05.07.08:  Mumiy Troll's performance at Playboy magazine party was interrupted.

An unexpected incident interrupted Mumiy Troll's performance on a party dedicated to the 10th anniversary of Playboy magazine, which took place in Moscow on the 3rd of July. After the song «Bandi» (Bands) (that became a soundtrack to a horror film «S.S.D.», coming soon), the next song, «Medveditsa» (She-Bear), was dedicated to Artemy Troitsky, the founding editor of Russian Playboy edition. The group stroke up its hit with a double enthusiasm and increased decibels. At this moment the club's security was already in the hall, negotiating with the concert organizers and trying to stop the concert, as they believed the volume was inappropriate for this time of the day, although it's was just a little past 11 p.m., and the party took place in a night club. After failing to get the result in negotiations with organizers, the security rushed to the desk of Mumiy Troll's audio producer and beat him, having apparently decided he was responsible for the continuing activity. Then they totally disconnected the electricity for the stage during another mass singing of Medveditsa's refrain, leaving the audience in perplexity.

The Mumiy Troll's audio producer was sent to a hospital. The musicians of Mumiy Troll, who still remember being put into black lists of rock-groups, took the situation with humour, but they are very much worried about their comrade. According to some information, Playboy's editor and a sponsors' representative were beaten as well.

The founding editor of Russian Playboy, Artemy Troitsky, named the club's security initiative to stop the part at its culminating moment as «interrupted coitus». Mumiy Troll expressed its attitude to the incident with a phrase that already became a wide-spread one: «What kind of Bermudas – so are the triangles».
