Biography
edit1989–1995: "Laskovyi Mai"
editFame came to Vladimir Shurochkin in 1989, when he became a member of the Laskovyi Mai pop group.
In the second half of the 1980s, Shurochkin was one of the musicians of the Rush Hour VIA under the direction of Mikhail Tomilin. The ensemble performed music in the style of "electropop" with elements of the "new wave" and was based at the studio of the famous composer Igor Granov.
At the end of 1988, a conflict occurred between Igor Granov and the producer of the Laskovy May group, Andrei Razin. The reason was the disruption of the planned tour of "Laskovyi Mai" in Kharkov, which was organized by Granov. In order not to cancel the concerts, Igor Granov decided to release the musicians of the Rush Hour group on stage.
In the shortest possible time they rehearsed all the material of "Laskovyi Mai" and worked out all the scheduled concerts called "Laskovyi Mai-2". Moreover, unlike the original "Laskovyi Mai", they played and sang exclusively "live", that is, without a phonogram.
After that, Igor Granov officially assigned the name "Laskovyi Mai-2" to the team, and Vladimir Shurochkin and 13-year-old Roman Emelianenko became the main soloists of the group. The “Birds” magnetic album is released (already with its own repertoire), and the “Doves” video clip is actively rotated on television.
In March 1989, composer Sergei Kuznetsov left Laskovyi Mai. And then, despite the inflamed "information war" between the two groups, Andrey Razin invited Shurochkin to participate in his project as a composer and vocalist. Together with the poet Alla Goltseva, Vladimir wrote several songs that were published as the eighth magnetic album of "Laskovyi Mai" called "Goodbye, baby!". A couple of songs in the album are performed by Andrey Razin, the rest are by Shurochkin himself. The album became the leader of the hit parade of the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper.
In 1990, Shurochkin left the group and began a solo career.
