Started in 2004 as a modest but ambitious folk quartet with tuba and electric guitar NAYEKHOVICHI has grown into flexible, loud and extravagant klezmer rock'n'roll 9-piece orchestra. In their quest to create an authentic concept of Russian Roots Rock they have passed Scylla and Charybdis of rootless "ethnojazz" and folklorist academism, met with wisemen and rabbis, growed a patisson and crashed a chariot. Half of the repertoire is bunch of liveliest klezmer tunes treated with honesty of a drunk goldsmith while the other half is songs - some of them folk Yiddish, some of them original compositions in Yiddish, some Soviet pop, some klezmerized rock. NAYEKHOVICHI collaborate(d) with greats of international klezmer scene such as Sophie Solomon, the Corresponding Fiddler of NAYEKHOVICHI, on whose soon-to-release cd Vanya Zhuk also appears as a guest vocalist, Merlin Shepherd (the young tsimbl player Zheka Lizin is part of His Kapelye and plays on its CD), Paul Brody and Michael Alpert.
