November 12, 2005 - Netslov was the band of the week on TV-show "Trials" (aired on Moscow state channel aka "TVC"). The show featured live performance of 4 songs, plus a long interview of the band.

November 5, 2005 - In recent interview by "Izvestia" newspaper hip and critically acclaimed writer Victor Pelevin mentions Netslov. Here is the part:
"Q (Izvestia): Judging by the name of the (recently released stories) compilation and "Omon Ra" novel you are fond of Pink Floyd's music. Would you speak any further about your musical preferences?
A (Viktor Pelevin): Silence is what I like the most. It has all kinds of sounds. So I have no preferences, though I often have some song playing in my mind. Right now it's "33 & 1/3" by Netslov. (Quotes the lyric). Amazing song that is! (Uses online chat slang for "Dude, write some more!")"

September 10, 2005 - Neslov performed at the The Russian Weekend held as part of The Russian Culture Season in Hungary. The band played at the best Budapest club (well, that's how we'd like to think of it :), staged inside old soviet cargo ship "Artemovsk-38" (hence the name of the club - "A-38") that is docked on Dunai in the heart of the city.
"The Weekend" lasted two days. The first day featured performances of acclaimed Hungarian band "Masfel", Moscow's "Picasso Kids" and Yuri Gurdji with his "Russian Disco" project. On the second day there were "Volkov Trio", "Noise Orchestra" and "Netslov". Second day's program started with Russia's famous modern writer Vladimir Sorokin's meeting with his Hungarian readers. Then "Volkov Trio" played.
Quoting Dan: "We were coming on stage next, people listening the concert were seated, ready to comprehend some serious music. So we were an absolute 'clowns from a different kind of circus' right there, with our crazy Kossak dance show. I was trying to joke with my awful English (quite frightened myself with that) and not a single person was laughing. They were clapping their hands off in the end, though. Even called us out for an encore"
Netslov performance was an obvious hit. People were better reacting to the songs with lyrics, rather than instrumental tracks. This was surprising, since there were few Russians in the audience.
"We had some time to cruise around the city" -- Dan adds -- "I was surprised how still obvious Soviet influence was... And of course we drank liquor -- "palinka", local pear grappa. That's exactly what we were drinking while hanging out with Svjatoslav Kurashov". Out of all places in Moscow two Muscovites had to meet in Budapest -- Svjatoslav being one of the most sought-after movie score makers, like Dan. The two never met before. Svjatoslav was in Budapest as "Volkov Trio"'s guitarist. "We were following each other's work for a long time now, just didn't have a chance to meet. (We) Talked about all sorts of stumbling blocks on a way to putting a score into a movie, among many other things. Had quite a lot of common topics to talk about, which was great" -- Dan. Here are some of the pictures made by Alexei Kozhanov (bass) on Netslov's trip to Hungary.
