Andrei Knyazev ("The King and the Clown"): "Because we're a girl jumped out the window!"

It is thought that punk rock - it's true, is not glorified and unkempt. Plus aggression. In addition, some irony. This is the "King and the Clown." Petersburg group leader Prince (born Andrei Knyazev) and pot (Michael Gorshenev) not only play, but also to maintain a rock. Musicians include two club - in St. Petersburg and Vyborg. A few days after the interview with Prince took me to the first of them - called "Old House" ("Night snipers" Diana Arbenina once his birthday celebrated there.) Perhaps the most interesting - behind the scenes of the house, painted completely sexually mystical Drawings Knyazev wrote, "Boulevard". A few days later the club closed. - Andrew, Peter similarities with Kiev visible? - Not really. As for me is more like Kiev to Moscow. Metropolitan city. Although Petersburg is known as the second capital, but Moscow still brighter. And Peter - that is a little more mysterious, mysterious. - Creation of "King and the Clown" fully absorbed St. Pete mystique. Speaking of your team a lot of controversy: Some say that you are realistic, others - that the good storytellers, and others claim that your work - complete darkness. - I myself am not able to appreciate it, but I feel we are on the right track. Our true path! We have always done everything intuitively. The more debate, the better. - But the aggressive attitude is still there? - Of course, we can not do without aggression. This is mainly due to the protest. - Protest Against what? - I do not tend to push a finger into someone. I'm trying to find the cause in itself. It fumbling. - Sometimes indulges in his own glory? - Why roll? Glory I just uplifting. "Kish" - a group whose work is not imposed on the media. We do not impose anything. - What kind of penalties? - In Russia - all pop. It is a whole different story. Impose as for rock music, everything played on television. Here is the "Mummy Troll" imposed one year. Then Zemfirku. Now, a group of "Animals" ... Although not. Rock music and every means to impose impossible. You can just pop. Artists that control the way not always the possibility of your PR. Scheme, because they do not think, but show business. - Sharpened Unlike many of its members in your work as a confrontation between good and evil. - This is always true. As Alexander Nevsky ... Like. "I'm glad that everyone who comes to us, but who comes with a sword, he will die." Some believe it. Neither good nor bad But personally, I think if you know what you and the other to do in a hurry - it's good. If not in a hurry - so evil. - It is often performed Alexander Nevsky on the principle of? - Since my childhood, I'm counting on it. In a fight always miss the first beat, and then paint a mine. Regardless of whether or not a strong opponent. True, fight me now no longer necessary. - And before that? - In school I often fought. I remember as a child wanted to be like Lenin. Delivered me the whole time. And I wanted, as Lenin. Lenin was in fact the first man in the Soviet Union N "As a child afraid of the dark corners And even now, when I'm in the dark, I have an inexplicable feeling that they look at me." - Remember that singer "HIM" - the famous Finnish rock band - who as a child was not strong, and as so often in school - an outcast, said the school encourages violence. Therefore it is necessary to make three first-class education. - Fully agree with him! School - is an incubator. A person will be brought individually. I'm not with the idea that everyone dress alike, to think one thing and say agree. I. Myself always as an independent artist, so that the school did not need me at all Once we understand what., A new teacher, a member of the Academy of Arts Looking at me, she said: "I am in your eyes I see something." Talent is as found in the first place through the eyes of ... I began to go their professional study painting. True, it took a little while, I soon her job boring. - After school, he studied somewhere? - We Pot studied at the Leningrad School of recovery. There have been introduced. Now it is is probably called a "college". I went there because they failed in the art school contest. A pot - quite clear why. He was a little drawing. Now, it seems, has his parents and there. When we met, we had only one wish - to become a punk rocker. - In an interview you once admitted that mystical motives arise from a childhood spent her poems ... - ... In the village Golubkova Kaluga region. - What: mystical place, where the situation? - Here's a pancake! There were, of course! Only now, unfortunately, nothing hilarious not occur. But I can be sure that I was inspired to tell. In our village there was an old wooden house where I live used to be a old countess. We hang out there at night. The house is constantly heard strange traits as ghosts go. - The song "Damned Old House" inadvertently inspired by these memories? - No, it's a new song. Although ... Inspired, yes! Inspired! There's even a verse I wrote at the time: In the overgrown park under the oaks an old house. Windows are all clogged, and the darkness reigns eternally therein. And this place page bypasses rural population. Superstitious and say, "living ghosts." - Sad sight. - Oh! I floated an interesting episode. His friends, especially the girls, I wanted to put in a special state! - In what way? - Well, the scare normally ... At first I thought, to keep dough round face, but realized that clay does not stick to the face. Then I had an idea to stick with adhesive clay, but I quickly discarded without their own experiments. Finally, I thought of something else: cutting paper mask for face shape, which already obleplival tone. When I started modeling, and I have a great work out. I draw from my childhood. Incidentally, all clearance "Kish" I moved. With all this, I will tell you that I am living in a mystic, but a realistic person. But removal of the outer and inner world. - In the