In 1986, Alexander Minaev, who managed to play in various bands, decided to organize his own project in the heavy metal style. A newly formed group called “Shock” joined the Moscow Rock Laboratory, where Minaev met Pavel Molchanov, then the vocalist of the group “Martin”. Things with “Martin” left much to be desired, and Minaev lured Molchanov to join his ensemble, long years thereby forming the creative backbone of the group (Molchanov - Minaev).
In 1987, music director Vladislav Zorin came to Shock. As it turned out, at a crucial moment his ward group, with the name “Time-Out,” refused to tour the North Caucasus, despite the fact that the concerts had already been announced and the posters were posted. This forced him to look for a group that would agree to perform under a different name. After some thought, Minaev and Molchanov agreed. This is how the current “Time Out” began.
Era of Zorin
Over the next two years, under the patronage of Zorin, the group traveled to the North Caucasus, the Urals and Far East. The frantic pace of work, when the musicians were not at home for months, and the unstable composition were combined with the not always well-thought-out organization of tours. From time to time we had to put up with the lack of basic amenities. In such conditions, the “science of highs” was born, and with it a whole cycle of prose, poetry, songs and jokes, which for the time being, as well as Motology itself, remained in the shadows.
By 1989, the first historical composition of the group was formed: Pavel Molchanov - vocals, Alexander Minaev - bass guitar, Vladimir Pavlov - electric guitar and Yuri Shipilov - drums. The ensemble parted ways with Zorin, having received from him the right to the name that had already been assigned to the group, and upon returning to Moscow, they recorded their first album, “We Love You,” consisting of program songs from the rapidly passing era of “Zopukha.”
In 1990, Yuri Shipilov left the group for religious reasons. His place was taken by Pavel Molchanov’s longtime acquaintance from the days of “Martin,” Andrei Rodin.
Hello! The quachas have arrived!
In 1991, a longtime acquaintance of the group from the Moscow Rock Laboratory, Yuri Spiridonov, invited Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev to his program “Parents' Day” on SNC radio. The musicians did not lose face and, having seriously prepared, staged a live a real bacchanalia. Introducing themselves as veterans of domestic rock and roll Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdym (Molchanov) and Akakiy Nazarych Zirnbirnshtein (Minaev), the guests sang songs for the entire hour, read motorcycle treatises and generally had fun to the fullest. The release date of this program, May 29, 1991, is considered the “birthday of motorology.”
Dashing jokes and a shocking image, which were, to put it mildly, new for domestic radio, were liked by listeners and the “veterans” were invited to permanent job. New show called “Hello! The kwachas have arrived!” But there were also dissatisfied people. The presenters, according to spiteful critics, were in a state of strong alcohol and/or drug intoxication during the broadcasts, which Minaev and Molchanov themselves have repeatedly denied. The radio station received demands to close the program. Then SNC director Stas Namin stood up for the duo, giving the show carte blanche to broadcast.
Despite such scandalous fame, “Zdrastenafig” was nominated for the “Golden Ostap” award in the “Best Humorous Radio Broadcast” category, eventually receiving a silver statuette.
After the closure of SNC radio in 1992, the program aired on radio “Rakurs”, then, after a short period of wandering around radio frequencies, in 1996 it settled on radio “Silver Rain”.
In 1997, Pavel Molchanov resigned as presenter, and his place was taken by Sergei Stepanov (Gagey Gageich Sikorsky-Koncheny).
In the period from 1999 to 2000, the MTV channel aired a television version of the program with the same presenters.
In 2000, “Hello!” moved to Nashe Radio. Molchanov returned to the place of the departed Stepanov.
Latest on this moment the incarnation of the program under the new name “NAKHN (On the move of the foot)” aired in the periods 2003-2005. on radio “On-line” and 2005-2006. on radio "Youth". The presenters were Alexander Minaev (Akaky Nazarych Zirnbirnstein (ANZ)) and Evgeny Rybov (Nagunail Parallapsovich Permindyur (NPP)).
Motology
Impressed by the success on the radio, motology, which until recently was the property of a narrow circle of friends, began to penetrate into the ensemble’s work.
In 1991, Time-Out recorded his first motorcycle album, Medical Equipment. Songs such as “Somewhere beyond the forest a cactus is rotting,” “Handbag hole” and “Where are my cogs” received a warm reception on the radio, and the group went on tour under the banner of the science of getting high. At this moment, Vladimir Pavlov left the ensemble without explanation. Alexander Minaev, in search of a replacement, remembered the guitarist of the group “Legion”, with which Time-Out often toured, and offered him a job in the ensemble. This is how Sergei Stepanov appeared in the team. Around the same time, against the backdrop of an increase in keyboard parts in the program, Roman Mukhachev, who was a longtime friend of Molchanov and more than once helped the ensemble as a session musician, joined the group. Molchanov’s colleague with Minaev on SNC radio Erkin Tuzmukhamedov also joined the team as a director. The list of radio colleagues involved in the affairs of the ensemble did not end with this: as sound engineers in different time Robert Rednikin and Sergey Pedchenko worked.
The group began to evolve into musically. If earlier the basis of the repertoire was heavy metal, somewhat diluted with lyrical ballads, then with the advent of motorology, the stylistic range began to expand. Vivid examples This transformation can be considered such songs as “Pancakes with sour cream”, “Yokhan Palych”, “Plyuts about tsatseta”, “Country” (formerly known as “Dance about hemorrhoids”), etc. But the main find was the performance of a cover of the composition “Pinocchio” from the 1975 film of the same name. The song fits so well into the motological ideology that the ensemble still performs it to this day.
