Leonid & Friends: My Favorite Russian Band

Best Chicago cover band I've heard. Not to mention how well they do on Steely Dan and Earth, Wind and Fire. Check them out on the YouTube.

Wow, right out of the chute with a Steely Dan tune and done well. Good stuff!

Could have been better if the video just showed the young lady in the jeans and pink top.

Read up on them. Best going thing present day coming out of Russia. Lenoid (bass player)writes all their music by ear. I belive they are still touring the US. They played in Oro, Arizona earlier this year. Hopefully they were out of the country when they started grabbing military age people to go fight in the Ukraine.

Very hard to completely hide the thick Eastern European accent. But they do an outstanding job.

They're touring the US. OKC November 2022.

This is Rus. A beautiful song in the Russian tongue. Fantastic harmony. Open the video on YouTube and click the view more in the description for the English language translation.

Mini documentary in who they are, what they're about and how they started.

Ksenia Buzina is the super model looking female vocalist. She sings and speaks in 7 languages. She's also a piano virtuoso.

I've seen them twice. The first time in 2021 with Sergi (He's the guy in the center of the picture playing guitar and was one of the lead singers. He's Ukrainian and left the band, comprised of mostly Russians, after the invasion). We saw them earlier this year in Lincoln, NE.

I like their rendition of 25 or 6 to 4 better than the original.
