Why Not — a Belorussian rock-band.

The band was founded in Minsk in 1993 and existed until the end of 1995.

The line-up:
 * Andre Kravchenko - guitar, vocals
 * Roman Prokopenko - bass
 * Kirill Mussinski - drums

1995 Why Not has won a Belorussian Music Award 'Rock-crown' in nomination 'Best début '94'. The only Why Not's EP "Burning Tree" has been released in the same year.

Their music was an attempt of combining classical rock-traditions of the 60th and 70th with up to date arrangements. The two most successful songs of the band were 'In the garden' and 'Revolution' although all 6 songs released on the EP have been repeatedly played on the radio and TV and hit the national charts.

After the band broke up in 1995 all band members continued their careers in different projects. Andre Kravchenko founded his own project 'Fairground', Roman Prokopenko and Kirill Mussinski joined another popular Belorussian band 'Bourgeoisie'.

Why Not yet gathered together only once - in 2008, to give a small concert for friends in Minsk.

Currently all former members of Why Not are employed in various musical projects outside of Belarus and do not plan to re-join. Andrei Kravchenko and Roman Prokopenko moved to the U.S. (Roman Prokopenko joined the prog-rock band 'Persephone's Dream' in Pittsburgh), and Kirill Mussinski founded an independent project UP in Berlin.
