The ‘Ekzistencia’ music band started on July 3, 2000 (first rehearsal) on deciding to create such a band by two volunteers Aleksey Prasolov and Aleksey Osichenko. Actually, this band was by no means the “Ekzistencia” existing now, but rather a hobby group where all the participants only learned the proper way of playing musical instruments. http://ekzistencia.com/index.php?page=releases&lang=en
