The Oz

Питерская группа "Оркестр ЗАЧЕМ", записала несколько политических и малоизвестных песен Джона Леннона. Сначала планировалась запись этих песен на русском языке, и компания EMI была не против, но когда запись шла к концу, вдруг передумала и запретила их переводить. Пришлось петь их по английски, после этого как-то нелепо было представлять эту программу с русским названием группы, было решено найти удобное для англоязычных слушателей название, которое сложилось из первых букв коллектива, кроме того у Джона есть несколько песен, с похожими названиями: "Do The Oz" и "God Save The Oz".

Iamthemorning

iamthemorning is a neo-classical vocal indie band from Russia. Full band consists of piano, vocals, guitar, bass-guitar, drums and string quartet and sounds like prog-rock with arrangements, influenced by Russian Classical Music heritage and various ethnic motifs. The sound may vary, as the band can play both acoustic sets (grand piano, vocals, string quartet) - and then it turns to fragile neo-classical (thought, rather gloomy) collective, and prog-rockish sets when fragility of neo-classical concept is being empowered by sophisticated rhythm section and jazzy guitar.
