The band "1.5.0." has formed in 2006 in Yaroslavl, Russia. Started as an accompanying group for a singer/songwriter Artem Shabanov, it furtherly swelled into a experimental rock community, which tries to play any genres its members do like. Many musicians hadn't accepted the idea of so-called 'musical melting pot' and had to leave. After an year of a very hard rehearsal work and many troubles with finding adherents, the band finally set its line up. Now "1.5.0.'" are: Artem Shabanov (vocal, irish whistles), Anton Manuilov (guitars, sequencers, concepts), Alexander Mischenko (guitars), Alexander Veliky (bass), Slava Ovchinnikov (drums) and Alexey Kruglov (keyboards, etc). At the time being the band plays sort of a "space rock" (as we think it should be)blended with some grim stoner riffs, light brit-pop beats, trip-hop mysteriousness, lively funky rhythms and uncompromising electronic IDM and DnB feels, covered with dense effects grease.
