Quest pistols are now fire. The complete history of the composition of the Quest Pistols Show group

Anton Savlepov is a Ukrainian musician and showman, former vocalist of the Quest Pistols. Now the soloist is part of the Agon group. In 2016, Savlepov made his debut as a jury member and mentor in the popular talent show “X Factor”.

Anton was born in the village of Kovsharovka, located in the Kharkov region. At the age of six, the boy was sent to a ballroom choreography studio, and since then Anton has not parted with music and dancing. As a teenager, Savlepov became interested in the work of American pop idol, began to wear outrageous clothes, grew long hair and changed his dancing style to breakdancing.

After school, Anton went to Kyiv and entered the Kiev National University of Culture and Art in the choreographic department. True, he did not have the opportunity to study fully at the university. Just a month later, the director of the modern ballet Quest invited Savlepov to join the dance group. Anton became the third member of the group of dancers, where Konstantin Borovskoy had already been accepted before him. The producer said about Anton’s talent that he breaks dance like no one else. With the dance group, Savlepov began large-scale touring activities.

During the same period, the young man actively starred in music videos. An athletic figure, above average height (174 cm) and an expressive look attracted the attention of music video directors to Savlepov’s person. And since Anton wore a hairstyle that was not yet very common among young people - dreadlocks, his role was strictly defined, but very popular.

Gradually the popularity of ballet increased. The guys appeared as backup dancers for the biggest Ukrainian, Russian and even Western show business stars. As a result, Yuri Bardash came up with the idea of ​​​​turning the dance group into a musical show group. First of all, the dancers needed to master the basics of vocal skills. Anton and Nikita and their teacher practiced vocals, and Borovsky was assigned the role of a rapper.

Music

In 2007, the vocal trio Quest Pistols was founded. The debut of the musical group took place on April 1 on the television talent competition “Chance”. The audience did not expect from the previously dance group that the guys would also sing, so the song “I’m tired” caused a stir among the audience. It was a cover version of the song “Long and lonesome road” from the repertoire of the famous group Shocking Blue.

The Quest Pistols' performance was accompanied by breathtaking dancing, which immediately determined the team's individual style. Initially, the event was conceived as an original performance, but thanks to the audience's sympathy, the one-time performance gave birth to a grandiose musical project. During the TV audience voting, 60 thousand people cast votes for the Quest Pistols group.

The next hit, “White Dragonfly of Love,” authored by an aspiring musician, turned out to be no less popular. Other hits were written by the frontman of the group “My Rockets” Alexander Chemerov, known under the pseudonym Isolde Chatham.

At first, the group's repertoire included only 3-4 songs, which was not enough for full-fledged concerts. The solution was found to be quite simple: first, the Quest Pistols showed dance numbers for about half an hour, and then sang the songs they had in stock. The group gained popularity in Ukraine, Russia, neighboring countries, as well as in Europe. Musicians of the Ukrainian trio Quest Pistols performed at several international festivals, including in Belgium at a concert in support of a healthy lifestyle. In 2008, the group won the MTV Europe Music Awards in the category “Best Performer of Ukraine”.

But over time, the repertoire expanded, and in 2007 the debut studio album “For You” was released, which received platinum status. It was followed by the release of the disc “Magic Colors + ROCK"N"ROLL and Lace", and in 2009 the musicians released the album Superklass.

In 2011, Anton Savlepov decided to leave the musical group, which he announced in the press, but a month later the artist returned. For a while, Daniil Matseychuk (Daniel Joy) became the fourth member of the group. In addition to the songs included in the albums, the group’s hits “I am your drug”, “Revolution”, “You are so beautiful”, “Different”, “Coolest of all” were popular.

