The Russian Vector

The (first) random posting ever!

Na-Na... the epitome of what boy bands really are. Twenty-somethings who dance and sing around a stage, usually with some suggestive clothing and deliver their singing and physical prowess to those who surround them on stage. Boy bands were really the thing in the late '90s, early 2000s and in Korea, still are (see K-POP). 

Regardless of what you think, they can sing (if it's live, I'm not sure) and sure dance. They may not be able to play a single instrument... but their performance says it all.

This band predates 'N SYNC about a year or so ('N SYNC, 1995), and in post-Soviet republics, it's like seeing an adult movie for the first time, but with clothes on; same amount of sweat, though.

Now with today's random-as-hell-filler post, is the Russian boy band Na-Na with their twist on the Russian folk song "By the Long Road," featured here about three months ago.

Pay attention to the guy sliding when the video starts and how he's grabbed by the audience.