Concerts dedicated to the celebrations of the “Motological New Year” in the fall and the “Anniversary of the Motorological Movement” in the spring have become traditional for the group.
As a quintet, the group toured until 1995, during which time they recorded two live albums and gained a reputation as one of the best live rock bands.
In 1995, Roman Mukhachev was fired from the group on the grounds of “systematic absenteeism from concerts.”
Conquest of the Pole
On April 21, 1995, one of the most famous Time Out concerts took place, which took place in geographical point North Pole at a wind speed of 5 m/s and a temperature of −25 °C. The duration was about 12 minutes.
In general, as motologists admitted, they had the coldest, in the sense of the frozen, audience there (about a hundred people), and they called the concert itself the most attended in the entire history of the North Pole. Moreover, this concert went down in the history of both motorology and the world. This is confirmed by the corresponding entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
Quartet
The group gained particular popularity among bikers. Among other things, this was facilitated by the song “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to the love of riding motorcycles. Under the patronage of the Night Wolves, the ensemble began to take part in the club’s annual bike shows. In particular, Minaev and Molchanov were the permanent presenters of these events from 1995 to 1999, and the director of the team, Erkin Tuzmukhamedov, began publishing the magazine “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to everything that is ridden.
The second half of the nineties passed for the group under the banner of consolidating its achievements. The group did not experience a shortage of material, which made it possible to consistently release albums until 2001.
In addition to the magazine mentioned above, ale also began to be produced under the brand name of the Motological Music Ensemble. “Khmel Time-Out” was bottled in 1.5 liter bottles and sold directly at the band’s concert venues. This drink is currently not available.
In 1999, in the program “Hello!” The “Thin Ear” competition section appeared, during which the hosts played songs by unknown and beginning musicians. The finalists had the opportunity to perform at organized by a group festival, which took place on April 8, 2000 at the Svalka club. The headliner was Time Out himself.
In June 2000, the group took part in Russian rock festival"Wings".
Trio
At the end of 2001, Sergei Stepanov left the group. The ensemble began performing in a trio format, sometimes inviting session musicians to concerts. The album recorded by this lineup was never released. The official comment on the current situation was extremely brief: “We cannot reach an agreement with the publishers.” However, new songs could be heard at concerts and on the radio.
On January 26, 2003, the second “Thin Ear” festival took place at the “B2” club, but without radio support. On October 24, 2003, the first acoustic concert in the history of the group was given in the Central House of Artists, where Pavel Molchanov played the piano, Alexander Minaev on the guitar, and Andrei Rodin on percussion. The experiment was successful. Thus, the number of electric performances is being reduced in favor of acoustic and unplugged concerts.
In 2004, the Alexey Rybnikov Theater together with Yuri Entin began work on musical production"Pinocchio" based on the film of the same name. According to the plan, live music was to be performed during the performance. musical accompaniment, thereby equating the performance with a rock opera. “Time Out” was chosen for this purpose. Alexey Efimov performed as keyboard player. In addition, the vocal section was strengthened by the Moscow Blues quartet, with whom the group subsequently continued to collaborate outside the performance. The premiere of the rock fairy tale took place on June 7, 2007 in concert hall"Mir" on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. By the fall of 2008, over 80 performances took place with the constant participation of the group, after which the project ended.
Present tense
At the end of 2009, Pavel Molchanov, known in Motological circles as Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy, left the team to work closely with his wife teaching activities as part of their own creative workshop “Fortissimo”. Wanting to save the group, Minaev and Rodin invited back Sergei Stepanov and Roman Mukhachev.
Reshuffles in the composition were formalized on October 24 of the same year at the celebration of the “motorcycle New Year”. The concert was divided into three parts: in the first, the group performed in the usual format (trio), in the second, with an expanded lineup (quintet), and in the third, with a new lineup.
On the eve of the New Year 2010, it became known that the ensemble would re-record all unreleased material and several old songs from previous records.
On November 27, 2010, as part of the “Motological New Year” celebration, a presentation of a new album called “Cabbage” took place. A few hours before the concert, an autograph session was held with the musicians at the Tochka club, where everyone could purchase a new record and paraphernalia. In addition, unsold audio cassettes of the group's recordings were distributed free of charge during the event.
At the moment, the group is actively involved in the touring schedule. According to established tradition new program exists in electric and acoustic formats.

Additional Information
Pavel Molchanov found a sign from the door of a dentist's office, broken into two parts, in a trash heap. The smaller one with the inscription “one hundred” seemed to him not capacious enough, but the second one with the proud inscription “matologist” now hung on Molchanov’s door. Over time, when the motological ensemble began to gain fame, a problem arose with radio stations that did not want to put in rotation the group’s songs with the motivation “the matological group seems to be swearing.” Then the “a” in the word was changed to “o”.. This is what it is at the moment official version. However, in many interviews motologists put forward a different version. According to her, the sign was not glass, it was simply long, and therefore Pavel Molchanov had to saw it off so that it would fit on the door of his room.
The word “Zopuh” was born as a transliteration of the surname “Zorin”: 30PUH. An amused Minaev read the name written on the poster artistic director as if it were written in Latin.
After leaving the ensemble, Pavel Molchanov and his wife created the creative workshop “Fortissimo”. Studio "Fortissimo" is engaged in the search for talented, spiritual children, as well as in the education and development creativity in a child. Today, TM “Fortissimo” has dozens of students who show very impressive results. The studio also actively participates in various competitions, concerts, television and radio programs.
The ensemble is a laureate in several categories of the Prize of the Foundation for Lost Childhood.