In addition, in 2013, Anton, under the pseudonym Zorko, recorded a solo disc of the same name. Simultaneously with his creativity, the artist began entrepreneurial activity and launched the production of the Zorko clothing brand. The musician continued to perform with the group, but only until the beginning of 2016. Then unexpected news fell on Quest Pistols fans: one after another, the leading soloists left the band, and newcomers came to take their place. In 2016, the updated lineup recorded a new album, “Lyubimka,” which included the singles “Dissimilar” and “I’ll Kill.”

Anton Savlepov also left. A new period has begun in the artist’s creative biography. The musician, together with Nikita Goryuk and Konstantin Borovsky, founded a new pop group “Agon”, thus recreating the first line-up of the Quest Pistols.

The team immediately recorded a number of new compositions, of which “Let Go” and “Everyone for Himself” stood out. The songs were included in the album “#I will love you.” In 2016, the team recorded videos for the hits “Summer” and “Opa Opa”. And in 2017, the “Superhero” clips “Provoke” and “Run” were released.

Movies and TV shows

Anton Savlepov is a creative and enthusiastic person; it was not enough for the artist to just sing and dance, so one day Savlepov decided to try out opportunities in cinema. As an actor, the young man appeared on the set in the romantic comedy “Exchange Wedding” and the humorous musical “Like the Cossacks.”

Many times the singer was invited to various television shows, including the popular program and “Big Difference.”

Personal life

For a long time, the artist did not start a permanent relationship. But while creating the Agon group, Anton met a girl named Yulia, a designer by profession, who took the place of art director of the musical group. After a month of courtship, the singer made Yulia an offer that she could not refuse. The wedding took place secretly, the bride and groom wore casual clothes. Anton met his wife’s parents only after the wedding.

The spouses do not yet have children together, but the artist dreams of having 20 kids. Anton develops his parenting skills by communicating with Yulia’s daughter Mira. The girl fell in love with her stepfather and is proud of him. Anton names the girl Dove of Peace. The artist is satisfied with his personal life and protects his still small family from everyday storms.

Anton Savlepov is a musician, singer, actor and show judge. At one time, the young man maintained a personal culinary video blog in which he promoted vegetarianism. The singer is interested in esotericism and yoga, and studies Indian culture.

The former lead singer of the Quest Pistols has a large number of tattoos, which are located on his back, chest and arms. Most of these drawings were made out of impulsive desire, and Anton already regrets these decisions, considers them a mistake of his youth and is going to get a tattoo. But judging by the photo from “ Instagram“Antona, the artist has not yet fulfilled his plans.

Anton Savlepov now

In 2016, Anton Savlepov became a member of the jury at the X-Factor talent competition. Together with a musician from the group "Agon", the mentors' chairs were occupied by,. The TV presenters of the show were also.

Anton found the experience of working as a mentor interesting and interesting. Unexpectedly for the public, the winner was the ward of the novice teacher Anton Savlepov, a singer from Armenia. Second place went to the Kyiv group DETACH, supervised by Yulia Sanina, and the third place went to the musical group Mountain Breeze, part of Andrey Danilko’s team. Now Sevak Khanagyan is preparing to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, for which mentor Anton Savlepov congratulated the musician.

Back in 2007, the Quest Pistols burst into Russian show business and, like a tsunami, demolished everything familiar. They flooded it with their romantic pop-glam dance-rock and got us seriously hooked on their “I’m Your Drug.” And in 2014, the group members said: “Now we are not a group, but a show.” Following this, a series of changes followed: the charismatic Brazilian Washington, the alien-looking girl Mariam and the young man Ivan appeared in the team. And almost immediately after this, the most extraordinary member Nikita Goryuk left the group, which made all the fans cry all night long and write sad letters to him. And then Anton Savlepov disappeared somewhere. And from the beloved and dear group, in general, there was nothing left.

Return

They are together again! Nikita Goryuk, Anton Savlepov and Konstantin Borovsky are back and ready to rock. They promise that it will be just “Agon”. Well, we're waiting, guys!

