Brigada S

Brigada S (Брига́да С) was a Soviet/Russian rock band fronted by Garik Sukachov which played dynamic mix of rough rock and roll, reggae and rhythm and blues marked by the effective use of the brass section. Formed in 1984 the self-described "proletarian jazz orchestra" released five albums (first two on tape), toured the United States (1988) and appeared in Savva Kulish's film The Tragedy in Rock (1988) before breaking up in 1993. After the band's demise, Garik Sukachov went on to front Neprikasayemye (The Untouchables), while guitarist Sergey Galanin formed SerGa.[1]
