History

2006 - 2007 Career Beginnings and first album

Vintage was formed by ex-soloist of "High School" Anna Pletneva and former soloist of group "A-Mega" Alexei Romanov in mid 2006. Originally, they were going to name the band "Chelsea" but later changed it to "Vintage".[12]

2007: the first album

In late August, the group filmed the video for the song "Good-bye". On November 22 they released their first album, called "Криминальная любовь" ("Criminal Love").

2008

On April 19 the video for new song of "Bad Girl" was released, a duet with actor Elena Korikova. In October, there was a change in the group; Mia exits the band and Svetlana Ivanova replaced her.

2009

In February, the group went on tour, visiting cities such as Moscow, Ulyanovsk, Riga, Minsk, Samara and Kaliningrad. On March 15 they released a new video for the song "Eva". This song was dedicated to singer Eva Polna.[13]

On 31 August 2009, they released their fourth single from their forthcoming album "Lunatic Girls".

In October they released their second album "SEX". The record debuted at number 12 in the Russian album chart.[14]

2010–2011

While Vintage played live on Love Radio on April 16, they introduced a new single titled "(Russian: Микки" ("Mikki"), which is dedicated to Michael Jackson. The band shot two versions of the video clip for the song; a Russian version and English translation.

On September 11, Европа плюс (Europe Plus), Русское радио (Russkoe radio), Love-радио (Love-radio) and Свежее радио (Svezhee radio) released Vintage's latest song, "Роман" ("Roman").
