The song "Gitar" is most popular in Greece, Germany and Slovakia.

Musical style

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Peter_Nalitch_2009_9.jpg" caption="Peter Nalitch on stage"] ::

Peter Nalitch sings in Russian, English (the latter with a Russian accent, which he refuses to hide), Italian ("Santa Lucia"), French ("Il pleut toujours", on the EP "More") and Baburi, an invented language.

In the wake of this idea of self-promotion on the web, the band has given, on September 17, 2009, an acoustic concert from their own flat, broadcast live on RuTube (a local videohosting and live broadcasting site). On October 30, 2009, they broadcast another show live on RuTube, this time a real concert in Moscow.