On October 20, 1995, at a concert in the Gorbunov House of Culture, dedicated to the celebration of the Motorological New Year, a party of beer lovers organized the sale of Zhigulevskoe beer in glass bottles for Soviet-style money. One bottle cost 37 kopecks, and for overpayments they gave change in Soviet money. It is especially noteworthy that empty bottles could be returned and received 12 kopecks.
In the mid-90s. Together with Kirill Nemolyaev, the group organized the “Rock in Defense of the Phonogram” event, where they performed songs by other performers to the plus phonogram.
We went out, put on bunny masks, and I announced: “He’s performing American band"Hickey"! And after that the “Kiss” record would play. After all, if you look at things honestly, then we brought the generally abnormal situation with singing to “plywood” to logical conclusion, complete absurdity, complete insanity.
From the memoirs of Kirill Nemolyaev.
The ensemble of motological music appeared at the very beginning of 1987. And it was invented by none other than Zopukh. His name was actually not Zopukh, but Zorin V.E. The word “Zopuh” was formed like this: ANZ, being in a state of absolute joy, read the name of the artistic director in Latin on the poster.
So here it is. There was such a group - Time Out, but not in current composition, and in Gorky. And during the next tour of Transcaucasia, Zorin, for no apparent reason, quarreled with the team. The musicians fled under the noise, and Zorin Vladislav Efimych, escaping, unknown how, found the group “Shock” in the Moscow rock laboratory, in which Sasha Minaev and Pasha Molchanov played, and offered work in the city of Makhachkala in the Dagestan region State Philharmonic. It was proposed to change the name of the group to Time Out.
As soon as Zorin realized that the group had died completely and irrevocably, that they did not know how to play someone else’s music, he waved his hand and the newly-minted Time Out began playing his own songs. And in the late eighties at the film studio named after. Gorky recorded the record “We Love You”.
Minaev and Molchanov began their careers as musicians back in at a young age: Alexander played in a school ensemble, after which he played in the above-mentioned group “Shock”, and Pavel studied at the School for Gifted Children. Dmitry Kabalevsky in cello class, and later tried to continue musical education at the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied conducting. The attempt failed, as the conservatory was abandoned after the third year due to “the roof falling off due to rock and roll.” Before Time Out, he played in the group "Martin".
They met like this: at that time A. Minaev dreamed of a good guitar, looked for it for a long time and finally got the phone number of one person who supposedly had it. Having contacted the owner of the guitar, which, by the way, was not at all cool, but very homemade, Alexander Semenovich did not think long and offered its owner, Pavel Valerievich (a member of the Martin group), cooperation. So the Shock group got a new vocalist.
The first concert in St. Petersburg took place in 1992 at the Kirov Palace of Culture (now the Indie Club). To the great surprise of the concert organizers, with a capacity of 1000 people, Time Out attracted 1200 listeners.
The Science of Getting High
How did the science of Motology originate? Here's how it happened: Alexander Semenovich Minaev (Akaky Nazarych Zirnbirnshtein - ANZ), while in the Republic of Dagestan, went to the toilet in a hotel and found something similar to a toilet there, but it was actually not at all the same.
Exactly half of what is called a toilet in our country was sticking out of the wall in the restroom. It was then that ANZ realized that he was a motorologist. Later, in one of the interviews, he said the following words about himself: “And I’m not only Sasha, but also Akaki Nazarych Zirnbirnstein, I come up with all the jokes for our ensemble. Apparently, it’s lucky if some young journalists directly ask me: “Are you a fool?” I answer honestly: “Yes, you’re a fool.” I’m such an idiot that I managed to promote my business, which is what I wish for everyone.”
For Pavel Valerievich Molchanov (Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy - CCI), motology began differently. Having found a sign in the trash that said “dentist,” he brought it home and was about to nail it to the door, but it turned out to be too long. The resourceful Chamber of Commerce and Industry, without hesitation, tapped the sign and the inscription “matologist” shone on the door. The name Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy itself was formed from Torvlobnaya Petrovich Pustoy, whose origin is unknown.
Later, however, “matologists” became “motologists,” since media workers associated the first option with swearing, so the ensemble’s texts were feared like fire. After this, Time Out became an off-air group, which, for some reason, remains to this day. Although, the motologists themselves treat this with a degree of humor: on the cover of the Yokhan Palych Forever disc there is the following inscription - “100% Radio Suitable”. Does not contain obscene expressions or profanity. Unfortunately.”
Since then, the composition of the group has changed somewhat: young guitarist S. Stepanov replaced V. Pavlov, A. Rodin replaced Yu. Shipilov, and keyboardist R. Mukhachev also joined Time Out.
The promotion of the science of Motology occurs not only at Time Out concerts, but also at other events. For example, ANZ and CCI are the constant leading Bike Show, regularly performed at the rock festival “They Ruined Their Childhood,” winning it in several categories at once, at the MK and Beer festivals in Luzhniki and at many other events.
About motorological kurultai
Molchanov-Puzdoy spoke about one of the concerts: “That’s why we became motorologists, because we go out and play a concert, even when no one is listening to us. It doesn’t bother us at all, we play it for ourselves, we play it well. And then, every concert - this is some kind of event, we didn’t have one similar to the other. In St. Petersburg, for example, when we arrived with a motorcycle trick after SNC, we worked at the Indy Club, they showed us a device, everything we needed, and they said, they say, guys, you won’t gather a damn crowd. However, the hall was full, there was a completely bright, dazzling show. We put a cabinet on the stage next to the drums and held a competition “The Little Felt Kvachin” was supposed to suit someone. this “bastard” had the opportunity to sit in the closet for one song. But there were a lot of such “bastards” in the hall, and at the end of the concert the closet was simply smashed to smithereens - it was so much fun, however, later we had to pay the Indie Club for the damage. The concert also began in a very boring way: the curtain opens, and Styopa (Sergei Stepanov) stands on skis and with poles, the bindings on the skis are so stupid, not iron, but soft - for children."
