The group has been working hard, touring the world and performing in more than 130 concerts in 9 months in 2008. After a short break, during which the group composed new material and concepts for the new Army 2010 tour, they are getting back on the road. With many performances lined up in the next few months, they are geared up for an amazing performance in LA! The new show features 12 songs from the Army 2009 album (including radio hits "Uzhniy Polus," "Prekrasnih Dney," and "Leti Moya Dusha"), classic and new original hits, as well as the soulful acoustic sound of Diana Arbenina. Viewers from all over the world will hear the musical genius that has made the group popular over the years. As the international Army 2010 tour kicks off in Russia in April, the group will take their show across the world and land in LA. Nochnyie Snaipery (Russian: Íî÷íûå Ñíàéïåðû, literally "Night Snipers") is a Russian rock group. It was founded in 1993 as an acoustic female duo of Diana Arbenina (Russian: Äèàíà Ñåðãååâíà Àðáåíèíà) and Svetlana Surganova (Russian: Ñâåòëàíà ßêîâëåâíà Ñóðãàíîâà).
The ladies played guitar and violin respectively, sharing the vocal and songwriting duties evenly, eventually adding amplification to the band. Since its inception the band has participated in a variety of Russian musical festivals — from the underground (such as Babye Leto and Moguchaya Kuchka) to the major events (Nashestvie, MAXIDROM, Krylya), as well as touring extensively domestically and abroad.
Night Snipers best known singles are Tridtsatpervaya Vesna ("31st Spring"), Rubezh ("Frontier"), Stolitsa ("Capital"), Asfalt ("Asphalt"), and Aktrisa ("Actress"). The majority of the songs in the band's repertoire is written by Arbenina and Surganova, but some use the poetry of such famous authors as Joseph Brodsky, Anna Akhmatova, and Federico Garcia Lorca. In 2002 Svetlana Surganova left the band to create her own group Surganova i Orkestr ("Surganova and Orchestra"), and Diana remained the headliner of Night Snipers. Diana Arbenina and Svetlana Surganova are Russian lesbian icons. Several songs, performed by them with Night Snipers or solo, hint of intimacy between women and are considered lesbian and feminist anthems of Russophone world.
