Tequilajazzz are an alternativc rock band from Saint-Petersburg. Their classic line-up included the vocalist and bassist Evgeny “I-I-I� Fedorov, the drummer Alexander “Doocer� Voronov and the guitarist Constantin Fedorov. The band was founded in 1993 and their first album Strelyali? brought them some acclaim in the local hardcore scene.Their sophomore effort, Virus (1997) became a definite Breakthrough Hit. Songs off this albums were heavily rotated on rock-oriented FM-stations, videos were made for three tracks off Virus. Tequilajazzz was invited to important Russian rock festivals. As In 1997 dance remixes were a huge trend, the band made the one for the track Samolyot (Aeroplane) which became one of their main hits.The third album by the band, Celluloid was intended to become an even greater breakthrough in 1998, making them huge rock stars. It was softer than its predecessor, various videos appeared on music TV, journalists wrote rave reviews. The song “Winter Song�, radio friendly in comparison to their previous radio singles, became a pretty big hit, so did “Last Summer’s Theme�. In the end it did not bring them the planned rock superstardom as the music of Tequilajazzz was still too heavy for the wide rock audience. However Tequilajazzz was named the band of the years by the OM magazine. Celluloid probably remains their most important album and is always highly placed on the lists of all time best Russian rock-oriented records.The fourth album, 150 Billions Steps, was, frankly speaking, more of the same, though by no means a stedown. It was a set of excellent songs and produced one hit.After three albums in three years which brought the band a fairly big success (as in being proclaimed the band of the year by rock magazines and several of their songs awarded as well) but showed their limitations (as in not being able to really woo the millions) Tequilajazzz took a pause and returned in 2002. Their new album, Vyshe Oseni (Above the Autumn) was once more approved by their audience and it is generally considered a creative success but the time has changed and the band could not hope to make a sensation any more in the early 2000's.Then band maturity set in and a new album (Zhurnal Zhivogo, The Journal of a Living (person)) appeared in 2009, the first and the only full-length release not to receive any accolades. Its name was a hint at the Livejournal, which was then all the heat.After that record, the band’s three members parted their ways in 2010. In 2013 they reunited for some performances and since then the band kept an “on-and-off� status. In 2016 Tequilajazzz lost one of their original musicians, Konstantin Fedorov, who was replaced by a totally new guitarist. The group released a new album of acoustic songs, NEBYLO, in 2018.The style of the band can be compared to Faith No More or Nomeansno (in Tequilajazzz's more experimental moments).

Dead Artists Are Better
 Tequilajazzz (Music) / int_7e38ea1
comment
Dead Artists Are Better: Probably the point of the song Rosenbom. Its text lists many dead stars, Including Jimi Hendrix, Ian Curtis, Sid Vicious, then goes "� ты еще крепкий �тарик, Розенбом" (You are still a robust old man, Rosenbom). Rosenbom might be an allusion to a certain Russian singer-songwriter, who is very uncool in the eyes of an alternative rock band.

Spoken Word in Music: In Rosenbom Fedorov speaks out "� ты еще крепкий �тарик, Розенбом" (You are still a robust old man, Rosenbom). In Pistolet Fedorov speaks out Eins, Zwei, Polizei In Poslednyaya (The last one) Evegeny Fedorov pronounces a lengthy monologue about his intense night life which includes partying, smoking and drinking.

I Am the Band
 Tequilajazzz (Music) / int_919c59b6
comment
I Am the Band: Played with for Evgeny Fedorov. He is recognisabledue to his baldness and without him the band would not exist but so is Alexander Voronov, who has some charisma of his own. As both of them were a part of the band during its gradual reunion, it is Tequilajazzz all right. Constantin Fedorov is somewhat of a generic guy and while he was obviously an integral part of the classic 90's line-up, his absense does not cancel the reunion even if somewhat lessens its impact.

Lighter and Softer: The traject of the band in 90's. Strelyali? (1994) was a very hardcore record, Virus (1997) was somewhat lighetr and Celluloid (1998) even more radio-friendly, meaning rock stations, but with some attempts at pop songs.

Title-Only Chorus
 Tequilajazzz (Music) / int_d40b9465
comment
Title-Only Chorus: Last Summer's Theme is an original variant of this trope. The first verse has it that "this tune without verse or chorus happened to become our last summer's theme". Then the chorus is indeed made up by several memorable guitar notes played over and over again. Then follows second verse and once more the same chorus. Thus the chorus does not have the words at all, only the "guitar theme" but the theme is named in the song title.