One of the most famous concerts of Time Out in their current composition took place on April 21, 1995 for 12 minutes: at the North Pole with a wind speed of 5 m/s, a temperature of -38°C and subsequent 40%. In general, as motologists admitted, they had the coldest, in the sense of the frozen, audience there (about a hundred people), and they called the concert itself the most attended in the entire history of the North Pole.
When the motological ensemble arrived at the pole, there were already quite a lot of people there - various travelers and researchers. During Time Out's performance, someone played football, someone listened to motorological creativity. When the ensemble performed Yohan Palych, the Canadian scientist and traveler Wil Steiger appeared on a dog sled and, seeing a crowd of Russians, inflamed by the national drink (probably only ANZ and GGSK were sober, since they were fasting), spat and said the legendary phrase: “Not a pole , and some kind of passage yard!..”
But it still wasn’t without adventures. Firstly, ANZ and GGSC, who took with them only oranges and boiled rice from food, found them in a frozen state (the oranges turned into “billiard balls”, and the rice into “granite crumbs”). Secondly, they arrived at the pole wearing boots, after which they had to exchange them for polar explorers’ felt boots. Thirdly, TPP and AK, having had too much, mixed up the transport and flew not back to Taimyr, but to Franz Josef Land. So the concert at the pole was not a banal gathering and took place in a rather cheerful atmosphere.
In addition, the Time Out Ensemble every year old tradition, definitely plays a charity concert at the hospital for disabled children in the Olympic Village. The Kwachas have arrived
ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry gained wider fame while working on the radio program “Hello. Kvachi have arrived.” When motology could no longer be contained within the framework of concerts, the idea arose to present its doctrine to the public more widely. Then another proposal appeared. In 1990, a certain Yuri Spiridonov, who had previously worked with Time Out as a compere on tour, invited Minaev and Molchanov to the SNC radio that had opened at that time. At first there was no show, they were asked to just come chat on air and play their music. Stas Namin, director of SNC, liked it and invited them to work on air regularly. In 1992, the pretentious program, as the most popular on the radio station, was nominated for various awards (Golden Ostaps, all sorts of them), but the judges always shortchanged it and did not give it first place.
In 1992, the radio station was covered with a copper toilet and along with it the above-mentioned program. Only in December 1996 did she start caressing the heron's ears again. But instead of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the newly-minted motorologist Sergei Anatolyevich Stepanov (Gagey Gageevich Sikorsky Koncheny, aka GGSK) was talking with Akakiy. Since then, all this happened on Radio Silver Rain until October 25, 2000, when the program stopped airing.
She returned, however, the same week, but on Our Radio. And instead of the GGSC, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry again broadcasts and motorology is not particularly present there. It’s just that ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry are broadcasting for an hour.
In 1999, some changes took place in the program, while still on Dozhd - a new section, “Thin Ear,” appeared, something like the old “Hello, we are looking for talents.” In this part of the program, motologists broadcast poems and songs different groups or simply creative personalities, sent by them in advance to various kinds media. On April 8, 2000, a festival with the same name took place at the Svalka club, in which many of those whose works were heard on air took part.
Beer and knak...
Now about the Time Out drink. Oddly enough, it was not really beer, but real ale (more precisely, Khmel Time Out). The presentation of the drink took place at MNG"97. The advertising text read: "Time Out ale is made according to the technology and recipes of old English breweries without the use of preservatives under license and from concentrates provided by Concord. This unique double-fermentation beer matures, like champagne, directly in the bottle. It can “live” for up to three years, and over time it only becomes tastier, hoppier, healthier for the body and more beautiful in color. The presence of brewer's yeast sediment in the bottle is a must! It is thanks to “live” yeast that Time Out ale is a unique drink for people experiencing significant physical exercise. The complex of vitamins B, which is part of brewer's yeast, perfectly restores the body. Just one mug is enough and you will feel pleasant flexibility in your body and complacency!
This drink is no longer available. There was a company that knew a secret and original recipe for making ale, which was bottled in 1.5 liter bottles and labeled with the Time Out logo. Then motologists stopped ordering ale and it was lost forever. You can see it in one of the interviews with ANZ and GGSC from 1998 entitled “Living Collection”, which is interspersed with excerpts from the concert. By the way, during the performance of songs at that concert, motologists often sipped their ale.
And in general, the Time Out ensemble itself is very respectful of beer: ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry are members of the Beer Lovers Party (ANZ was even a candidate from the Republic of Tuva for the post of State Duma deputy from the PLP), and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry won the competition for drinking beer quickly (1 liter in about 5 seconds), for which I received another box as a reward. But the fame of the “beer ensemble” came to Time Out when the “Song about Beer” appeared, later called “Hymn to Beer” and released on the album “Chasing a Long Ruble”.
Torvlobnor Petrovich once took part in a talk show, winning a competition for drinking beer at speed - a liter in 5 seconds. For which he received a reward - another pack of beer.
As Akaki Nazarych said, his life has been connected with beer since childhood. The fact is that there was a famous brewery in the courtyard of his house, and now he lives in a house with a pub on the ground floor. So the happy motologist has always been and will be provided with beer to the fullest.
The case is being heard...
