Nochniye Snaiperi

''Nochnyie Snaipery'' ((ロシア語:''Ночные Снайперы''), literally "Night Snipers") is a Russian rock group. It was founded in 1993 as an acoustic female duo of Diana Arbenina ((ロシア語:Диана Серге́евна Арбенина)) and Svetlana Surganova ((ロシア語:Светлана Яковлевна Сурганова)). The ladies played guitar and violin respectively, sharing the vocal and songwriting duties evenly, eventually adding amplification to the band. Since its inception the band has participated in a variety of Russian musical festivals — from the underground (such as ''Babye Leto'' and ''Moguchaya Kuchka'') to the major events (Nashestvie, Maxidrom, ''Krylya''), as well as touring extensively domestically and abroad.
''Night Snipers'' best known singles are ''Tridtsatpervaya Vesna'' ("31st Spring"), ''Rubezh'' ("Frontier"), ''Stolitsa'' ("Capital"), ''Asfalt'' ("Asphalt"), and ''Aktrisa'' ("Actress"). The majority of the songs in the band's repertoire is written by Arbenina and Surganova, but some use the poetry of such famous authors as Joseph Brodsky, Anna Akhmatova, and Federico Garcia Lorca.
In 2002 Svetlana Surganova left the band to create her own group ''Surganova i Orkestr'' ("Surganova and Orchestra"), and Diana remained the headliner of ''Night Snipers''.
==Early history==
The official date of ''Night Snipers'' creation can be considered August 19, 1993 when Diana Arbenina and Svetlana Surganova met in Saint Petersburg. Soon afterwards they performed as an acoustic duo at the Second All-Russian Bard Song Festival, after which Diana returned to her home city of Magadan, and the creative project was placed on hiatus.
In November 1993 Surganova moved to Magadan, and for the remainder of the academic year the duo gave concerts at a local casino "Imperial" and at the Magadan University where Diana was a student at the time. They also recorded a series of home concerts, given for the benefit of friends and relatives. These early recordings are quite sought out by the fans of the band. It is anecdotally accepted that the name ''Night Snipers'' was chosen after Diana and Svetlana were walking to public transportation after a gig, carrying a guitar and a violin in their cases, and were accosted by a man wanting to know if they were walking "to hunt or from a hunt," thinking their instruments were shotguns.
In May 1994 Snipers had won a regional round of the All-Russian Musical Competition "Student Spring" and tripped west to Samara for the finals, eventually moving back to St. Petersburg. While based there, the duo continued an active life of gigs, songwriting, underground performances etc., building a loyal following. 1996 sees Snipers in their first trip outside of Russia to attend a student festival in Denmark. Two books of their texts are published in the same year - ''Цель'' ("Goal") and ''Дрянь'' (Rotter) (called "anti-songs" by the authors.)
In February 1997 Diana and Svetlana added amplification to the acoustic guitar and violin, and collaborated with the drummers from the St. Petersburg band ''Soyuz Kommertcheskogo Avangarda'' ("The Union of Commercial Avant-Garde") Yura Degtyaryov and Alexei Ivanov, as well as with the guitar soloist Denis Doulitsky from the ''Vacuum band.
In June 1997 "Night Snipers" debuted on the Internet. Getting more notoriety, Diana and Svetlana sought help from the bands ''Ulme'' and ''Kuzya-band'' in recording some of their songs, which later would make up the album ''Detskiy Lepet'' ("Child's Babble"), published in 1999.
After graduating from university, Diana and Svetlana devote all of their attention to professional music. In the summer of 1998 the women use an auditorium at the St Petersburg Zoo to record their first official album ''Kaplya Diogtia/V Botchke Meda'' ("Drop of tar/In a barrel of honey"), which is sold on audio tapes. They also acquire a manager (Svetlana Loseva) who organized the band's participation at the "Sirin" festival of female vocalists held in Tyumen. Loseva also introduces the Snipers to the former musicians from an iconic Russian rock group Nautilus Pompilius - bassist Igor Kopylov and drummer Albert Potapkin, who begin to perform with the band. By early 1999, Snipers are in rotation on radio and television in St Petersburg, and in May 1999 they have their first performance in Moscow. Their first official website makes debut that spring as well.
The sound of the early ''Snipers'' is quite unusual in its choice of violin (and sometimes flute) layered on the guitar riffs and rhythms, growing out of the acoustic traditions of Russian bards, and evoking some traditions of gypsy music, as well as some parallels with country music. The song content concerns mostly love and loss, and could be compared to early Ani DiFranco without the political overtones.
