After succesfull start they`ve found out that music needs a voice, and the band neds THE singer... They said it was just a good luck, that Diana Polenova at the moment was looking for a they`ve found each other by mutual demands. With a new member Anton Habibulin joined the band in 2007, the search has been completed, and a spice of rock-guitar which he`s brought into the sound, just took the right place in that perfect blend...
