Welcome to The Charades Site

THANK YOU RUSSIA!!!

First of all we would like to thank our great promoter Art and our great driver Nikolai -Thank You a lot!
But we also like to thank our great audience -that was maybe our biggest audience. At least it was a biggest stage we have ever played, that is sure!
And of course St. Petersburg was so great and beautiful in the Summer time and people were so friendly for us.
We had no expectations, but if the welcome also in the future will be that kind, we are so ready to come again to Russia.
That you again!!!

"The sound is fantastic and the band are on fire. Music may not be able to save us but it can still lift our spirits, and here the Charades do exatly that -in spades! It may be that the band´s true power is best experience in a live setting and this CD captures them in their full-blooded on stage glory... While the Charades are around we still have something to believe in." -Dave Burke, Pipeline magazine