On August 5, 1999, the program “The Case is Hearing” took place. LDPR leader V.V. Zhirinovsky sued Russian rock, represented by A.S. Minaev - Akaki Nazarych Zirnbirnstein. Zhirinovsky stated that rock promotes the spread of drugs by mentioning the latter in songs. It was unclear what Time Out had to do with it, since motorcycle experts repeatedly called on those who started to quit and those who didn’t try not to start? ANZ has two daughters and he himself is not interested in the distribution and promotion of drugs. To illustrate the harmlessness of the songs, they even played a video of Yokhan Palych from the concert, but in the words “: the grass is greener:” V.V. Zhirinovsky caught it secret meaning, which could be unsafe for fans. Zhirinovsky, together with his lawyer and witnesses, attacked A.N.Z., but all their facts were unconvincing and Akaki easily fended off all the accusations. When they invited witnesses from the defendant’s side, Zhirinovsky’s entire attack fizzled out.
When the parties began to debate the parties, Zhirinovsky realized that the case was lost and proposed a settlement, saying in an apologetic voice that rock is good and even offered to draw up public organization Rock + Anti-drug politics. Akaki, being a noble man, supported the initiative and even shook hands with Zhirinovsky as a sign of reconciliation.
Motology in cinema...
Motologists don’t forget about film production. Along with the clips for the compositions “Fragments of Evil”, “I Love to Ride”, “Yokhan Palych”, “Autumn” and “Pinocchio”, there is also such a thing as the four-part film “The Kvachi Have Arrived”, which was even shown at the Anniversary of the Motorcycle Movement at MDM in 1998. In addition, Time Out was also writing music for some films, the latest of which is “DMB”.
Since Program A on television, Time Out appears rarely, but quite regularly. In addition to the Buratino video and the Live Collection, which can be seen relatively often, the motological ensemble is also honored with the presence of Caprice on MTv. In addition, there is Time Out in the Muz TV studio, in Anthropology, Sharks of the Feather and other programs. And at the end of 1999 - beginning of 2000, a television version of the program “Kvachi have arrived” was broadcast on MTv, hosted by ANZ and GGSK, but after some time it faded away.
But! There is another film that, at first glance, does not have much to do with motology, but does a great job of helping to understand the motological doctrine. It's about about the film by G. Danelia "Kin Dza Dza". Such famous aphorisms as, for example, “everyone lie down for half an hour,” “I loved you, I will teach you,” or that very famous “ku” came from there. And the music in the intro of “The Subtle Ear” is also taken from this film, and Danelia also had a hand in the “yellow pants”. Actually, all of it, both in terms of plot and other indicators, is of great motorological value.
Motorological New Year...
The Motological New Year began in Akaki’s apartment one June day over a glass of beer. A lemon tree covered in fish scales was placed on the table. Given such a combination of circumstances, motologists could not help but note such important holiday. By the way, it is also noted in wide circle fans of motorcycling in front of a large crowd of people, but not in the summer, but in the late autumn. When celebrating MNG, motologists recommend decorating the lemon tree with dried wild cucumbers, drinking beer, scattering fish scales (preferably bream) around the apartment and dancing fiery motological dances, of course.
Bream scales, according to ANZ, are remarkable in that after you scatter them on the carpet, they are not completely cleaned out. So throughout the year you will certainly find flakes in the carpet that will immediately evoke pleasant memories of the holiday.
The lemon tree became an attribute of the MNG due to the fact that in the summer it was difficult (and too lazy) to find a Christmas tree, so it was this tree that was put on the summer New Year's table. Then, in the early nineties, this tree was still green and healthy in all respects, but Akaki Nazarych himself destroyed it (he simply did not water it), which led to the tree drying up. Now it is decorated with dried wild cucumbers that look like hedgehogs, and other crap.
For the kvachas themselves New Year is another holiday, or, more precisely, a reason to spend time. And the best pastime, according to the motological doctrine, is “drinking and snacking.” Where else can you do this other than at a concert? Motologists even advocated for MNG to be made a national holiday and declared a day off, for which they signed and submitted a petition to the State Duma.
Kvachi and BigMac...
In 1999, a new fan club of Time Out was formed, nicknamed Big MAK (International Association of Quaches). Before that, there was another fan club called MAK. With the new fan club, Time Out received more powerful and well-organized support from fans due to the fact that the fan club provides its members with discounts and other benefits in exchange for ever-increasing love and devotion.
The Rybba bird Kvach is a creature in felt boots, with an udder and scales on its body. Kvacha give birth head first (if you give birth with your tail forward, you get the so-called “effect of a cone stuck in your mouth” - it goes in and doesn’t go back out). Motologists themselves define a kvach as follows: a kvach is a creature of the future with an udder and wearing felt boots. It is self-sufficient, for which it has an udder, through which kvacha milk is produced and consumed by the kvacha. Akaki Nazarych himself said that “kvachi are those who believe: one must live happily, and what is not a pleasure must be made into a pleasure.”
Kvach, like most living beings, comes in two genders: kvach (male) and mamzel or kvachikha (female). There are also cases when fairly old people joined the Kvacha movement. Then men became kvachas, and women became honorary ladies of motorology. It is impossible to become a motorologist. Only the GGSC managed to increase the number of motorologists - it became third after the ANZ and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Therefore, such titles as, say, “motorwoman” are absent as such.
In order to become a kvach, you need to listen to several radio programs or go to a Time Out concert, or even better, do both. In general, kvachas can be called those people who support the motological doctrine and are fans of the motological ensemble.
Separate creativity...
Here A. Minaev did not further ado and published the book “Zopuh, the Bobson cockroach and more.” It included many, many creations of the motologist, both very old from the SNC times, and new ones that appeared shortly before the book was published. Among them are: famous works, like “Poem about a Nail”, of course, “Bobson the Cockroach”, as well as song lyrics, scientific treatises on motorology, stories about Zopokha and much more. In addition, the book is decorated with drawings by A. Minaev and his youngest daughter Julia.
