Sofia, Bulgaria, 1989. Two 3-year-olds riding bicycles in their neighborhood accidentally bumped into each other. Both named Vasil, they became friends over time and discovered together bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Their shared passion for music and sound inspired them and soon Vasil Parvanovski started playing the guitar and Vasko Raykov – singing and playing the piano.
In ‘95, the 8-year-old Parvanovski’s classmate, Martin Stoyanov, joined them. Martin’s initial desire was to be the drummer of the band, but this idea quickly vanished as he received a bass guitar as a present from his neighbor. So Martin became and remained the bassist of the band to present day.
In ‘98, the parents of Vasil Parvanovski took him to a family friend’s visit, their friend happening to be one of the most famous blues performers in Bulgaria, Vasko ‘Krupkata’ (the ‘Patch’). 12-year-old Parvanovski heard hard drumming coming from the basement of the house they were visiting, and that turned out to be the young son of ‘Krupkata’, the then 8-year-old Boyan ‘Bonzy’ Georgiev. Parvanovski got immediately impressed by Bonzy and proposed him to jam with the band.
1 August ‘98 is the date of the first rehearsal for the four band members which remain unchanged as of today. Their first three albums appeared under their initial name, ‘Kaskadiori’ (‘Stuntmen’). Along with the club gigs, during the period 2001-2008 Kaskadiori were touring & session musicians of ‘The Patch’.
