History

The roots of the band stretch back to 1994, during which the band was called Military Jane. In this incarnation, the band featured a raw, melodic grunge sound reminiscent of Alice In Chains, Ilja singing in English. The band released three albums, "Home" (1995) "Home Live '95", and "Blackest Paint Colored Brush" (1996) with limited success. The band's single "Wherry?" although popular, was met with controversy amid a ban of the music video from MTV. During the "Rock '96" festival in Saint Petersburg, the band performed a new song "Мама" (Mama) for the first time. The style of the song took on a contrasting pop direction, with Ilja finding an original singing voice. The next year, Military Jane's name was changed to Pilot.
