The Story

The first public appearance of the band under the name "No Evidence" took place on 4th October, 2009 at the Tribute to Scorpions Festival. This date could be considered as the oficial band's date of birth.

However, the most amount of songs that further were included to the 1st album were written long before - in 1999. At that time a band with a strange name Tearful Juice was founded by the guitarist Dima Petrov and drummer Serge Zarudny. It was funny, but Serge impressed Dima 1st of all as a singer, but not a drummer)). - "Oh, as I can see you like David Coverdale too!", asked Dima once when Serge was experimenting with a microphone. The answer was "Who is that?"

Beginning

The guys wrote some songs and began to play live concerts together with other musicians (Mike Kolesnik, the current No Evidence's guitar player, was among them for some time). Unfortunately, they stopped their activity in couple of years and decided to develop their careers in separate ways not connected with the music.

But the love of rock music was so strong and life without it was so poor that some time after Dima and Serge began to look around to recommence the music career. And in 2006 it was happened - it was the TJ's reunion with Dima, Serge and Mike. The guys engaged Serge's childhood friend Max Shahura (bass) and Fedor Popov (drums).


Starting from 2008 the band consists of the following members:

Dima Petrov - guitars Serge Zarudny - vocals Mike Kolesnik - lead guitars Max Shashura - bass Dima Vincent Vinnikov - drums

1st Album

In 2008 the band began to record their 1st album. It was released in 2009 under the name "Too Late". The presentation took place on 5th of November 2009 at popular Moscow club B2. The event attracted several hundreds of fans.

The song "Street Dancer" was so powerful that the auto giant Peugeot purchased the rights to it in order to use as a soundtrack for their viral promo video.

The song "Too Late" attracted the majority of fan votes as the best song from the album.

As a whole, the album represented a coctail of beautiful melodies, fantastic drive, screaming solos, and powerfull guitar riffs! It is difficult to determine exactly the album's style, it is a mix of "old school of rock" with elements of funk and blues with the new wave of alternative rock. And the lyrics are thoughtful and optimistic.

Now

In May 2010 the band has supported Gotthard at their Moscow show. It should be noted, that Gotthard musicians had listened to No Evidence music by themselves to approve the band to enter the show.

In August 2010 No Evidence became a participant of rock festival "Rock Wave 2010" at the coast of the Black Sea (Crimea, Ukraine). There the band has played on the same stage with the well-known Russian and Ukranian rockers — Slot, Mavrin, Tracktor Bowling, Role Model, etc.

Currently, the band is working at the studio on the material for the 2nd album that is expected to be even more powerful, energetic and diverse. One of the reasons is  that the band members Mike Kolesnik and Max Shashura and a soundengineer Dan Krasnikov will appear as the authors of some new songs.
