Mirage (Russian band)

[1] Mirage borrowed their musical style from other disco groups of the time such as Modern Talking and Bad Boys Blue.

Gulkina and Suhankina shared vocals on the debut album The Stars Await Us (Russian: Звёзды нас Ждут) .

[1] Litjagin decided to create several "doubles" of Mirage to simultaneously tour different Russian cities, with the vocalists performing along with the studio session recording done by Gulkina and Suhankina.

Among the new performers on stage were guitarist Igor Ponomarev, keyboardist Roman Zhukov, drummer Sergei Solopov, dancer Svetlana Razina (also the girlfriend of Litjagin), and "vocalists" Tatiana Ovsiyenko and Irina Saltykova.

Relations did improve enough for the three to collaborate on a poorly received fourth album, A Thousand Stars (Russian: Тысяча Звёзд), released in 2009.

Currently, "Mirage" consists of Ekaterina Boldysheva (vocals), Alexei Gorbashov (guitar), Andrey Grishin (drums), and Sergey Krylov (keyboard instruments).
