Neuro Dubel’s concert banned (Video)

The presentation of a new album of famous group Neuro Dubel, which was to be held in Minsk club “Fortuna” today, was banned. As group’s leader Aleksandr Kullinkovich said to Charter’97 press center, “there was a call from Partizanski District Executive Committee, and then people from KGB came to the club”.

“I myself don’t know anything. At first, there was a call from Partizanski District Executive Committee, then three man from KGB came. I only know the concert has been banned. The hardware is being dismounted already. There won’t be a concert”, Aleksandr Kullinkovich said.

Addressing the people who were going to visit the concert, Kullinkovich said: “Cheer up! I don’t know how we will play concerts. We’ll live. Work. We won’t die, it’s exact. No such plans. They are trying in vain”, the musician said.

Concert presentation of Neuro Dubel’s new album “Stasi” was to take place in Minsk 14 November.

According to Kullinkovich, there are 19 songs in the album, among them 6 in Russian, the rest is in Belarusian. Traditionally, 7 short poems are included into the album. “As all the previous albums, this will be the best one”, Kullinkovich declared, adding that in comparison with the previous album “Tanki” the new album is more hard”.

There were some variants of the album’s title, but as a result “Stasi” was chosen. Stasi was the intelligence organization of the former GDR. As the group’s frontman explained, “it is a structure, that doesn’t allegedly exist, but it exists”. It resembles the place of Neuro Dubel in Belarus, Kullinkovich thinks.

We remind, Neuro Dubel and some other Belarusian musicians have problems with concerts’ organization and access to air and TV channels, after they played a concert after an oppositional meeting in 2004, timed to 10 anniversary of Lukashenka’s rule.

The disk will be released in late November – early December this year.
