A group of "pilgrim": history, composition, songs

In the musical firmament of stars come and go into oblivion at the speed of light. Changing audience favorite styles, images, and with them the perpetrators. But there are those that are remembered if not for its songs, then at least personality, special style and unusual sound. These include a Russian rock band “pilgrim” – the team with an unusual destiny and extraordinary work.

About the group. Creation history

It is Difficult to give an exact date of birth of the group. Its permanent soloist Andrey Kovalev was the founder of the University Symphony orchestra in 1975. Student group “pilgrim” did not last long and was forgotten until 1987. Andrey Kovalev creates a new group with the name and style of the previous. First album - "confessions of a selfish”.

In 1989, the group went on tour in Italy. The country fascinates children, and they ask for political asylum. The Italian authorities have not denied, but at home, in the USSR, "the Pilgrims" are marginalized. Waiting for their first international scandal, and then oblivion. Group “pilgrim” becomes prohibited. But when the star of the rockers was almost gone, the fate (or frontman) decides that “pilgrim” should be back on the firmament of Russian rock.

After 16 years, Andrey Kovalev once again re-creates the group, leaving the name and the concept. In the town of Pushkin for a bike show going on first mini-concert. It is worth saying that the biker theme is one of the main on a couple of Patriotic. But more on that below.