otherworldly forces, demons, ghosts do? - Of course I! I'm interested. I believe in the imagination, you know! In what still exists have dragons! I believe in a good mood leprikonov in vampires and werewolves! Also, if city dwellers come to the village, it is immersed in a different world. Night forest, and you are alone or with someone ... Side of the river ... Then you realize how big of nature, as it is not you know! Let us know how it suits them. And in fact, we know nothing. (More and more away. Implemented) Well! I told you nedorasskazal over the house! I shaped mask and realized that it was cool. It was a monster ... Really. It was an old, old grandfather. Gloomy. I chose his grandfather sorts jacket, took the boots, stick, piece of wood behind him, like the hump ... Of any kind of unreal monsters I had not distinguished. Not like a bum and polumertvets! If I had made a perfect scent, perfectly normally! The first person I showed my shuganul sestruha Fine, who swarmed at this time only in the garden. When I am in a way, put it out of there as the wind blew! Gradually into the role of a monster, I was an abandoned park, Countess walk. Went alone. It was scary, Twilight ... So I did not just go there. But since I'm a monster, fear not. And then began to make forays into the world. It was fun. - And the people? - It is not without my two companions, who had been on the bushes. I've done the whole village to the ears! Girls and fear! You have five days in fear that there was a monster living in the village. Moreover, in good shape, I had always advertised. Hanging out at the beach, said: "Today is the legend, the dead day of the uprising." - Look, Andrew, you are afraid of anything in life? - As a child afraid of the dark corners. And even now, when I'm in the dark, I have a strange feeling, as if you were me. Very unpleasant. All these fears are most pronounced in the dream. Emotions intensify. I'm a little familiar with the matter. - Are you able to decipher dreams? - Can your dreams. I always know what is what dreams the dream ... - Saw ever dreams that predict your fame? - I once in the City of the Gods. In a place where reality was never on the ground because there are not likely. But maybe it exists or existed a long time ago. Huge walls are covered with mosaics, sculptures, hanging on each page of the Hindu gods ... There, and demons, and horny, and the saints and prophets. And they all look great: in gold, with diamonds. All the splendor grew up in this town. We went there on tour to play a concert. I even believe that such a place is somewhere on the ground. Since it's my dream. "The most terrible thing - female solidarity" - I wonder what you read? - I love to read a lot. Just do not read. - How is it? - That is, before reading it, of course ... You see, I have this garbage: I'm more of a reader than a writer. When I read, I want to write. Literature that I took was of such a nature as yoga. Calculated only on the understanding of the European readers - as Osho, for example. - Sam never done yoga? - Knitted. Just Yoga and dedicated. - Sleeping on the nails? - No-ee. It is a wrong notion. Now I will explain. Religion is: the ability to give people the knowledge of the existence of something else. A yoga - is the other. The basic meaning of yoga - are not to stay, to go a little ... A man in constant search. - What helps you to search for creative? - Feeling demand. In it, I never had any doubts. Even though "The King and the Clown" is nothing of itself is not represented in terms of popularity, I knew that we achieve it. - Often artists are truly alone. - Well, it's only star. At work, there are two kinds of people: the creators and stars. - You - Star? - I - not a star. I am no longer an employee, engaged in creative work. Never himself to the rank of poet, painter, composer. Composers - in fact, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. But I do not. Star of the same - this is a man, the other form. At some point, you suddenly are in! (Raise your hands up) brilliant! But I am among the stars do not even belong. - Who do you think is? - Freddie Mercury, Marilyn Monroe ... They lived a different life, not cut. It - on the top of a skyscraper, he - the other. There, at the top, very lonely. - Yourself, is not alone. Do you have a person with the delishsya everything? - I have developed for the life that is always such a person. Also, I can not - at least, before he could - the invisible spread each. - About all in a row? - A Th! I have nothing! I just strive after, people from black and white in life, burdened conduct problems. Select the people peculiar medicine. But worst of all, when I do need it. In such moments, my state is able to understand not everyone. - And then - depression? - Depression, I'll start with the loss of a loved one. The last time was with the dog. This case is mainly due to animals. Rats, dogs, parrots ... - And how is your love life stack up? Married? - I have a civil ceremony. And of course my wife from another sphere. - Why "of course"? - Two creative rights are compatible only in rare cases. In a creative family, usually a lot of confusion. Two builders bear chaos. Therefore, a brain may be present. My wife happy horses employed. You riders on the track running. But not in racing and jumping over obstacles involved. Jumping is called. They way, soon the competition. - Consider found his ideal? - It's hard to talk about ideals because they do not exist. Generally never happens, what you dream about. Never. Because the world is not fit you. But think about the ideal would be. And to want. - A woman was able to live your life? - Change lovers - not so much about me. Although God knows. People change. At 15, you're the one in 20 - Other 30 - the third ... And that it be 40? - On the way is hard to be faithful? - It is difficult, but possible. - And once folded opportunity is extremely difficult, is not it? - No ... If a person is not in, then nalamyvaet ... We