Ranetki Girls (Russian: Ранетки) was a Russian pop rock group from Moscow, Russia. Formed in 2005, the group has released four studio albums, before breaking up in 2013. The band reunited in 2017, and has released several singles since. The group were winners of the Five Stars and Eurosonic 2008 competition and won two Muz-TV Music Awards in 2009.

History

Early years (2005)

Ranetki formed in 2005, after songwriter Dmitry Popov and producer Sergey Milnichenko sought out castings for a new youth rock group.[1] The original line-up consisted of vocalist and guitarist Lena Galperina, bassist Alina Petrova, keyboardist Zhenya Ogurtsova and drummer Lera Kozlova, and were originally called "Clip SA", due to the group's tomboy appearance.[1] However, as the songs were written, the material began to become saturated with songs about first love, and they were renamed to the "Ranetki Girls" to the fit the style. They also added two members around this time, guitarist Natasha Milnichenko and Anya Rudneva.[1] The group met Sergei Krylov, who was also involved with the band's creation, taught Kozlova to play drums and they would practice songs by The Beatles and Nazareth.[1] By the end of 2005, Galperina left the group and joined Tuki-Tuki, and Lena Tretyakova replaced Petrova on bass. Kozlova also took over on lead vocals, while maintaining her position on drums.[1]

Ranetki (2006–2008)

The group signed with Megaliner Records in late 2005.[1] In May 2006, the group performed at the Eurovision competition.[2] They also performed at the Radio Day concert in Moscow that same month.[3] In September 2006, the group competed at the Five Stars festival in Sochi, performing the song, "Venus" by Shocking Blue.[4] Later that month, they opened for Russian punk rock band, Tarakany!.[5] In December 2006, their self-titled debut studio album was released.[6] It was presented live on December 5, at the B-2 Club.[7] The album was recorded at Milnichenko's home.[1] Two tracks from the album appeared on the Russian TV series, Kadetstvo.[1] The group participated in MTV Russia's musical battle programming on December 13.[8] In January 2007, they performed at the Russian Winter festival at Trafalgar Square in London.[9] In September 2007, Yes! magazine named the group as one of the "Face of the Year - 2007".[10] The band performed at the 2008 Eurosonic festival in January.[11] They were named recipients of the Five Stars and Eurosonic competitions.[12] In March 2008, CTC launched their TV series of the name, which ran until 2014.[13] The song, "About You" was featured on Grand Theft Auto IV.[14] In November 2008, Kozlova departed from the group, following a conflict with Melnichenko.[15] According to Kozlova, she was "asked" to leave the group on November 1, ten minutes before the start of their concert at Luzhniki and was replaced by Anna Baydavletova of Nine Lives. However, she maintained her placement on the show and had no resentment towards anyone in the band.[16] Following her exit from the band, she started her solo career and formed the group Miami.[17][18] In 2009, Ranetki won the Muz-TV Music Award for Best Album,[19] as well as the single "Angels" for Best Soundtrack.[20]

It's Our Time and I Will Never Forget (2009–2010)

On May 31, 2010, the group announced that they would be releasing their third studio album, I Will Never Forget in June.[27] The album was officially released on June 15.[28] In support of the album's release, the band released a music video for the song, "Taxes on Love".[29] In December 2010, they were named Best Band of the Year by the News Music readers poll,[30] as well as their album I Will Never Forget for Best Album.[31]
