| Happy Women's Day! |
Dear Women!
Today's the only holiday we have along the year
To worship beauty of your smiles and of your minds
But we forget to thank the Holy Heavens
For having it beside us all the time
In all the poems and the songs performed
We worship you, should otherwise be said
Survive the moments when life's going wrong
And smile when all expect your tears instead!
Ever Yours,
PLAYOFF Rock Team

| PLAYOFF at 'Biker's Bar', Donetsk |
Having woken up in the morning of 16th February (after a gig the previous night), still sleepy, we embarked on our tour bus and sped off for Donbass. The shiny weather worked its magic on us and our spirits got higher along the way. Passing through the Odessa, Nikolayev, Kherson, Zaporozhie and Donetsk regions, we observed the beauty of their views and by the evening reached the desired point - 'Bikers's Bar' club in Donetsk.

| Happy St. Valentine's Day! |
We congratulate all loving, falling in love or just amorous with your professional holiday - St. Valentine's Day! Let this feeling stay with you forever! Give it to your beloved, since love is always giving and not expecting anything in return.
On that day we would love to give you some lines from several lovely songs about love:
Too much love will kill you if you can't make up your mind. (F. Mercury)
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill. (E. Presley)
Do you believe in life after love? (Cher)
This love has taken its toll on me - she said good bye too many times before! (Maroon 5)
Love is getting too cynical, passion just physical these days. (R. Williams)
I love you so much can't count all the ways I've died for you girl and all they can say is 'He's not your kind'. (Urge Overkill)
óÍÅÒÔØ ÓÔÏÉÔ ÔÏÇÏ, ÞÔÏÂÙ ÖÉÔØ, Á ÌÀÂÏ×Ø ÓÔÏÉÔ ÔÏÇÏ, ÞÔÏÂÙ ÖÄÁÔØ. (÷. ãÏÊ)
/ Death is worth living, and love is worth waiting (V. Tsoi, the Russian rock singer).
Love ain't sure when you bother no more than once in a while:

| 'On stage with Vysotskiy' |
The year 2008 started for me with:Vysotskiy. With his songs, his life story, his friends' memories. While preparing materials for the concert commemorated to the 70th anniversary of Vladimir Vysotskiy, I caught myself at the thought, that 'how interesting the life must have been at those times when he lived!'. Despite all the bans, denunciations and arrests, poets had what to write about, what to strive for and what to aim at. New big names in Russian poetry appeared then: Bella Akhmadulina, Andrei Voznesenskiy, Eugene Evtushenko, Bulat Okudjava, Vladimir Vysotskiy. In their works they praised all the best in man. Their concerts and plays were sold out at any point of the country:

| Happy New 2008 Year! |
We'd like to wish all our friends, fans and colleagues Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. We're truly grateful for staying with us along the year 2007 - for visiting our gigs, listening to our records and sending your reviews to our web page. All this inspired us greatly to create, perform, record and not to get down.
The last year was more eventful for the band than ever before.
in the beginning of 2007 two new musicians joined the squad - Stas (drums) and Oleg (bass), having formed a solid and fun-loving rhythm-section
in the spring of 2007 our songs have won the ring-tones contest 'MuzDjuice' held by the Ukrainian mobile operator Kyivstar. As a result, in the summer we went on our first big tour, having performed in 22 Ukrainian cities along one month
our team started to play friendly football matches with our fans. We hope to keep this tradition in the next year as well
along the summer and fall of 2007 PLAYOFF rock team recorded the second album which is planned to be released in the beginning of 2008
at the end of 2007 the first song in Russian was written by the band. We're going to present it to you in the upcoming gigs.
And the most important - during the last year at our concerts we met a lot of wonderful people. They, or to put it correct - YOU - have given us your smiles, which we're going to take with us to 2008.
And in 2008 we're wishing you:
To live a very interesting year,
To fulfill as many good deeds as possible,
To manage to learn something worthwhile,
To love and be loved,
To have health to spare,
To forgive everyone who can be forgiven,
To always remain optimists!
Ever yours,
PLAYOFF Rock Team

| THANKSGIVING DAY in Pobeda |
Oddly enough, our team have performed on American holidays more often than on Ukrainian. We still remember that fantastic concert on 4th July (Independence Day) in 'Dikiy Z', and this time we decided to give a gig on the last Thursday of November (29.11) - Thanksgiving Day. Although it turned out that we were one week late, as this year the fourth Thursday in November was not the last as usual (22.11). Nevertheless, we had our own thanksgiving in order to thank all our fans for coming to our gigs and buying our CDs along the year. Thanks a million!

| Recording the second album. Chapter 3 |
This time our team went recording 'by portions'. Mitya and Stas were the first ones to go. Nikolaev met us with unwelcoming grey sky and pouring rain. But like on a submarine, at Pansound you never depend on weather conditions. The weather is always warm here and atmosphere creative. No sooner than we arrived at the studio, we began the recording of the 4 tracks that left over.

Party concerts are always exciting because here you may cross the usual borders, which ordinary gigs have. LSE Halloween Party was the best one for fooling around, buzzing, yelling and dancing, shortly - having fun!
