Vintage was formed of ex-soloist of "High School" Anna Pletneva and former soloist of group "A-Mega" Alexei Romanov in mid- 2006 . Originally, it was decided to name the band "Chelsea", but later the name "Vintage" was chosen.[1]
In late August, the group proceeded to shoot the video for the song "Good-bye". The single appeared on the air radio stations in September and peaked 14 in the Russian chart. In August and September, the group held a small promotional tour of Moscow and the Moscow region, in which they performed several concerts at clubs, and also performed at a beach party thrown by the radio station "Europe Plus". On November 22 they released their first album, called "Криминальная любовь" (Criminal Love). A presentation of the disc was held on November 27 in Moscow, the club «Opera».
On April 19 the video for new song of "Bad Girl" was released, a duet with actress Elena Korikova. On June 12, the single took the third place in TopHit 100 - the only official Russian radiochart, and the song became the band's most successful single. Later, "Bad Girl" took the first place, having held out on it 2 weeks.
In October, there was a change in the group, member team Mia exits the band, and takes her place Svetlana Ivanova.
In February, the group went on tour, visiting cities such as Moscow, Ulyanovsk, Riga, Minsk, Samara and Kaliningrad. On March 15 they released a new video for the song "Eve". The single quickly became the band's most successful single to date, leading the Russian radio chart for 9 weeks.
In 31 August 2009 they released their fourth single from their forthcoming album "Girls lunatics". The song had a social implication, and the video has become one of the most controversial of the group.
In October they released their second album "SEX". The record debuted at number 12 in the Russian album chart.[2]
On April 16 live on Love Radio introduced a new musical composition - (Russian: Микки, transliterated as "Mikki", Mickey) dedicated to Michael Jackson. The band shot two versions of the video clip for the song - a Russian and English version. Despite the fact that the lyrics did not succeed like the previous tracks, the clip was popular on Internet and became one of the most discussed.
On September the 11th, Европа плюс (Evropa Plyus), Русское радио (Russkoe radio), Love-радио (Love-radio) and Свежее радио (Svezhee radio) released Vintage's latest song, Roman, "Роман". The videoclip was released on Vintage's official Facebook page on October the 23rd.
