CHAPAJEVS VAGONS

After the splitting up of DILŐNIS Muitnieks (the bass player) in autumn `94 decided to form a new band inviting his old friend Peks to take the singing part , Jānis Mūrnieks (guitar player of ANALIZATORS) to play drums and Kaspars Šulcs to play the bass. Quite soon Kaspars learned how to play the bass and Muitnieks got acquainted with the guitar, and with this line - up they played their first live show at VŐNS presentation. An extract from VŐNS „chronicles”: ” was really surprised by the performance of ČAPAJEVS VAGONS. I hadn`t got awaited that they would be that good. And I was sober! Č.V. - the best punk band of Latvia! peks vocal in song „Bēdz!” was like „SHITFIT”, you don`t believe? - Listen to the recording.”

In this line - up they played one more live show in Parnu (Estonia) together with Vonosonoloppus, Inokentijs Mārpls and Shitheads (Est.), but after their third live show at „NEXT”, in Riga, Jānis had to leave, and Klusais (Vonosonoloppus) was asked to play the drums. In this line - up 5 more gigs were played and on March 30 & 31 at PRIEDE REC. 13 songs were recorded and brought out on DLM Tapes and it was the first and the only one tape EP of ČAPAJEVS VAGONS, presenting it as midtempo punk/hc band. ČAPAJEVS VAGONS split up in year 1996, when Kaspars started his academic career in Riga and Klusais grew bored to play the drums.
