Name history

Why, in fact, "Tractor Bowling", and not in some other way? The name was invented by two creative guys: guitarist Sanya Kondrat and Kostya Clark, who occasionally played drums in one of the bands. In their fantasies, the idea of a new sport was born - track racing on tractors knocking down giant skittles - bottles of B altika. The letter "K" is a symbol of tractor belonging to a sports, not a classic type. In English, the word "tractor" is written as tractor.

Start

"Tractor Bowling" began its history in 1996. Like many domestic rock musicians, they had to go their own wayThrough hardship to the stars. The group was able to release the first album only six years later, although they gave their debut concert in the fall of 1996. He was remembered by the participants and spectators not from the best side. Then Dmitry came on the stage for the only time, playing today the bass guitar in the "Dew Point" group. From him came rage and aggression towards the audience, which was hard not to notice Vitaly Kettler, who was a witness to the concert that evening. Later, he became a member of the Traktor Bowling group.

A time to live

After parting with Dmitry, the group moved away from hardcore and the musicians made a new concert program called "Time to Live". The songwriter was Sergey Nikishin, and the performer was Andrey Che Guevara. It was a mixture of heavy guitar music and recitative. In 1997, the group recorded two songs and gave concerts in Moscow clubs. A year later, "Tractor Bowling" went to the St. Petersburg club "Polygon", where they played together with the Moldavian team. There, the band members were able to give their first interview.

Kettler

"Tractor Bowling" often performed on the same stage with the "Mata Gona" team. The group played bassist Kettler, who visited the concert "Tractors". The team was looking for a person to fill the bass position, and Kettler left Mata Gon. The new bassist was nicknamed Vitamin. With his arrival, the group changed their style to an alternative, the songs "Tractor Bowling" acquired a more melodicsound and greater emotionality, new sounds and arrangements appeared. Che Guevara changed speech to vocals and began writing lyrics with Vitamin.
