Jessica Alba, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Becky G and Sofia Vergara
Las Vegas is famous not only for its numerous casinos, but also for its grand performances by stars. Among those who have been delighting guests and residents of the world capital of entertainment and excitement with their concerts for several years in a row are.
J.Lo presented the show All I Have back in January 2016, but every year its popularity is only growing. Moreover, not only her fans, but also many celebrity friends and colleagues fly to Las Vegas to dance to the singer’s hits. So, last night, Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara and Dua Lipa rocked Lopez's show.
Incredible show! JLo is fire!
— Alba shared her impressions and photos with the hostess of the evening on her Instagram.
I attended the concert of the singer and Selena Gomez. She, however, did not look into Lopez’s dressing room after the show. Well, or she just didn’t want to be photographed with everyone, but later, on the social network, she once again thanked Jen for the great show:
Soooo good! I was glad to see you this night!
By the way, at the presentation of All I Have two years ago Lopez was in the company of Casper Smart, but today at almost all of her shows you can meet Alex Rodriguez, who never tires of sharing incendiary videos with his beloved with subscribers on social networks.
- Igor Faust, decided to create a project, the stylistic niche for which had not yet been occupied. The group had to consist of experienced musicians so that it could achieve the desired result in a fairly short time. Since I myself I. Faust He played the bass guitar quite masterfully, all that was left was to find a decent drummer, a couple of guitarists and a vocalist. He was invited to play the role of the king of drums, without any casting. Kutukov Igor(ex- BURNING SNOW, who at that time, having returned from Moscow, was, to put it mildly, out of work), to which the latter responded with great desire. The role of the first violin in the guitar row was given to a little-known, but promising, Alexey Petrov, whose playing style was reminiscent of such guitar giants as Joe Satriani And Stevie Vai. After a short search, the second guitarist was found Andrey Germizeev. There was one step left until the full composition was reached. And after going through numerous options in December 1996, the entire team came to negotiate with Dmitry Parshin. (By then D. Parshin was the leader of a sensational group STRAVINSKY, but disagreements with the other participants made it impossible for him to remain in the group). The negotiations ended positively and in January 1997 the musicians began rehearsals.
Leaders of a steam locomotive named LAS VEGAS steel I. Faust And D. Parshin, whose ideas were to make up the lion's share of the team's creativity. Initially, there was no stylistic goal of what to emulate or what to “mow” to; the task was to create a competitive, mobile team working “live” at a high professional level. After a certain period of time, a sufficient amount of working material accumulates, worthy of being included in the debut album. In July 1997, the group began recording and, having collected technical equipment from the rehearsal base LAS VEGAS moves to the State House of Culture named after the "Red Guard", where from a studio still under construction he creates a really operating one in a fairly short period of time. Inspired by the first results, with even greater diligence, the musicians continue to work, and, it seemed, when there were only a couple of touches left before finishing work on the album, the vocalist D. Parshina a loved one dies. All recording work is suspended for an indefinite period. In addition, after listening to the recorded material, I. Faust decides that in pursuit of the final result, the main thing was lost - the very drive and swing that should have distinguished it favorably LAS VEGAS from other groups. And the almost completely recorded album was successfully thrown into the trash. All equipment is once again folded up and returned to its native rehearsal walls, where work begins from the very beginning.
In January 1998, the album, called "Imported From..." was recorded. 11 sound tracks of good heavy rock and roll received a positive rating among Moscow musicians: Dmitry Chetvergov, Sergey Efimov etc. Percussion "Sexual Might" and lyrical "Crying in the Silence" gave the album its signature recognition combined with 100% blues "You Know".
The group was included in the list of recognizable professional groups. Almost immediately the group was invited by the Tyumen Rock club "White Cat" to a concert where almost all regions of the country were represented. After a trip to Tyumen Igor Kutukov replaced by a young and ambitious Vitaly Dorofeychik, which does not in any way affect the overall sound of the group, but does affect the overall stage picture. Now another very “impulsive” point has been visually added, and if the audience was tired of following the frontman’s movements, they could enjoy the dynamic work V. Dorofeychik.
The team is participating in a concert in the city of Novosibirsk at the invitation of the radio station "Europe Plus". On June 29, 2000, the group was invited as a head-liner, accompanied by AGATHA CHRISTIE to celebrate the birthday of Tyumen. Omsk - performance at the birthday celebration of the local “Europe Plus” as guest stars (incl. Alexander Marshal).
In parallel with the concerts, material for the second album is being accumulated, but there is always no time to start recording. Accumulated fatigue, physical and moral, forces the musicians to part ways for a while and take up solo projects.

Today our guest is the producer of the group "Las Vegas", the charming Yana Stankevich! In our quick interview, we decided to ask Yana about the new composition of the group and the future plans of the team.
- How long ago did the band “Las Vegas” have a new line-up and why did the old band break up?
- The Las Vegas band has completely renewed its line-up. The five-year creative journey for the previous lineup of the Las Vegas group has ended. Natalya Lukyantseva got married and moved to St. Petersburg, where she continues to work at Lenfilm. Olga Shulyakovskaya recently gave birth to a beautiful girl Sophie...
- Was it easy to find new participants?
- Well, in general, finding new participants was not so easy. This is due to the fact that the huge number of television projects here, in Russia, in Ukraine, has somewhat diminished the girls’ ardor to strive to become a member of the group. I remember how at the casting for the second cast I thought that a collapse had happened - so many letters and calls fell upon me.
Now the situation is different. But of course there is a choice.
- What requirements do you put forward to the participants?
- The initial requirements are that in addition to a model appearance, the girl should be musical, flexible, and beautiful. I begin to examine the applicant who has passed the first stage almost under a magnifying glass. It is important for me that the girls not only get along with each other, but are also perceived by the people around them as graduates of the Institute of Noble Maidens. Sometimes you look at a contender and she’s good, but for me her sudden phrase with the unpleasant word “girl” is a good reason to say goodbye to her. And after long selections, Eliza Poleshchuk, Anita Goryacheva and Katya Yuldasheva were included in the group.
- What tasks do you, Yana, as the group’s producer, set for the team?
- It was decided that the new line-up will be launched with two new songs. The first one has already been launched, “Don’t Break It”. The second one is in development. But our existing repertoire is also being unlearned in full.
