"Kruiz" is a group that has a Soviet origin and continues to create in Russia today. The team plays in various styles, including hard rock. The most famous songs include such works as "Listen, man" and "Music of the Neva".

History

"Cruise" - a group that was created in 1980. The initiators were the musicians of the VIA "Young Voices". The idea was supported by the head of the ensemble Matvey Anichkin.

But Cruise is a group whose repertoire is seriously different from the work of the Young Voices association. The team included: Vsevolod Korolyuk, Alexander Kirnitsky, Valery Gaina, Sergey Sarychev, Alexander Monin. According to some sources, Maxim Ali participated in the group.

Created in 1980, the team recorded an album called "The Spinning Top". Valery Gaina acted as the main author of music in this work. The main creator of the texts is Valery Sautkin.

The group approved the chosen style - rock became it. The tape album was widely distributed throughout the country. In 1982, the group performed for the first time in Moscow and gained great popularity in the capital. In the same timean album called "Listen, man" is coming out.

At the end of this year, Grigory Bezugly, the second guitarist, joined the Cruise. Soon Oleg Kuzmichev took the place of the bass player. Nikolai Chunosov becomes the new drummer.

In the summer of 1984, the Cruise was disbanded according to the decision of the Ministry of Culture. Nikolai Chunosov, Oleg Kuzmichev, Grigory Bezugly and Alexander Monin organized a group called "EVM". The first disc received the outrageous name "Hello, madhouse." Valery Gaina and Alexander Kirnitsky invited Vsevolod Korolyuk to take the place of the drummer. Rehearsals and work on a new experimental album soon began.

The 1985 album "KiKoGaVVA" turned out to be unlike the rest of the group's work. At that time there were 3 musicians in the band. When this work was released on CD, it was supplemented with three songs by Valery Gaina. Thanks to these compositions, the authorities allowed the team to return the name. The press reported that the group was preparing a concert program.
