Artist History Belarus, as well as many other countries of the former Soviet Union cannot boast of having a well-developed musical industry, the majority of bands here (no matter whether it’s a good or a bad one) die before recording even a demo. Each year the names of the groups included in the bill of some Minsk night club change: new names appear and the majority of the already familiar to some people, interested in Minsk musical movements, bands stop their existance. And only some bands still can be heard on stages of the clubs as they were some three or four years ago.One of such groups is LONG PLAY - the band wich appeared about four years ago and is still enjoyed by the visitors of the city clubs. “That might be because of our “long-playing” name,”-that’s the way the guys comment on their unusual (for Minsk) long existance. During this period of time the band hasn’t gained much: the guys were interviewed several times for Minsk news-papers, some three or four times their faces appeared on the Belarussian national channel, once they won a musical festival (which gave them no benefits at all), one of their songs can still be heard on the national radio. The only fact that inspires the members of the band is that by the end of this year their first album has to be finished. With the help of internet you have the possibility to listen to some songs, that have already been recorded and mixed by the bands sound producer, and to enjoy the originality oftheir music which has absorbed the beauty of belarussian folk melodies together with the modern musical trends.
