"Tea for Two": "We have their women and start a career in the West"

St. Petersburg duo "Tea for Two" by Denis Stas Kostyushkin Klyaver and overcomes in the last two or three years, with an enviable ease all plans, released in quick succession, not get a prestigious tour, easily assembled halls. Think overlooking this beautiful, pumped, smiling and obviously not the dumbest people never mind says: "Change" that they are not happy with themselves in the work, which started a new risky project and all in your personal life and go through a real drama. - Last year, you were conceived about his new project, for the western market that is going to play rock music and sing in English speaking. How are you? - We have the first phase of euphoria, when I tried to sing in a new way, a few things recorded in the studio to please her first success. Now, a sober look at our first test: pretty, but you need to work and work - said Denis. - You are very good in the Russian market: large rooms, large fees, blow by blow ... Why risk the game with the West? - In our market, we are not under control of the pop genre, and will break the stereotypes. And we are keen to try something new. Of course you do-able that. In the European area of not more (laughs), but we understand how it will be difficult to convince people Alexander Marshall tells how he once paid a visit to someone from American tycoons on record that the table was littered with demo discs, and it looked like it in the trash, do not listen. "Gorky Park" was lucky that after the restructuring was a wave of interest in the Russian language, but now it will surprise no one. Then we will be surprised with something else! - What is it? - For live performance Stas unusual decision of the Director thought with elements fashion show. Coupled with solid musical material this chip can shoot. Passion "Euro Vision" - You've already one of his hard-rock opus in English in the qualifying rounds of the Festival "Euro Vision 2005" filed on channel ... and not won laurels, remained in fifth place! In fact, many of your fans did not understand why the "Dummies" needed to communicate with the "Euro Vision Song Contest"? - We were made for each reaction. It is important to check in such a difficult situation. In the semifinals, we went and did all that they themselves wanted. Were energy, pressure, feelings. But for "Dummies" so faint, gentle, lyrical accustomed. Even close friends and parents grabbed her head: "In the end, it is necessary to speak more softly, Keep Smiling" In the end we were a lot worse, do not look organic. Although we were comfortable assessment professionals: composer and producer Igor Matviyenko has our highest priority, and the critic Artemy Troitsky in "five nights", said: "If there are no worthy candidates, send" Tea for Two "! Rips them all" , - said Stas. - What are the feelings that you saw then broadcast of "Euro Vision"? What would you play, you win qualifying round held Natalia Podolsky? - As I watched the show, I thought, "What a blessing that we're not here!" The fact that the competition in this defies logic to many factors, the extent of the music ... But it so happened that when Russian artist misses the number of winners, the audience is that it is perceived as a national tragedy and a competitor instead of the hero suddenly the scapegoat. We do not taste like a roll! - Said Denis. - We make a European rock project designed to Sweden, Germany, Finland, and at "Euro Vision" their guns and heroes. It is important to show the ethnic culture that in the fashionable dance rhythms - added Stas. - A year ago, talking about the new rock project, you will shock the public recognition that they are willing to admit to his team the third singer ... - We have a talented guy who sings with us, writes the lyrics in English, runs on background vocals. But the third singer in the new project, he has not. In the ten years between the two of us, there are some metaphysical unity, and a third person can only hinder. - In the West, you will act as the "Tea for Two"? - No, come with a new. Not the first love - Stas, it's no secret that you, his wife and child and went to a beautiful girl dancer Julia. Tell me, friends, you get it? - There were some friends and acquaintances who do not understand: "How could you go you have a son?" They felt that in spite of everything we have to stay to endure ... - And in your work, this situation is somehow affected? - After Ilya Oleinikov L. (Father Denis Klyaver, and beyond is also a composer - Comm .. MS) has asked me to write the lyrics for his songs. I agreed, but my head is nothing but love for Julia, it was not! Ilya L. settle, exclaimed, "Well, this is the text ready" Nowhere to go, when we drove out of town to the airport, and half an hour, I wrote the lyrics from start to finish. L. was in the choir blank: "It's my first love." And then I picked it up, "Not One!" Such was the song "Do not be my first love." - Your Julia offended not to that name? - No, because he knows that by and large it is - the first! A "well-wishers" Julia whispers, "He will give up, he was free!" Yes I am a free bird! And life is not a dog. But if something has decided to break, then so be it. 10th June marks 1 year, our relationship with Julia. Love is not less feelings are deeper and are more and more understanding and affection. Not long ago, Julia said: "Everything is perfect, come on," "I want a baby," I am sincerely glad, one day I came home, and she is in tears: "I'm pregnant and want to be with you, in order to to go tour, or a face if it is "Tea for Two" Pass! "That's it, and talk. What kid, if we do not break away from each other. She's very talented, fearless! Julia after the former world champion in acrobatic gymnastics. How beautiful it is turning somersaults! Although I am a little afraid of her, but I'm proud of it. Sport is very well organized people. Olga and I had a problem: I say something, she immediately takes a hostile reception, and here - is a positive attitude. - Denis, and you do not have to condemn Stas? - He's my best friend, I knew him first support. The situation is complicated, nervous, but honestly did Stas. He helps his son to buy a flat. The main thing is that a man is a man. You know, I too was once a difficult situation, I am less than a month after the wedding, too, left his wife for another girl (by the way, the dancer - Approx. MS), and it was very difficult to explain to friends and relatives. But now I am happy to have a big family with Julia, a son Timokha ... And recently I met up with Lena, his first wife. She gave birth to a child, happy, I was not in possession of evil.