And you can get acquainted with the first track “Agnya” now! Listen to your own voices rather and lose yourself in a light, stylish, tube composition that will go especially well today, just before the weekend. By the way, it’s quite possible that you already know this single: it’s played everywhere – on the radio, in the minibus and on your neighbor’s speakers.

The words and music for the debut composition were written by Sasha Chemerov, the same one who created all the coolest hits of QP.

About prospects

Whether “Agon” will shoot the same way as QP once did, time will tell. Part of the old fan guard of Nikita, Anton and Konstantin expect new emotions and opuses from their idols. And the artists themselves are more than determined. Despite their already mature age, they are full of pure, downright youthful enthusiasm and are especially pleased with the name they chose for the new project:

“Having restored the original fiery composition, we intend to open fire and attack your feelings,” the guys proudly declare.

“Our “Agon” is another round in life. This is our first experience of working independently on a project of this level. We are very inspired and, despite the increased responsibility, we are determined to develop a new group so that our creative fire flares up with even greater force. Without a doubt, “Agon” is a book from the very top shelf of the library of Russian pop music. Once you open it, you will see for yourself.”

About daily matters

– Why did you decide to reunite with the old line-up?

– The idea was on the surface and the events of recent years, the departure of all the original participants, brought the situation to its implementation and, in fact, the reunion itself.

– How long have you been preparing to return?

– The preparation actually took quite a long time. This is not a spontaneous step taken as a result of several accidents, but a sequence of movements.

-Why the name of the new group “Agon”? Did you come up with it together?

– The name came out quite spontaneously. As you probably want when you come up with a name. To be honest, on a whim. That was the moment when it was decided that we all wanted to do this, and we would do it no matter what. The next question was what to name the group. Some of us said that the main thing is that the title should be “just agony” or something like that. In the end, despite other options, it turned out that this was the very name. “Agon” is a creative force, a creative element, passion and motivation, without which there is no creative process.

– Will anything change in the group’s work?

“Everything will change, because we have matured and gained experience since the founding of the group, but at the same time, something will remain unchanged - our trinity and the songs of Sasha Chemerov. If we tell you exactly what it is, you will become bored watching us.

– Will the style of the band members and the style of music change?

– Our style changes all the time, it’s the rhythm of life. But still, the style of the group itself will be more organic and sophisticated than it was before. Now this is not a project in which we, one way or another, participate, this is our conscious initiative, honest joint creativity, our ideas and our vision. This is how everything is determined - from appearance and behavior to the meaning of songs and video clips.

Meet our new artists - the group "AGON". Former members and creators of Quest Pistols are together again: Anton Savlepov and Nikita Goryuk, as well as Konstantin Borovsky, who left the mega-popular band several years ago, teamed up to participate in a new group with the hot name “AGON”.

At one time, thanks to Anton, Nikita and Kostya, the Quest Pistols group became the brightest event in the world of Russian show business. “White Dragonfly of Love”, “I’m Tired”, “You’re So Beautiful” and many other hits loved by millions of people were created with the participation of these original members of the group.

“Our “AGON” is another round in life. First experience of working independently on a project of this level. We are very inspired and, despite the increased responsibility, we are determined to develop a new group so that our creative fire flares up with even greater force. Without a doubt, “AGON” is a book from the very top shelf of the library of Russian pop music. Once you open it, you will see for yourself.”

The guy fell in love with Ukraine at first sight, so he soon moved to live in Kyiv. Feeling a craving for dancing, he enters the university to become a choreographer. It’s just not his destiny to finish his studies. A year later he began performing in the group Quest Pistols, and had to put his studies on hold. In addition to vocals and dancing, the soloist is interested in drawing, tattoos and rare bikes, and even gets around on his own motor scooter.