But Torvlobnor Petrovich was the first to succeed in this matter. Regardless of the ensemble, already under the name P. Molchanov, he released two solo album, recorded and mixed in his own home studio. Both albums consist mainly of slow acoustic compositions. Title of the first solo album " Magical forest", the second - "Everything is out there".
Experienced Kvachi still remember Molchanov’s other hobby - drawing. A clear confirmation of this is the cover of the album “Yokhan Palych”, on which there are three drawings by Molchanov. One of them is "Rooster on the Roost". Naturally, the creativity of the motologist artist is not limited to album design - in 1997 he spent quite a bit of time successful exhibition own paintings. Molchanov, of course, was also interested in prose and poetry, but not to the same extent as Minaev, so his poems and stories are known to a narrower circle of motorology fans. Thus, everyone was once again convinced to what extent motologists and the motological community are involved in traditional culture. So if, after all, the musicians from Time Out suddenly end their careers, we will be able to see at least two talented artists and writers.
Modern composition of the Time Out Ensemble:
Bass, vocals - Alexander Minaev
Vocals, acoustics - Pavel Molchanov
Lead guitar - Sergey Stepanov
Drums - Andrey Rodin
Director - Alexey Privalov
Sound engineer - Sergey Pedchenko
The Time-Out group is a Soviet and Russian group representing the rock genre. The project was founded in 1987 by Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev. The group became the founder of the cult of motorology.
Start
In 1986, Alexander Minaev had already played in several bands and decided to organize a project that would represent heavy metal. The newly formed team was named “Shock” and became a member of the Moscow Rock Laboratory. It was there that Alexander Minaev met Pavel Molchanov. At that time, the latter was the vocalist of the Martin group. Minaev called Molchanov to his place. Thus, the future rock group “Time-Out” found its creative basis for many years.
In 1987, Vladislav Zorin, music director, met the “Shock” project. At a certain point, his group refused to tour the North Caucasus. At the same time, the concerts have already been announced and posters posted. The group that refused was called Time Out. As a result, the director began to look for a team that would agree to perform under someone else's name. Molchanov and Minaev accepted the offer, thereby beginning the history of the new team.
Era of Zorin
Under the patronage of the above-mentioned musical director, for two years the Time-Out group traveled to the Far East, the Urals and the North Caucasus. This period was characterized by a frantic pace of work, when the musicians were not home for months, instability of the lineup and not always good organization of tours. From time to time, musicians were forced to put up with the fact that they did not have basic amenities at their disposal. It was under these conditions that “The Science of the High” was created. With her came a whole series of poems, prose, jokes and songs.
Thus, we can say that “Time-Out” is a group that became the pioneer of the direction of motorology, which until a certain point was still in the shadows.
By 1989, the historical composition of the group had been formed: vocals - Pavel Molchanov, bass guitar - Alexander Minaev, electric guitar - Vladimir Pavlov, drums - Yuri Shipilov. The group parted ways with Zorin and received from him the right to the name, which was already assigned to this association.
After returning to Moscow, the musicians recorded their first album entitled “We Love You.” In 1990, Yuri Shipilov left the group for religious reasons. Andrei Rodin, an acquaintance of Pavel Molchanov, came to the vacant seat.
"The quachas have arrived"
The Time Out group got on the radio. This happened due to the fact that in 1991, Yuri Spiridonov (a friend of the team from the Moscow Rock Laboratory) invited its leaders to his program called “Parents’ Day,” which aired on SNC. The musicians seriously prepared and staged a real bacchanalia live. Introducing themselves as rock and roll veterans Akaki Nazarych Zirnbirnstein and Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdym, the guests had fun for an hour, read out musical treatises, and also sang songs. The program aired in 1991, on May 29. This date became the birthday of motorology.
The shocking image and dashing jokes appealed to the taste of the listeners. As a result, the musicians were invited to permanent collaboration. The new program was called “Hello! The kwachas have arrived!” There were also some dissatisfied people. Demands to stop the broadcast rained down on the station. Stas Namin, director of SNC, stood up for the duo and gave the project carte blanche to broadcast. Despite all the scandalous fame, the program was nominated for the Golden Ostap award and received a silver statuette. After the closure of the SNC station in 1992, the project was broadcast on RaKurs. Then there was a period of wandering across frequencies. In 1996, the program settled on “Silver Rain”.
Motology
Thanks to its success on radio, a direction that for a long time was the property of a circle of friends, began to penetrate into creativity. In 1991, the Time-Out group recorded their debut motorcycle album entitled “Medical Equipment”. Some songs received a warm reception on the radio, and the band went on tour. It was at this time that Vladimir Pavlov left the group.
Alexander Minaev, while looking for a replacement, remembered the musician of the Legion band. Both groups often toured together. As a result, Sergei Stepanov joined the team. This is how the Time-Out group found its updated composition.
“Pinocchio” is a song that has turned into one of the main motorological finds. The group played a cover of the song from the film of the same name, which was released in 1975. The composition fits into the concept so well that the group still performs it today.
Present tense
In 2009, Pavel Molchanov left the team. Wanting to save the project, Rodin and Minaev invited Roman Mukhachev and Sergei Stepanov. The reshuffle was formalized during the motorcycle New Year celebrations. The concert was divided into three parts: trio, quintet and new line-up. It soon became known that the group would re-record unreleased material, as well as a number of old songs.
In 2010, at the celebration of the motorcycle New Year, it was presented new album"Cabbage". At the event, unsold CDs of the band's songs were distributed free of charge. The team is actively involved in the tour schedule. The program exists in acoustic and electric formats.
