Neschastny Sluchai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neschastny Sluchai (Russian: Несчастный случай) is a Russian alternative rock band that was formed in 1982 by students of Moscow State University. The name translates into English as "unfortunate accident", although the band is often called "The Accident". Despite being popular in Russian, the band is virtually unknown outside of Russia. The band cites as a major influence the music of the rock group Queen. They are still active in Russia and have released over six albums.
Alexei Kortnev, lead singer of Neschastny Sluchai, along with actors Mikhail Shirvindt and Igor Zolotovitsky, have championed old fashioned values (as they term it) including heterosexuality. Among the other participants in this movement are Channel One presenter Valdis Pelsh, who is a former member of Neschastny Sluchai (Moscow Times, June 1, 2006).
