It Started, Quite Simply, Like This...

YaineYa first announced itself in the summer of 2010. As the musicians themselves note, music styles such as math-rock, indie, ambient, jazz and even grindcore have influenced their music. However, not being true followers of directions and genres, to which the work of the group is often attributed, YaineYa go their own way, based on their own idea of what should be modern independent experimental music. After playing with many drummers, the ideologist, vocalist and guitarist of the band Semyon, decided to use live musicians in live performances. Since the appearance of YaineYa released 8 albums and 6 singles, played dozens of concerts across Russia, took part in almost all interesting concerts and festivals in the city of Kazan.
