New sounds from Minsk
Let's check out NUTEKI's newest record! I discovered the group around 2015. Today, let's take a throwback from their beginning almost 20 years ago through the decades until today!
Back story
NUTEKI is an Alternative Rock band currently based from Minsk (Belarus) and founded 2007 by Mikhail Nokarashvili (vocals). The current members are Mikhail, Tom (bass guitar), Alex (guitar), Bogdan (guitar) and Ales (drums).
The group sings in three languages - Russian, Belarusian and English. NUTEKI are famous and well known for its fabulous and spectacular performances.
These guys write their own lyrics and music, as well, created over the last almost 20 years their own style. They evolved and entered many Genre influences, such as Alternative, Rock/ Metal, Pop and Electronic Beats.
"Inspiration comes from everyday life - music reflects real feelings, challenges, troubles and dreams.
Shows must be performed in such a way that the people would still be interested to see them even with no audio".
Over the span of their career, NUTEKI took part in the Belarusian national contest to represent the country on Eurovision Song Contest four times. They became semifinalists in 2011, won the second place in 2013, became in fifth in 2014 and got second in 2017.
2007 - 2013 · The scene in Russia, Belarus & Ukraine
In February 2008, NUTEKI self-released their debut single "Glass of My Soul", which later became the band's most popular release to date. After this release, the band participated in the "Destined to Be Number One" music contest held in Moscow and managed to take the first place.
This achievement was incredibly important in the history of the band, seeing as all the members' ages ranged from 16 to 18 years during that period. Following the success, the band headlined the 45-date "Summer Music Festival" during the summer of the same year.
On August 1, 2010, the band's debut album "Digital Dreams" was released. In the beginning of 2011's Summer, the band started recording the music video for "The Clowns", which is released in June 2012. The year of 2011 was a very active period for the group, during which they had numerous concerts, including "The Big Clowns Show" tour across Ukraine. In February 2012 NUTEKI releases their first acoustic album called "Unplugged #1"
THE BGNNG (2014-2019)
In 2014, NUTEKI self-released their EP "THE BGNNG", which consists the first chapter of their second album and music video song "Wind Inside". In 2015, NUTEKI released their most known song "Дни-километры" (Days-Kilometers).
2021 - today
NUTEKI continued their musical journey with their Single Releases "Girl don't cry" and "Koma", which had a huge aspect in the actual situation. Followed by their newest record Стекло моей души 2.0 / Glass of my Soul, a remake of the band's first released song in 2008.
Singing guitar
NUTEKI's newest record comes with a quite chilling vibe, filmed in the sunset of San Francisco, which underlines the atmosphere. The song reflects the search for your way in life, your inner voice. Depending on the lyrics, it's the guitar, the sound of your inner melody, that guides your way home. By the noise of everything that is around us, we can sometimes lose ourselves. These words are a wake-up call to go back on your path, listening to your inner voice.
