In april 1992 the band gained its shape and got a really descent studio to start real rehearsals; songwriting began; and line-up was stable for some time. The name «Melissa» was received later, in July 1992 on a local rock-festival. Band origin is a small town Obninsk, located 100km southwest from Moscow.
The original line-up consisted of 5 members. Due to differences in musical ideas, tastes and individual growth of each member the line-up has been changing throughout the first two years of band existence. Yet these days were very important to the musical growth of a band .
Since the very beginning only two original band members remained - Nick T. and Paul G. (both playing guitars). Paul and Nick’s long friendship led to the band establishment itself and also contributed in writing all the stuff the band played.
Melissa has three albums. ‘In Mourning’ album recorded in 1995, ‘In Peace…?’ album recorded in 1999,’Living in a Daymare’ album released in 2004.
If you want to hear their unique sound, you can start with the song of ‘Down and Fall’ from them…
