Formed in 1998 by frontman Jared Leto and his older brother, 30 Seconds to Mars found success in the 2000s with a mix of post-grunge, screamo, and hard rock. The band gained a modest audience with its debut album, but it was the platinum-selling sophomore effort A Beautiful Lie that officially opened the flood gates in 2005, securing the band a frequent presence on MTV while paving the way for a number of successful tours. By placing all-access passes into 12 copies of the album, the bandmates also showed a savvy appreciation for marketing, which they revisited several years later by putting fans' photographs on the cover of their third album, This Is War. Initially known for his work as an actor (most notably on the '90s TV drama My So-Called Life, as well as movies like Requiem for a Dream and Fight Club), Jared Leto decided to flex his musical muscles as he approached his 30s. He enlisted the help of his brother, drummer Shannon Leto, and co-founded 30 Seconds to Mars in 1998. The group made its studio debut four years later, releasing a self-titled album whose post-grunge sound showed an affinity for groups like Chevelle and Incubus. Although only modestly successful, the album convinced the bandmates to continue making music in spite of Jared Leto's busy acting schedule, which had filled up with roles in Panic Room, Highway, American Pyscho, and Requiem for a Dream. In 2013 the band returned with "Love Lust Faith + Dreams". This work offers an opportunity to explore the boundaries of rock while drawing inspiration from electronic music in a way that's not necessarily innovative but that feels fresh for these particular musicians. Following to their promise to visit with concerts not only Moscow and Saint Petersburg but also many others cities of Russia, 30 Seconds to Mars will come to us in March and April 2015 in band's new tour "Love + Lust" and perform in 13 Russian cities. The program of the concert will include some songs from "Love Lust Faith + Dreams" and of course such hits as Kings And Queens, This Is War, Search And Destroy, Closer To The Edge and others.
