APRIL RAIN

April Rain biography
APRIL RAIN is a post rock group from Saint Petersburg consisting of Valery BYKOV, Pasha KUZNETSOV, Vasiliy (Vaska) ZHURAVLEV and Denis ARINOVICH. The group started out as a one-man band in Krasnodon, Ukraine where the initial idea was to play tunes influenced by the likes of SIGUR ROS.

In 2014 the current line-up in the form of a quartet was born when opportunities for live concerts came up in Lugansk. Because of the civil war in Ukraine, the group moved to Russia and started working from Saint Petersburg where they signed on the record label 'Fluttery Records' and continued creating new music.

Vasiliy ZHURAVLEV left the band sometime after the "Mirror of Ether" album had been released and promoted in 2021, and was replaced on bass later that year by THE OTHER WIND's departing bassist Anton (Tosha) MEDVEDEV.
