It was three of them: Ruslan Prystupnic Prystupa (lead vocals), Rostyslav Roslyk Fook (guitar, backing vocals), Serhiy Masyanya Masyk (bass guitar, backing vocals). They were working at the same office in Ternopil. Each of them had some experience in making music in different bands. Once they decided to play for fun and make a great song Pomidory (Tomatoes). After that boys realized, that the new band was started. It was hard to play rock music without drums, so a new member of group appeared Oleksandr Guns Davosyr. They recorded their first single Pomidory. After that boys invited one more member Vitaliy Luka Shostak for rhythm guitar. The new band was asked to play at the concerts of local rock club. When they came up on the stage, they called themselves Los Colorados. It happened on 24th April in 2006, so this day considered as the birthday of the band. Soon Los Colorados became popular among the youth of Ternopil district. The boys were invited to other towns to play in local clubs, open air concerts, music festivals. The most popular songs were Chorna lubov (Black Love), Tyotya Lyuba (Aunt Lyuba), Nenavyzhu pianino (Hate the piano), Rillya v ilyuminatori (Tillage in the window) etc. Their style was called agri-alco-rock because of their lyrics (its about agricultural work, peasants life) and live show (every show boys drink some alcohol on the stage). Every song has some extract from the popular foreign song, its some kind of game with audience. In 2008 Los Colorados took part in annual music festival Nivroku, where they played with famous from You Tube Ukrainian Petro Shchur. That was the last show in such a staff. After that Guns and Luka left the band.
Later, in 2008 Oleksandr Lesyk Drachuk (drums, backing vocals) joined the group. Once, musicians gave an interview on a local Ternopil channel SmileTV and tried to surprise their fans. They played acoustic staff and made some covers for the popular songs (Katy Perry Hotncold, Peter Nalich Guitar etc.) Nobody expect that, after posting this video on You Tube boys became very popular all around the world. Acoustic staff gave the new possibilities for this band. Now Los Colorados have lots of concerts, mostly in Lviv. At the moment they are working on their first album.

Los Colorados Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Hey, what up?)
Grab my glasses on, Im out the door to hit this city
(Lets go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
Cause when I leave for the night, I aint coming back
Im talking - pedicure on our (toes, toes)
Trying on all our (clothes, clothes)
Drop-toping, playing our favorite CD's
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little tipsy
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop and now
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop and now
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
Now, the dudes are lining up 'cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
Im talking about - everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys trying to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Now, now - we goin til they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us -
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop and now
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop and now
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
You build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
You got me now
You got that song
Yeah, you got me
You build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop and now
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok, on the clock
But the party don't stop and now
Woah-oh oh oh

The song is a party anthem about going out and having a good time with friends. The opening line, "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy," suggests that the singer is ready for a wild night out. The line, "Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack," is a play on words, as Jack Daniels is a brand of whiskey, not toothpaste. The singer is saying that they are so ready to go out that they are using whiskey as mouthwash.
The chorus, "Don't stop, make it pop, DJ, blow my speakers up," is a request for the DJ to play music that gets everyone dancing and keeps the party going. The line, "Ain't got a care in the world, but got plenty of beer," highlights the carefree attitude of the party-goers.
The song's lyrics celebrate living in the moment and having a good time with friends. It is a tribute to the party lifestyle and is meant to be enjoyed as a fun and catchy tune.

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
Starting the day with energy and swagger
Grab my glasses on, Im out the door to hit this city
Ready to take on the day and party all night
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
Mixing alcohol with oral hygiene for a wild night
Cause when I leave for the night, I aint coming back
Fully determined to stay out and continue the fun
Im talking - pedicure on our (toes, toes)
We're pampering every inch of ourselves before the night out
Trying on all our (clothes, clothes)
Experimenting with different outfits to perfect our look
Boys blowing up our (phones, phones)
Getting attention from admirers and enjoying the pride
Drop-toping, playing our favorite CD's
Cruising around with friends, jamming to good music
Pulling up to the parties
Making grand entrances and being the life of every party
Trying to get a little tipsy
Looking to have some wild, crazy fun
Don't stop, make it pop
Keep the party going and the music blasting
DJ, blow my speakers up
Requesting the DJ to turn up the music louder
Tonight, I'm fight
Ready to enjoy the night like it's a battle
Till we see the sunlight
Planning to stay up all night and party until dawn
Tik tok, on the clock
Acknowledging the passage of time, but not letting it slow down the party
But the party don't stop and now
Determined to keep the party going all night
Woah-oh oh oh
Simple chant to keep the energy high
Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Living carefree and enjoying every moment with friends and drinks
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
Not letting financial constraints get in the way of having fun
Now, the dudes are lining up 'cause they hear we got swagger
Attracting attention from the opposite gender with our confident attitude
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
Rejecting unworthy admirers unless they have charisma and style
Im talking about - everybody getting crunk, crunk
Everyone getting wild and crazy, fully immersed in the party atmosphere
Boys trying to touch my junk, junk
Fending off unsolicited advances and unwanted advances
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Maintaining personal boundaries and not tolerating misbehavior
Now, now - we goin til they kick us out, out
Fully committed to partying until the night ends
Or the police shut us down, down
Acknowledging the risk and possibility of getting into trouble with authority
Po-po shut us -
Cutting off mid-sentence to inject humor and carelessness
You build me up
Addressing a former lover and the rollercoaster of emotions they create
You break me down
Disgust towards the lover for causing emotional pain and instability
My heart, it pounds
Feeling the emotional and physical sensations of heartbreak and anger
Yeah, you got me
Acknowledging the power the lover has over them
With my hands up
Feeling powerless and helpless in the situation
Put your hands up
Commanding the listener to join in on the party and forget their problems

I love that you guys don't use autotune.
No Worries
I'm so sad I discovered this band so late,I simply love it.Some may consider it idiotic but the fact that it gives me a smile everytime I hear you guys makes your music waaaaay better then those things we hear on the radio.Music is made to be art,and art is not if it doesn't make you feel something.These days everyone wants to be on the trends to be famous,the originality is not gone yet.Simply love it.I love your songs and I hope you will continue to upload music,even tho you may not be famous,it will be so sad to know you guys are gone :(