Creative activities Quest Pistols

The guys’ first debut song is the composition “I’m tired”, which sounded April 1, 2007. Especially for her, the guys thought out simple dance moves so that the listener could not only sing along, but also dance. A rousing melody, easy-to-remember words, and a special manner of performance are the key to great success. As a result, the song gave many people joy, a good mood, and a smile. This is also evidenced by the fact that the hit became the absolute leader in the number of downloads and views (about 60,000 thousand viewer votes) in such a short period of time. In May of the same year, the first video “I’m tired” appeared. Five months later, namely in October 2007, the first album entitled “For You” was released. It included 15 tracks, including the debut hit “I’m Tired,” “Days of Glamor” and “I’m Tired (Remix).” The album not only managed to take an honorable place in the ranking, but also exceeded all levels in terms of the number of discs sold. As for the opinions of critics, they all left only positive reviews.

IN 2009 year, the second album is released, including ten compositions.

in winter 2011 The third album was released this year, and Anton also began to talk about leaving the group. However, a week later, the leader changed his mind and returned back. Reporters were told that this was some kind of hoax. In the same year, some amendments did take place in their composition. Danil Matseychuk joined them, and Konstantin Borovsky left.

Biography of Daniil Matseychuk

Daniil was born on September 20, 1988 in the very heart of Ukraine - the city of Kyiv. He, like the rest of the group, leads a healthy lifestyle. But to join the team, it took him some time to learn the movements and repertoire. And it is unknown how he would have coped if Anton had not helped him master all the subtleties of choreography. At one time, Daniil helped Anton by letting him live with him, but now it’s the other way around.

IN 2012 year, the fourth, last to date, album is released, including six songs.

IN 2013 year, Daniil left the group and joined Konstantin. Together they created their own musical group with a similar name, their own clothing brand, as well as a club project.

At the very end of the current one at the time of publication, 2014, a new track from Quest Pistols is released - Santa Lucia, which, like many tracks of this group, is receiving wide recognition among young people.

Over all their years of existence, the guys have matured, changed, overcome many obstacles on their way and - most importantly - were able to reach the top. Now they have many years of experience, an audience of millions who will always remember their compositions, dance moves and everything else. What will happen to the group next, only time will tell, but if other songs do appear, the audience will only be glad to hear them.

About all the members of the Quest Pistols Show group

The history of the group began in 2004. It was then that choreographers Anton Savlepov, Konstantin Borovsky and Nikita Goryuk founded the dance group Quest Pistols. They defined their style as “aggressive-intelligent-pop”. The guys performed quite successfully in front of the Kyiv public, but there was no talk of real popularity yet. Then producer Yuri Bardash sent Anton and Nikita to vocal lessons, and Borovsky was assigned the role of rapper.

The breakthrough occurred on April 1, 2007, on the “Chance” project, broadcast by the Inter TV channel, when a cover of “Long and Lonesome Road” by the Dutch group “Shocking Blue” was performed. The performance instantly received 60 thousand messages of support, and the composition “I’m tired” occupied the first positions of the main domestic charts for a long time.

In September of the same year, in Belgium, the Pistols performed the “Dance Against Poison” program in support of a healthy lifestyle. Many people don’t believe it, but “quests” do not drink alcohol or nicotine, and actively promote vegetarianism. They also do not listen to club music and do not visit bars.

The success of the guys from Quest Pistols was stunning. They did not have time to give interviews, and their photos constantly flashed in Russian and Ukrainian glossy tabloids. In 2011, fans were alarmed by the unpleasant news that Anton Savlepov was leaving the team, but this information was soon refuted. Around the same time, Konstantin Borovsky announced a change of status and transition from soloists to curators, and another participant joined the guys - Daniel Joy (Daniil Matseychuk).

In 2013, Kostya Borovsky and Matseychuk left QP to create the boy band KBDM. Despite the fact that critics started talking about a creative crisis, “Fast Pistols” continued to tour together, and soon they were joined by an incognito participant in a mask.

Originally conceived as a trio, the group grew to five members in 2014. Washington Salles, as well as Ivan Krishtoforenko and Mariam Turkmenbaeva joined the team. Soon Daniil Matseychuk returned to the team. But the main laurels still belonged to the three founders: Goryuk, Savlepov and Borovsky, and the newcomers remained behind the scenes for some time. And only when the updated title appeared and the group received a new name Quest Pistols Show, information began to appear about a change in concept and sound.