In 2016, Roman Mukhachev went into long-term rehabilitation after a stroke. He also turned to the band's fans asking for help. Olesya Grinfeld, a backing vocalist, took his place. She took part in the work on the album “Cabbage”. Soon Olesya left the group. At the same time, saxophonist, backing vocalist and flutist Evgeniy Chernyakov joined the lineup.
Based on the radio broadcast mentioned above, a four-part film was created called “The Kwachas have arrived!” with Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev in leading roles. According to legend, Pavel Molchanov found a dentist’s sign broken into 2 parts in a garbage dump. The inscription “one hundred” seemed insufficiently meaningful to him. The “matologist” fragment is located on Molchanov’s door.
Current composition
Now you know how the Time Out group was formed. Its composition has changed slightly. Currently, Alexander Minaev plays acoustic and bass guitar and is a vocalist. Evgeny Chernyakov is responsible for flute and saxophone. Andrey Rodin took over drums. Sergey Stepanov plays acoustic and electric guitar, and is also one of the vocalists.
Home[edit | edit wiki text]
In 1986, Alexander Minaev, who managed to play in various bands, decided to organize his own project in the heavy metal style. A newly formed group called “Shock” joined the Moscow Rock Laboratory, where Minaev met Pavel Molchanov, then the vocalist of the group “Martin”. Things with “Martin” left much to be desired, and Minaev lured Molchanov to join his ensemble, thereby forming the creative backbone of the group for many years (Molchanov - Minaev).
In 1987, music director Vladislav Zorin came to Shock. As it turned out, at a crucial moment his ward group, with the name “Time-Out,” refused to tour the North Caucasus, despite the fact that the concerts had already been announced and the posters were posted. This forced him to look for a group that would agree to perform under a different name. After some thought, Minaev and Molchanov agreed. This is how the current “Time Out” began.
Era of Zorin[edit | edit wiki text]
Over the next two years, under the patronage of Zorin, the group traveled to the North Caucasus, the Urals and the Far East. The frantic pace of work, when the musicians were not at home for months, and the unstable composition were combined with the not always well-thought-out organization of tours. From time to time we had to put up with the lack of basic amenities. In such conditions, the “science of highs” was born, and with it a whole cycle of prose, poetry, songs and jokes, which for the time being, as well as Motology itself, remained in the shadows.
By 1989, the first historical composition of the group was formed: Pavel Molchanov - vocals, Alexander Minaev - bass guitar, Vladimir Pavlov (Yokhan Palych) - electric guitar and Yuri Shipilov - drums. The ensemble parted ways with Zorin, having received from him the right to the name that had already been assigned to the group, and upon returning to Moscow, they recorded their first album, “We Love You,” consisting of program songs from the rapidly passing era of “Zopukha.”
In 1990, Yuri Shipilov left the group for religious reasons. His place was taken by Pavel Molchanov’s longtime acquaintance from the days of “Martin,” Andrei Rodin (Kislorodin).
Hello! The quachas have arrived![edit | edit wiki text]
In 1991, a longtime acquaintance of the group from the Moscow Rock Laboratory, Yuri Spiridonov, invited Pavel Molchanov and Alexander Minaev to his program “Parents' Day” on SNC radio. The musicians did not lose face and, having seriously prepared, staged a real bacchanalia live. Introducing themselves as veterans of domestic rock and roll Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdym (Molchanov) and Akakiy Nazarych Zirnbirnshtein (Minaev), the guests sang songs for the entire hour, read motorcycle treatises and generally had fun to the fullest. The release date of this program, May 29, 1991, is considered the “birthday of motorology.”
The dashing jokes and shocking image, which were, to put it mildly, new to domestic radio, pleased the listeners and the “veterans” were invited to permanent jobs. The new program was called “Hello! The kwachas have arrived!” But there were also dissatisfied people. The presenters, according to spiteful critics, were in a state of strong alcohol and/or drug intoxication during the broadcasts, which Minaev and Molchanov themselves have repeatedly denied. The radio station received demands to close the program. Then SNC director Stas Namin stood up for the duo, giving the show carte blanche to broadcast.
Despite such scandalous fame, “Zdrastenafig” was nominated for the “Golden Ostap” award in the “Best Humorous Radio Broadcast” category, eventually receiving a silver statuette.
After the closure of SNC radio in 1992, the program aired on radio “Rakurs”, then, after a short period of wandering around radio frequencies, in 1996 it settled on radio “Silver Rain”.
In 1997, Pavel Molchanov resigned as presenter, and his place was taken by Sergei Stepanov (Gagey Gageich Sikorsky-Koncheny).
In the period from 1999 to 2000, the MTV channel aired a television version of the program with the same presenters.
In 2000, “Hello!” moved to Nashe Radio. Molchanov returned to the place of the departed Stepanov.
The latest incarnation of the program under the new name “NAKHN (On the move of the foot)” aired in the periods 2003-2005. on radio “On-line” and 2005-2006. on radio "Youth". The presenters were Alexander Minaev (Akaky Nazarych Zirnbirnstein (ANZ)) and Evgeny Rybov (Nagunail Parallapsovich Permindyur (NPP)).
Motology[edit | edit wiki text]
Impressed by the success on the radio, motology, which until recently was the property of a narrow circle of friends, began to penetrate into the ensemble’s work.
