Pages: 1 2
The group 'The House of Dolls ' was formed in autumn 1997 inside the walls of the SPK 'Zarechiye' by five musicians: Dmitry Sychev (vocal, an acoustic guitar), Arseny Sychov (bass - guitar), Sergey Darenskih (percussions), Vladislav Alekseev(rhythm-guitar) and Edward Mindubaev (solo-guitar).
