The
Nothingdoers play contemporary folk-rock oriented music with English
lyrics. Because of the appalling situation with independent music
recordings in Russia, The Nothingdoers cling to the principles of DIY in
their recordings and in the process of album promotion, so they still
remain unsigned and plan to continue releasing their future recordings
under the Creative Commons license. Starting their collaboration as a
two-guitar act, the guys recorded their first two albums, “The Unplugged
Room Of Killed Time” (2004) and “Tonight” (2005) using cheap mics and
home PCs.
After 2005, Igor and George played
together in some indie-rock and punk bands, improving their skills as
stage performers and then got back to their home studios to record their
third full-length album, “Twenty Past Sixteen” (2008), which is now
available for free download on the Web. In Fall 2009 The Nothingdoers
again began making live appearances in Moscow and St. Petersburg venues,
performing songs from “Twenty Past Sixteen” and some new stuff from the
upcoming record, which is going to feature over 10 tracks in various
genres. The Nothingdoers’ musical influences include such artists as
Beck, Micah P. Hinson, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Sonic
Youth, Kings Of Convenience etc.
