Liamkins started as the act of Yury (stage name George) Lyamkin, a
Moscow based musician and songwriter. He originally formed a band
called The Plane in Moscow in 2002 afterwhich NME (New Musical
Express, Russian edition) released on its CD his song "One Diamond".
Yury then when on to perform in trend-setting Moscow clubs and
achieved more fame when Play magazine chose his song "No one can
play" for its CD in 2005.
Yury then changed the name of his band to Updiverss, and recorded
his first album 'I Am Happy With My Jacket' at the Woodhouse Studio
(Hagen, Westfalen) with the producers Siggi Bemm and Dan Diamond.
Updiverss' songs are played by European radio stations (Krass
Radio-Germany, Pulse Rated-UK, Radio Netherland, Belarus Radio
Stations). Their song "Treasure" peaked at number one in the top 50
of Midnight Special Blues Radio (Paris, 2009). The band took part in
many festivals, for example Linz fest (Austria, 2005) and the
biggest rock-fest in Russia 'Nashestviye' (2009).
In 2010 Yury formed his current band, Liamkins which regularly
performs in Moscow arenas and the internet radio Poptastic Radio.
In May 2012, Liamkins musicians teeamed up with Michael Ponkratyev
(drums) and the producers, Andrey Sinyaev and Timur Dolotkazin at
MMS Records to create their album "Reason Softly Speaks Or Just Make
It Louder".
"Yury (George) Lyamkin is an amazing artist and songwriter. His
addition to our roster is one that is irreplaceable. Yury's songs
are melodic and detailed. If Paul McCartney had somehow been born in
Russia instead of the UK...he would have ended up being Yury
Liamkin. Both his acoustic singer/songwriter songs and his rockers
heavily reflect influence by The Beatles, in particular, Paul
McCartney in both his Beatles and his Wings tenure and solo career
as well. He is nothing short of honest and brilliant as a songwriter
and a performer.
As a solo artist, his songs scream movie and television adaptation!
Melodic, reflective, emotional compositions that capture the
heartstrings of the listener. What a talent! I am sure you will
agree!"

LIAMKINS
"Next Time Tour" album was recorded in Moscow (LIAMKINS studio, Golyanovo)
in November 2019. His author's focus, as before, has been the Song form, as
a genre and direction. The album is lyrical and tuneful, it has no
aggressive tracks, unlike the previous "heavy" album "Orange Grunge". In the
album "Next Time Tour" in practice, every song is a focus track, a single in
essence. In music, this is a classic pop; ballads, rhythm and blues, with a
light fusion of folk, psychedelia and jazz touches. Most of the songs
(Hillman and others) were written at dicerent times in East Kazakhstan -
Ust-Kamenogorsk, Shemonaikha, "Blue Bay".
Music and words, instruments, vocals - Y. Lyamkin.
Percussion, percussion - M. Ponkratyev.
The track list includes ten songs, no feats, samples and profanity:
1 Dozen Nails In Every Wheel
2 While Feet Still Jumping
3 Bonds Of Love
4 That's My Woman
5 Anya
6 Swimming Pool
7 Hillman
8 Strange Time