Today the team prioritizes high-quality visual images, vivid images and choreography honed to perfection. The opposing images of the participants create the impression of a dance battle, but despite the unusual format, the new tracks turn out to be very harmonious and memorable.

To date, Quest Pistols has three full-length albums in its baggage.

• In 2007 - “For You”;
• In 2009 - “Superklass”,
• In 2017 - “Favorite”.

The team is the winner of the Golden Gramophone and MTV Europe Music Awards. QP have applied to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest several times: once from Russia and twice from Ukraine. In 2009, it was not possible to pass the selection due to the fact that the composition “White Dragonfly of Love”, in violation of the rules, was already broadcast on radio and TV. In 2010, the group applied to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo with the song “I am your drug”, but the guys failed to make it to the list of finalists. In 2011, another unsuccessful attempt was made.

Hits of the group Quest Pistols

The next hit after the sensational cover “I’m tired” was the composition “White Dragonfly of Love”, which collected a record number of views on the Youtube video hosting site. It’s interesting that at the very beginning of their creative career, the pop trio’s repertoire consisted of only 3-4 songs, and this was clearly not enough for full-fledged concerts. The guys found a simple way out: first, “Pistols” rocked the hall with their dance routines for about half an hour, and then performed the songs they had in stock.

By 2007, the repertoire expanded, and the debut album “For You” was released. Almost all the texts were written by the leader of the musical group “Dymna Sumish” Alexander Chemerov under the pseudonym of Izolda Chekhi. The only composition from the period 2007-2012 written by another author is “White Dragonfly of Love” by aspiring musician Nikolai Voronov. Works of later years were written by the group’s lead singer Nikita Goryuk.

The list of other famous hits of the Quest Pistols Show group includes the compositions “Days of Glamor”, “Cage”, “He’s Near”, “Revolution”, “I’m Your Drug” and “You’re So Beautiful”. Thanks to them, the album “For You” received gold status in Ukraine.

In 2011, the first line-up change took place and Borovsky was replaced by Daniil Matseychuk, who took part in the recording of such video works as “Different”, “Romeo”, Let’s Forget Everything” and “You’ve Lost Weight” (with Lolita Milyavskaya). Around the same moment, Anton Savlepov wanted to leave the team, but after the release of the video “You are so beautiful,” he changed his mind.

At the beginning of 2014, popular tabloids increasingly began to write that the team was in a creative crisis. At the same time, Nikita Goryuk released his solo track “White Bride”. Many predicted that the group would cease to exist. But Goryuk and Savlepov continued to tour together, presenting the public with the new single “Baby boy”. And a little later they appeared to the public in a completely new role and introduced new participants. The presentation of the new line-up was marked by the release of a cover of Igor Siliverstov’s 1992 composition “Santa Lucia”.

On November 15, 2014, the band went on a world tour with the premiere of the Quest Pistols Show. The concept of the show became the basis of the group’s new philosophy, which later led the Quest Pistols group to the format of a show project performing dance, club house music.

On November 13, the premiere of a video with Mariam Turkmenbayeva’s solo performance “Alien” took place, and on December 31, the returning Daniil Matseychuk (Daniel Joy) presented the video “We Know for sure.”

In April 2016, at the premiere of the “Dissimilar” video, fans saw the group in the format in which it performs to this day. On September 1, a new video “Coolest of all” was released, and in October the band performed at a large-scale solo “Different Concert” and presented their first album “Lyubimka” with the updated lineup.

The audience enthusiastically accepted the new compositions of the Quest Pistols show, which focus on the quality of choreography. And despite the fact that the vocal component does not yet reach the level of the “pistols” of the first line-up, the participants promise fans to maintain the same provocative and slightly vulgar style and make concert performances no less vibrant than before.
