move from a provincial town to Kyiv. In order not to be left without bread, Yura danced on the Maidan, where he earned about 30 hryvnia per performance - not bad money at that time.

As the producer admitted in an interview, in many ways his fate was decided by a chance acquaintance with the frontman of the Force dance group Nikita "Bumper" Goryuk, the future lead singer of the Quest Pistols group.

Ballet "Quest"

A year after the move, he became responsible for the cast for the musical Equator. Around the same time, he met Konstantin Borovsky, a dancer in the Antishock group. Subsequently, young people created their own dance group, in which Anton Savlepov came to try out, whom Yuri himself once called the genius of breakdance. In this composition, the team presented the program "Chance", which gained popularity throughout Ukraine.

Quest Pistols era

It all started with the fact that the dancers Nikita, Kostya and Anton - expressive and charismatic people - one day decided that it was time to move in a new direction. This task was hung on the shoulders of Yuri Bardash, who came up with the thought: “Why shouldn’t ballet become singers?”

No sooner said than done: in 2007, by common efforts, the guys found a talented girl who wrote their first lyrics and music, and began performing under the name Quest Pistols.

After the debut in the program "Chance" with the song "I'm tired", which in the near future conquered all Ukrainian and Russian charts, the group rapidly gained popularity among pop music fans, and their first album "For You" received gold status. “I am a producer, a hunter for smart heads. One of my main tasks is to recognize talent and attract it to cooperation. I combine brilliant people in action, and they give out a brilliant product, ”Yura admitted.

The group was liked even by the People's Artist of Ukraine Natalya Mogilevskaya, who invited Quest Pistols to the national music festival "Tavria Games".

It is worth noting that Bardash is one of the founders of the Ukrainian label "Lace", which shoots videos and promotes pop stars. The producer considers Kuzma Skryabin and Ivan Shapovalov to be his “mentors”, on whom you can safely navigate. Previously, he also worked with the Nerves group,

Yuri Bardash and "Mushrooms"

In one of the most popular groups of 2016-2017, Bardash is not only a producer: under the auspices of the Mushrooms project, the 33-year-old former dancer first appeared as a performer.

Mushrooms: how it all began

For the first time, Yura appeared in the video "Intro", after the first minute of the video. Bardash chose the image of a cheeky shaven-headed guy in sunglasses, squatting. In addition to Yuri, the Mushrooms group consists of Ukrainian rappers 4atty aka Tilla and Symptom NZHN.

Due to his extensive work experience, Bardash knows how to attract an audience: “Mushrooms” is hip-hop music with plain but sarcastic lyrics. The fans, who dubbed the group a mixture of "Krovostok" and the group "Khleb", believe that the "Mushrooms" may well perform on some Golden Gramophone", given the phenomenal popularity of their debut album "Mobile Home, Part 1" and especially the tracks " Bicycle" and "The ice is melting".
