The Gentlemen Music Club is honored to have “The Four Glorious Sevens” of the Vienna music scene with us!
The all-star band consists of
Georgij Makazaria (frontman of “Russkaja” – vocals, guitar),
Aliosha Biz (devil fiddler and comedian – vocals, violin),
Alexander Shevchenko (half of the duo “Klezmer Reloaded” – vocals, accordion),
and Roman Grinberg (Vienna Jewish Choir Master – vocals, piano).
The four find pearls in the film, jazz, and dance music of the so-called Golden Age of the 20th century as well as in the folklore of Western, Southern, Central, and Eastern Europe. The “Gents” have many known and unknown songs with a lot of passion and nostalgia in their luggage. They bring every party to an emotional explosion and every concert stage to glow!
That’s Gentlemen’s Music World!
GENTLEMEN
Georgij Makazaria
The Wild One.
Lead vocals. Voice and face of the band. Known through radio and television appearances (Russkaja/Willkommen Österreich). Moscow-born. They still miss him there. Knows a lot of people. And they know him - not always a matter of course. Needs at least 16 hours sleep a day. You will see why. Almost took over a trading company once. Decided then to concentrate on rock ´n roll. Thank God.
Roman Grinberg
The Wise One.
Born in Moldavia. Was a First Gunner in the Austrian Army. So watch your step. Sings and plays piano. Beautifully. If any important event in Vienna happens without him being the musical director, then either the organizers don't know him (yet), or they're clueless. The coolest grandfather in Vienna. Lives in Meidling, but avoids using the Meidlinger "L" when speaking. Acted in a sex film aged 18. As a Cossack. In a war scene. Without sex.
Alexander Shevchenko
The Quiet One.
Quiet waters run deep. Born in the Ukraine. Not even the Foreign Ministry knows in which country his birthplace now lies. God of the Bajan (button accordion). He even got a diploma and won competitions. Plays sitting down, because that thing is heavy. Can whistle loudly. Known to Klezmer fans (Klezmer Reloaded etc). Proud new owner of an Austrian passport. Is even allowed to travel to Germany.
Aliosha Biz
The Grousing One.
Dynamic, tending towards explosiveness. Inventor of the patented Kalashnikov bowing technique. You may notice it. Also from Moscow. They preferred not to have him there however. Very practical on tour - fits in every car. Known to World Music fans (Dobrek Bistro etc) and theatre-goers (Josefstadt, Volkstheater etc). The only non-Austrian mentioned in the Wienerlied information booklet for tourists. Likes talking about this fact to members of the audience after concerts.
