Autograph (Russian band)

Autograph (Russian band)

Autograph ( _ru. Автограф, or "Avtograf") is a rock band from the Soviet Union and Russia.

The group was founded in 1979 by Alexander Sitkovetsky, and achieved a considerable success at the first Soviet state-sanctioned rock festival held in Tbilisi, Georgia with the song 'Blues Caprice'. In 1984 vocalist Arthur Berkut joined the band.

Autograph was untypical for a russian rock band, playing more instrumental-based sound and much less symbolist lyrics. They are credited as a pioneering Soviet progressive|art rock band.

Autograph performed live on Live Aid, being transmitted live from Moscow. The group comprised 5 members - guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and a singer. The signature song they performed was "Нам нужен мир" (or "Nam Nuzhen Mir - We Need Peace").

Disbanded in 1990, the group reunited in December 2004 and performed a series of concerts in Russian cities in 2005.