are free people in this regard ... But the other person that I did not make her goal. And not very much, as he is a target. - Breaks down to the end: The children do you have? - I love children! But its not yet. - Who wants to be more like: a boy or a girl? - Both. First - the boy. Do you know why? Because the worst thing - is female solidarity. If they united against you. I saw it in the pot. His wife and daughter ... Daughter copied the mother. Me some fun watching. But if the Bears suddenly the family court grater turns out to take his girlfriends arms against him. - Andrew, in your free time, you will probably prefer the silence ... - In him I have rarely, only after severe congestion. I wish to retire is not unique. The move away from everything else, it's enough to make the nest and begin to a new song. By the way, I'm always scattered all at home. - A girl your collection? - My stuff nobody cleaned. When I began to irritate the very mess, I clean it. But do not think that I am a bad life! I'm in the army. And the duty to correct, and wash the floors. - Worked in the music industry is not? - As part of a paintbrush. Along with the pot. We completed Restoration School as a painter. Worked at the Hermitage. The Hermitage of St. Petersburg! I say it with pride! Handyman. Brushes, rollers, loading and unloading ... - Not have never broken anything? - It's just not what it was, it's you! Durakovalyanie the full program! I remember once our former bassist handmade paper shade in half of our growth. And thus went into the dining room. It was my idea. I said. "Are we ever going to go on stage to strematsya, should now appear in public in an unusual form." - I would not say that you are now so visually arresting. - Well, I have not set myself a task constantly. Go as on the stage quietly. But the first steps were not easy. "POT CALLING Kozyreva motherfucker, because his actions with respect to our outrage." - On stage, you really are in a different perspective And cosmetics use ... - Yes, it happens. But it is only in Moscow and St. Petersburg. On the road - no. We have not yet reached the big shows in cities such as Kiev. I want to do in Kiev nice full solo album, not chesovy. - What, in your view, "Kishu" not enough? - Currently, the lyrical side of creativity. We moved away from him a little, and I want to return it. "The King and the Clown" with no lyrics - this is not "The King and the Clown." Where aggression and swords should be soft. We have released an acoustic album. I want to write something else in the same direction. - It seems that you composed in the night, in a romantic setting. - I'm writing at home and collected on tour experiences. You're right, with the composition of the song I associate romance, night, a cozy table, the moon looks out the window ... But for me, the best - writing in the bathroom. - Take a bath while composing? - Yes! - And to sing in my heart? - Yeah, yeah ... The question here is not even in the bath, and the noise of the water. There are not zastakanitsya thoughts, stimulates their movement. Very inspiring! - Listen, I think you are not unlike many musicians suffer from nervousness. - Responsibility means more to them than me. - I think that is not less than the same "Ocean Elzy"? Vakarchuk undoubtedly a talented man, but somehow emotionally ... - If I knew better Vakarchuk, perhaps would understand what the problem is his nervousness. And I myself do not like to go wild. I hate it when mad at me. Hysterical, such as an infection, immediately passed from one to another. I immediately begin to attack these people. - How? - Call it, to warn that erupt now. And then begins. In general, by nature I am not a thug. - To increase the popularity of scandals greet? - We are what we are, what they are loved. Although artificial scandal - is also interesting. However, no conflict, we can not do. Here and Kozyrev (Mikhail Kozyrev - CEO "Nashe Radio." - ES) cursed. - About what? - Pot at the last concert in Moscow said that Kozyrev - pidaras. - To tell you the truth? - No ... Or rather, I do not know. The word "pidaras" is ambiguous and can be interpreted in different ways. Pot so to speak, because he outraged by the actions of Kozyrev in relation to us. - What is it? - I mean, "Nashe Radio" presents itself as a rock 'n' roll. In fact, there are examples that cast doubt on his rock-n-rollnost. And as for us, this is a sensitive issue, there is a conflict. True, it is not enough. Kozyrev behave decently. Good for you. As for our part of the time we only informed wrong. Information that we had from the press, wrong. For this reason, and there was "pidaras." - And you could like Kirkorov, send a journalist mate? - In the pop world, there are many journalists who, dammit, podkovyrnut want by all means. Especially Pot take over his lack of front teeth. I somehow know why not. Well, by the way, is already there. - As a child, pot hanging from the bar, clinging to her teeth. - I wanted to catch up. Then they Dolman a beer or something else ... Not because of the protest. He was so excited! And above all he is afraid to mandrazhki dentists! Imagine! Pot at a press conference loaded question: "Who mows under no: They are under the Shura Shura or under you?". We send these journalists immediately. There are many cases where pot sent, "Fuck you for ...". In Russian. - Pot seems ponervoznee you so choose. - He's always angry defend our name. - You not only make life difficult for some journalists and fans? - No. However, when I went to the subway, I immediately began to photograph. And five people at a time! For me, I laugh, of course ... But do not go in the subway is not for this reason, and because you just do not like. It's boring. - On my way to the car? - Not on your own - by taxi. And I do not drive-able. - I heard a fan because Pot jumped out the window ... - In our practice, this really was. But it was not a fan, and a close friend. - Pot? - Not really. - You? - Let them know nobody.
