Stone Shades, 28 September 2024

The Stone Shades is a sixties pop/ freakbeat band from Moscow, Russia. Founded in 2001 by former members of another popular Moscow outfit - the Dans Ramblers- Alexander Vassiliev (vocals) and Alexey Tchernyayev (guitar), the Stone Shades have progressed from a typical Rolling Stones tribute group (which is quite natural, since both aforementioned musicians resemble much Mick Jagger and Brian Jones respectively) to a more bizarre sound featuring dynamic cover versions of other peoples compositions as well as some original songs (Shes Going Away, Bath Song , etc.). One of the originals, High Flyin Baby , is a popular dance number in Moscow venues and has been rated No.1 song from a recent compilation Rocknroll Around Kremlin (July, 2006) which also includes originals performed by 15 other Moscow artists. At present time the band is performing extensively in Moscow clubs and is looking for recording some new studio material. Of the songs posted here. Sitting On the Rooftop is written by D.Platonov, Downtown Daizy and High Flying Baby are written by A.Vassiliev and D.Platonov, Bath Song is written by A.Vassiliev and A.Tchernyayev.