In 1991, Time-Out recorded his first motorcycle album, Medical Equipment. Songs such as “Somewhere beyond the forest a cactus is rotting,” “Handbag hole” and “Where are my cogs” received a warm reception on the radio, and the group went on tour under the banner of the science of getting high. At this moment, Vladimir Pavlov left the ensemble without explanation. Alexander Minaev, in search of a replacement, remembered the guitarist of the group “Legion”, with which Time-Out often toured, and offered him a job in the ensemble. This is how Sergei Stepanov appeared in the team. Around the same time, against the backdrop of an increase in keyboard parts in the program, Roman Mukhachev, who was a longtime friend of Molchanov and more than once helped the ensemble as a session musician, joined the group. Molchanov’s colleague with Minaev on SNC radio Erkin Tuzmukhamedov also joined the team as a director. The list of radio colleagues involved in the affairs of the ensemble did not end with this: Robert Rednikin and Sergei Pedchenko worked as sound engineers at different times.
The group began to evolve musically. If earlier the basis of the repertoire was heavy metal, somewhat diluted with lyrical ballads, then with the advent of motorology, the stylistic range began to expand. Vivid examples of this transformation can be considered such songs as “Pancakes with sour cream”, “Yokhan Palych”, “Plyuts about tsatseta”, “Country” (formerly known as “Dance about hemorrhoids”), etc. But the main find was the performance at concerts cover of the song “Pinocchio” from the 1975 film of the same name. The song fits so well into the motological ideology that the ensemble still performs it to this day.
Concerts dedicated to the celebrations of the “Motological New Year” in the fall and the “Anniversary of the Motorological Movement” in the spring have become traditional for the group.
As a quintet, the group toured until 1995, during which time they recorded two live albums and gained a reputation as one of the best live rock bands.
In 1995, Roman Mukhachev was fired from the group on the grounds of “systematic absenteeism from concerts.”
Conquest of the Pole[edit | edit wiki text]
On April 21, 1995, one of the most famous Time Out concerts took place, which took place at the geographic point of the North Pole at a wind speed of 5 m/s and a temperature of −25 °C. The duration was about 12 minutes.
In general, as motologists admitted, they had the coldest, in the sense of the frozen, audience there (about a hundred people), and they called the concert itself the most attended in the entire history of the North Pole. Moreover, this concert went down in the history of both motorology and the world. This is confirmed by the corresponding entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
Quartet[edit | edit wiki text]
The group gained particular popularity among bikers. Among other things, this was facilitated by the song “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to the love of riding motorcycles. Under the patronage of the Night Wolves, the ensemble began to take part in the club’s annual bike shows. In particular, Minaev and Molchanov were the permanent presenters of these events from 1995 to 1999, and the director of the team, Erkin Tuzmukhamedov, began publishing the magazine “I Love to Ride,” dedicated to everything that is ridden.
The second half of the nineties passed for the group under the banner of consolidating its achievements. The group did not experience a shortage of material, which made it possible to consistently release albums until 2001.
In addition to the magazine mentioned above, ale also began to be produced under the brand name of the Motological Music Ensemble. “Khmel Time-Out” was bottled in 1.5 liter bottles and sold directly at the band’s concert venues. This drink is currently not available.
In 1999, in the program “Hello!” The “Thin Ear” competition section appeared, during which the hosts played songs by unknown and beginning musicians. The finalists had the opportunity to perform at a festival organized by the group, which took place on April 8, 2000 at the Svalka club. The headliner was Time Out himself.
In June 2000, the group took part in the Russian rock festival “Wings”.
Trio[edit | edit wiki text]
At the end of 2001, Sergei Stepanov left the group. The ensemble began performing in a trio format, sometimes inviting session musicians to concerts. The album recorded by this lineup was never released. The official comment on the current situation was extremely brief: “We cannot reach an agreement with the publishers.” However, new songs could be heard at concerts and on the radio.
On January 26, 2003, the second “Thin Ear” festival took place at the “B2” club, but without radio support. On October 24, 2003, the first acoustic concert in the history of the group was given in the Central House of Artists, where Pavel Molchanov played the piano, Alexander Minaev on the guitar, and Andrei Rodin on percussion. The experiment was successful. Thus, the number of electric performances is being reduced in favor of acoustic and unplugged concerts.
In 2004, the Alexey Rybnikov Theater together with Yuri Entin began work on the musical production of “Pinocchio” based on the film of the same name. According to the idea, live musical accompaniment was to be performed during the performance, thereby equating the performance with a rock opera. “Time Out” was chosen for this purpose. Alexey Efimov performed as keyboard player. In addition, the vocal section was strengthened by the Moscow Blues quartet, with whom the group subsequently continued to collaborate outside the performance. The premiere of the rock fairy tale took place on June 7, 2007 at the Mir concert hall on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. By the fall of 2008, over 80 performances took place with the constant participation of the group, after which the project ended.
Present tense[edit | edit wiki text]
At the end of 2009, Pavel Molchanov, known in Motological circles as Torvlobnor Petrovich Puzdoy, left the team in order, together with his wife, to become closely involved in teaching within the framework of their own creative workshop “Fortissimo”. Wanting to save the group, Minaev and Rodin invited back Sergei Stepanov and Roman Mukhachev.
Reshuffles in the composition were formalized on October 24 of the same year at the celebration of the “motorcycle New Year”. The concert was divided into three parts: in the first, the group performed in the usual format (trio), in the second, with an expanded lineup (quintet), and in the third, with a new lineup.
On the eve of the New Year 2010, it became known that the ensemble would re-record all unreleased material and several old songs from previous records.
On November 27, 2010, as part of the “Motological New Year” celebration, a presentation of a new album called “Cabbage” took place. A few hours before the concert, an autograph session was held with the musicians at the Tochka club, where everyone could purchase a new record and paraphernalia. In addition, unsold audio cassettes of the group's recordings were distributed free of charge during the event.
At the moment, the group is actively involved in the touring schedule. According to established tradition, the new program exists in electric and acoustic formats.
