The first concert will take place on 19 July - the day when Michael died in SKK "Petersburg" in St. Petersburg and the second in SK "Olympic" on August 7 - the day when Gorshenev would have turned 45 years old.

In anticipation of these special concerts dedicated to the cult band and the legendary musician, Mesika had a little interview with Andrey Knyazev, a friend and colleague of Michael Gorsheneva.

The concerts promise to be rich in technical innovations. What would it be?

In the process of formation of the event concept came the idea to recreate the image of Michael as a hologram. With these items we previously have not had, and we decided to try! Now the work is almost completed, but I think it would be cool.

Regarding screens — I run I personally. Preparing a lot of interesting videos. Of course, light and sound will correspond to the scope of the event.

There is no evolution of punk. Punk — he is one. But post-punk is kind of an evolution. When the mixed style every different, it generates the appropriate branch.

Acoustic concerts, too, can be driving! And those who go, it is easy to confirm this.

Victims no no. I built my life so that I never had to make a choice between love and something else.

You recently released the single "Football Russia." How did the song? The idea was to write something for the championship or the song itself was born at a certain point?

The idea came on the eve of the Championship. I knew that I was going to watch all the matches, and if our team will fight, will be rooting for them. To write a song about the championship — meant creatively and emotionally to participate and support the tour.

At what stage in Your training an art exhibition?

At the creation stage, because it I want something else to finish, and something to restore or even to revive due to the loss of the originals.
