This is a sad story about the band that could(and maybe still can) achieve its glory,but failed at it due to many factors.
The band was started by Stanislav Kurazovsky(Stas from now on) who at that time just mastered his electric guitar and wished to do something about it.He brought the idea to his friends who also played some musical instruments and together they hired a teacher to bring them to a proffecional level.At first there were only three constant members and one who played with them occasionaly.They played covers(other's songs) at first,as any other beginning band.
Stas was playing lead guitar,Andrei played the bass and Ira(nicknamed "Shlanga") played keyboards.Soon they saw that they are getting nowhere,having no drums,no singer and no constant rythm guitarist as well.And so Stas asked me(Vadim,yours truelly) and my friend Boris to join in.Boris was playing rythm guitar and I was the singer(not very good one at first).As we were making progress in our abilities,first serious problem has occured.Me and Stas are heavy metal lovers while others wished to play other things as well.Whereas I agreed to that,Stas didn't want to hear nothing about it.Big arguments and fights crippled us for a short period of time.After that I decided that perphaps a material of our own would solve the problem and for some time it did.By that time we lost Shlanga("too much pressure" was her excuse) and gained a constant drummer.It was our teacher's son,Sergei(nicknamed "Shaggy").We started to work on our own songs and did pretty well,but again due to taste differences we lost another member.Boris has left us in the middle of a song he composed music to.On top of that,we could no longer afford to hire the teacher as well as the place at wich we rehersed.We had less than a month in our disposal and we made the most of it.First we took Moshe Azulai to play rythm guitar.We,then,constantly regreted we didn't do it sooner.Moshe,unlike Boris,shared our pation for heavy metal and had the equipment for it.He also was much more enthusiastic about the band and put much more effort.
Unfortunatly,all good comes to an end.The recordings we made had really poor quality(as the equipment),and we lost all motivation to continue(and how could we with no money or members).
Army service was due and so our matriculation exams.We stopped playing together,although I didn't stop writting myself.I still hope that some day we will come together and finish what we have started.
By the way,the name "Infinite Dreams" was given to the band only recently by me.This was another thing we could never agree on,so I took the initiotive in my hands.
And now for the members:
Stanislav Kurazovsky - Lead Guitar
Vadim "The Dreamer" Gorodetsky - Vocals
Andrei Smokovsky - Bass Guitar
Moshe Azulai - Rythm Guitar
Sergei "Shaggy" Irlin - Drums
You probably wouldn't be interested,but here are the lyrics I wrote for our band's songs.

When Stas returns from the army I plan to record some sample of our songs with him.Those will be posted here,of course.
