Their particular design and stage existence gained them a trustworthiness of founders of a fresh genre — “ironic rock and roll”. non-sensical realities from the everyday living in the Soviet Union had been projected in to the noisy, choppy sound and vocals which range from opera bass towards the high-pitched screams and whispers. To them, music described the approach to life and the approach to life produced music — that is why their users are known by their funny-sounding alias and what which come to brain while hearing their music are “circus”, “carnival”, “absurd” and “burlesque”.

Despite their organic sound similar to Russian folk topical ointment music with racy lyrics, their energy and originality allowed these to enter Leningrad Rock and roll Membership in 1988.
