In the heart of the Californian music scene, with roots deeply connected to Russia, the rock band Chase the Comet embarked on a remarkable journey that took them across the United States. This odyssey, all aboard an RV, marked a significant chapter in their musical career, highlighting their resilience and passion for music.
RUSSIAN CALIFORNIA — Formed by vocalist Nika Comet and guitarist Alexander Mishustov, Chase the Comet set out to conquer the American music landscape after moving from Moscow to Los Angeles in 2016.
Leaving behind the success of their previous band back home—a band that graced stages with giants like Metallica, Linkin Park, and Muse—the duo was driven by a dream to deliver their music globally. Initially performing under the name MyRockBand, they played at iconic Los Angeles venues such as Whisky a Go-Go and Viper Room, gradually building their identity in the vibrant American rock scene.
In 2024, seeking inspiration and new experiences, the band set off on a cross-country tour in an RV, performing in numerous cities, including:
- Nashville, TN
- Greenville, SC
- Richmond, VA
- Leesburg, VA
- Mechanicsburg, PA
- Albany, NY
- Hartford, CT
- Grand Rapids, MI
- Flint, MI
- Buffalo, NY
- Cleveland, OH
- Louisville, KY
- Tulsa, OK
- Dallas, TX
- Houston, TX
- Austin, TX
- Denver, CO
- Colorado Springs, CO
- Tempe, AZ
- San Diego, CA
- Los Angeles, CA
- Anaheim, CA
Their journey through diverse landscapes and climates was not without challenges.
Mishustov shared on social media the physical toll the tour took on him, especially due to a leg injury that he sustained prior to the tour. Despite this, the duo delivered powerful performances, proving their dedication to their art and their fans.
During the tour, the band faced unforeseen challenges, such as concert cancellations and harsh weather conditions, which tested their resolve. Yet, they found moments of peace and introspection driving through America’s scenic routes.
Through these experiences, Nika and Alexander grew not just as musicians, but as individuals, pushing through the creative burnout that many artists encounter.
In interviews, Nika has openly discussed the struggles and triumphs they faced in pursuing their American dream, stepping back when necessary to recharge their passion for music.
This transparency gives their fan base a deeper connection to them, demonstrating their authenticity and resilience.
Chase the Comet’s journey didn’t end there; they are already planning new projects and performances. With approval to perform at major events like Burning Man and opening for the band CKY, the future looks promising for this hard-working duo.
Beyond music, Nika Comet has published a book detailing their adventures and experiences in California’s vibrant music scene.
This book is available on Amazon and offers fans another medium through which to connect with the band’s story.
