Kipelov The Band
Next day, September 1, Kipelov, Terentyev, Mavrin and Maniakin launched the new band, named Kipelov (named at Terentyev's suggestion as the bandmembers couldn't come up with any better name). In 2003 they released the live album 'Put Naverh' (Way to the Top), recorded in Saint Petersburg. It contained Aria's songs by Kipelov, Terentyev and Mavrin as well as 'Smutnoye Vremia' songs. Ballad 'Ya Svoboden' (I am Free) became the top hit in Russian rock charts. The 'golden' voice of Kipelov enticed many Aria fans to his new project.
Terentyev, and later Mavrin left Kipelov in next two years, explaining that the band was too slow in releasing the new album. Since 2002 to 2005 the only new release was 'Babylon' EP. To record his new album, Valery invited famous Victor Smolski. Kipelov's first LP 'Reki Vremen' (Rivers of Time) came out in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“Nothing makes a man feel older than to hear a band coming up the street and not to have the impulse to rush downstairs and out on to the sidewalk.”
