Splean
Splean (also transliterated Splin) (Cyrillic: спЛин) is a popular Russian rock band. They formed in 1993 and released their first album in 1994. For nearly twelve years, they have remained one of the most popular rock bands in Russia and the former Soviet Union.
The band was formed when lead singer Aleksandr Vasilev, while working in at a theatrical institute, was introduced to keyboardist Nikolai Rostovskiy. The two formed a band, and risking Vasilev's job, began recording their first album in one of the institute's studios at night.
Despite the unstoppable rumours about the break-up situation of the group, Vasilev and Co continue performing on different Russian and World stages. The members of the band have been changed, during its fabulous career, but the Saint-Pererburg's rock-band spirit never left it.
In 2005 the group started recording another album, which will be published in fall of 2006.
