By that time both had some music training and Seva played in a few local bands before. The band’s first rehearsal on 12 March 2006 became the date of the band’s birth, but it was only after Maxim Mestovsky (guitar) and Andrei Malashenko (drums) became part of the band, when Open Space was complete. Maxim joined the band after second rehearsal and Andrei came in September 2006, when Open Space decided to replace their previous drummer.
