The band started in 1997 as "Alexander Kostarev's QUADRAPHONIC SOUND THEATRE" with Ekaterina Morozova on keyboards, Roman Bobrovsky on drums and Alexander Kostarev on guitar (the name then was changed to KosMoBob, and later to Kostarev Group). First album "Vegetarian" was recorded in 2000-2001, but finally mixed only in 2006 (see song "Heawy Water"), not published yet. In 2002 the band (with a flute, a violin and a bassoon added) presented a new program - "Concerto Grosso" - in the genre named "time fusion", a music without temporal borders, as if one far observer can simultaneously listen to music of last 4 centuries (see our videos and song "Menuetto"). In 2003 a live performance in Moscow at InProg-2003 Progressive Rock Fest has been captured and released on an independent label "Starless Records" (band participated in all InProg festivals from the 2-nd in 2003 to 2006). In 2006 the compilation "Kostarev Works 1978-2006", combining studio and live materials was collected and released (http://www.raig.ru/kostarev.asp). In December 2006 the song "Who's flying over me" appears at "Theme of Appreciation" - A Worldwide Tribute to Eddie Jobson compilation CD (http://repple.se/toa/)

WON JAMES WON is a sort of creative laboratory which is run by a medley of absurdist chaos. They have got Tikhon “Hee-Haw” Kubov (of JAZZLOBSTER, I.F.K., WOMBA, etc.), Danila “Muscular” Smirnov (of KIRPICHI, PRAVDA, SPERMADONARZ, MUX, etc.), Ivan “Mandwill” Ljudewig (of KIRPICHI, PRAVDA, etc.), Alexander “Edward” Telpook (of MUX, PRAVDA, etc.), and uncertain number of associate-minded communards on board. There are some confusing things to know about this formation. The first one is that all musicians have a permanent job in nationally acclaimed professional rock-groups and, in certain respects, are parts of the Russian show-business. The second fact is that not only all of them live in accordance with concert-schedules of the corresponding groups but, moreover, they live in diverse cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Still and all, WJW feel and act as a single whole organism making rare but regular stage appearances, studio sessions, and album productions.

WON JAMES WON is a major creative act of the ZveZdaZ art-movement. Some skeptics may argue that this is nothing more than another side project compiled by the popular musicians who got tied from public expectations, engagements, restrictions, limitations, etc. It’s not unlikely, but don’t expect to hear them intelligible or fashionable. WJW touch upon almost every musical style imaginable and cynically perverts everything in their own infinite manner. Defiant freaks of noisy rock-instrumentations, sampled electronics, wild vocalizations, ambiguous texts, eccentric shows – you can’t puzzle out what they meant till the last drop – this is the best experimental rock music ever produced in Russia!
