Biography
The man who stands behind Moscow-based instrumental bands THE RE-STONED and RUSHUS is a composer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Ilya Lipkin whose interests, talents, experiences and crafts are manifold and diverse.
In 2008, Ilya Lipkin and Vladimir Nikulin (also in RUSHUS) invited a drummer Andrei Pankratov to form a loud, fuzzy, aggressive and stomping hard-stoner-rock trio THE RE-STONED. It was, as Ilya said, "a re-turn to the music I've always listened to and loved to play". Despite the band is not traditionally fronted by a lead singer and follows the completely instrumental path, they are arguably the most welcomed and popular live act among the Russian classic rock revivalists.
