I got an e-mail from my friend yesterday saying that a russian band Mumiy Troll was performing at a local club in Saratoga Springs, NY that same night. I thought he was kidding, cause my friend likes to look things up online and then play practical jokes on people. But then I followed the link and found out that they were actually invited by the EQX radiostation and were sponsored by Absolut. So, it was real and...free of charge. Needless to say, I agreed to go see them without hesitation. It was a fun night, I was standing right in front of the low profile stage (if I stretched over, I would've been able to give the guys hugs) dancing, yelling out the lyrics of "Девочка", "Утекай", "Медведица", "Владивосток 2000" and other older hits. It was way too much fun, the band has still got it and Ilya Lagutenko is even crazier with his new haircut. When I woke up this morning, my right ear was still ringing. I haven't had that much fun even during last tour of Coldplay, so...it was unexpectedly amazingly good times! I just realized that they've been touring North America for the past year on and off, now they are playing in LA this Sunday, then Festival in Mexico and back home to Russia. I am so very glad I had this opportunity to see them live here, they are simply fantastic! Already want them to come back...
