Group Quest Pistols Show 2018. New composition relevant for today.
About all members of the Quest Pistols Show group
The history of the group began in 2004. It was then that choreographers Anton Savlepov, Konstantin Borovsky and Nikita Goryuk founded dance group Quest Pistols. They defined their style as "aggressive-intelligent-pop". The guys performed quite successfully in front of the Kyiv public, but there was no talk of real popularity yet. Then the producer Yuri Bardash sent Anton and Nikita to vocal lessons, and Borovsky was assigned the role of rapper.
The breakthrough occurred on April 1, 2007, on the Chance project, broadcast by the Inter TV channel, a cover of Long and Lonesome Road by the Dutch band Shocking Blue sounded. The performance instantly received 60 thousand messages in support, and the composition "I'm tired" occupied the first positions of the main domestic charts for a long time.
In September of the same year, in Belgium, the Pistols performed the "Dance Against Poison" program in support of a healthy lifestyle. Many do not believe, but "quests" do not consume alcohol and nicotine, and actively promote vegetarianism. They also don't listen to club music and don't go to savory establishments.
The success of the guys from Quest Pistols was overwhelming. They did not have time to give interviews, and their photos constantly flashed in Russian and Ukrainian glossy tabloids. In 2011, fans were alarmed by the unpleasant news that Anton Savlepov was leaving the team, but this information was soon refuted. Around the same time, Konstantin Borovsky announced a change in status and a transition from soloists to curators, and another participant joined the guys - Daniel Joy (Daniil Matseychuk).
In 2013, Kostya Borovsky and Matseychuk left QP to create the boy band KBDM. Although critics have spoken of creative crisis The Quick Pistols continued to tour as a couple, and were soon joined by an incognito masked member.
Initially conceived as a trio, the group has grown to five members in 2014. Washington Salles, as well as Ivan Krishtoforenko and Mariam Turkmenbayeva joined the team. Soon Daniil Matseychuk returned to the team. But the main laurels still belonged to the trio of founders: Goryuk, Savlepov and Borovsky, and the newcomers remained behind the scenes for some time. And only when an updated title appeared and the group received a new name Quest Pistols Show, information began to appear about a change in concept and sound.
Today, the team prioritizes a high-quality visual image, vivid images and choreography honed to perfection. The opposite images of the participants create the impression of a dance battle, but despite the unusual format, the new tracks turn out to be very harmonious and memorable.
To date, Quest Pistols has three full-length albums in its luggage
- In 2007 - "For you";
- In 2009 - "Superklass",
- In 2017 - "Lubimka".
The team is the owner of the Golden Gramophone and MTV Europe Music Awards. "QP" has repeatedly submitted an application for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest: once from Russia and twice from Ukraine. In 2009, the selection failed due to the fact that the composition "White Dragonfly of Love" was already being broadcast on radio and TV in violation of the rules. In 2010, the group applied for participation in Eurovision in Oslo with the song "I am your drug", but the guys failed to get into the list of finalists. In 2011, another unsuccessful attempt was made.

Interestingly, at the very beginning of the creative path, the pop trio's repertoire consisted of only 3-4 songs, and this was clearly not enough for full-fledged concerts. The guys found a simple way out: first, "Pistols" rocked the hall with their dance numbers for about half an hour, and then performed the songs they had in stock.
By 2007, the repertoire expanded, and the debut album "For You" saw the light of day.

Many predicted that the group would cease to exist. But Goryuk and Savlepov continued to tour together, presenting to the public new single Baby boy. And a little later they appeared to the public in a completely new role and introduced new participants.

The video for the song "I'm tired" was released in May 2007 and immediately got into the rotation of music TV channels. Quest Pistols presented their debut album "For You" at the end of October 2007. The disc became "gold" in terms of the number of sales, and received positive reviews. The group also records a cover of Nikolai Voronov's meme song "White Dragonfly of Love", the video for which becomes a Youtube hit.
New line-up: 2011-2013
In 2011, Konstantin Borovsky left the group, and Daniil Matseychuk took his place. The new line-up included such video works as “You Lost Weight” together with Lolita Milyavskaya, “Different”, “Forget Everything” and “Romeo”. Daniil leaves the group in 2013. Later, Kostya and Daniil organize the KBDM musical group and the clothing brand of the same name.
Format change: 2014-2016 - present
From June 2013 to April 2014, the group toured as part of two soloists - Anton Savlepov and Nikita Goryuk, as well as a mysterious member in a mask, but already in April 2014 the line-up was replenished with new heroes. They were the Brazilian Washington from Rio de Janeiro, as well as Mariam and Ivan.
On November 15, 2014, the premiere of the dance show - Quest Pistols Show took place, with which the musicians went on a world tour in January 2015. The concept of this show became the basis of the group's dance philosophy, which subsequently led the group to the show project format and name change to Quest Pistols Show.
On March 8, 2015, an EP titled "Soundtrack" was released. The album released new songs of the group, which determined its modern sound - dance, club house music.
At the beginning of September 2015, Daniil Matseychuk returns to the group.
On November 13, the premiere of the video clip for Mariam's solo song "Alien" took place. On December 5, the band performed at the Moscow Crocus city hall with the Futurismo show program.
On December 31, the premiere of the video clip of Daniel Joy (Daniil Matseychuk) for the song "We know for sure" took place.
On January 3, 2016, Anton Savlepov left the team. Around the same time, the original trio, consisting of Anton Savlepov, Nikita Goryuk and Konstantin Borovsky, decided to get together again and appeared before the public as the Agon group.
On September 1, the group presented a video for the song "Coolest of All" together with Open Kids. Also announced a big solo concert"Not similar Concert" 4 November.
Eurovision
The group applied for participation in Eurovision once from Russia and twice from Ukraine. At first, the group wanted to go to Eurovision 2009 in Moscow and represent Ukraine, but the group was not among the participants in the qualifying competition from Ukraine. She also tried to pass the Russian selection with the song "White Dragonfly of Love", but due to a violation of the rules (the song could not be performed until October 2008), Quest Pistols were not allowed to the Russian selection competition, which caused regret both from the group itself and from the author this song.
In 2010, the group tried for the second time to get to the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo with the song "I'm your drug", but again it was not on the list of finalists. In 2011, Quest Pistols applied for the third time to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku from Ukraine, but this idea also turned out to be fruitless.
