The Crickets are an American rock and roll band from Lubbock, Texas, formed by singer/songwriter Buddy Holly in the 1950s. Released in 1957, their first hit record, "That'll Be the Day", became a number-one hit single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on September 23. The sleeve of their first album, The "Chirping" Crickets, shows the band line-up at the time: Holly on vocals and lead guitar, Niki Sullivan on backing vocals and rhythm guitar, Jerry Allison on drums, and Joe Mauldin on upright double bass. The Crickets helped set the template for subsequent rock bands such as the Beatles, with their guitar-bass-drums line-up and the talent to write most of their own material. After Holly's death in 1959 the band continued to tour and record with different lead vocalists and other band members. They continued performing and releasing new material into the 21st century.
Formation
Holly had been making demo recordings with local musician friends since 1954. Sonny Curtis, Jerry Allison, and Larry Welborn participated in these sessions. In 1956 Holly's band (then known informally as Buddy and the Two Tones, meaning Buddy Holly with Sonny Curtis and Don Guess; posthumous releases refer to The Three Tunes) recorded an album's worth of rockabilly numbers in Nashville, Tennessee, for Decca; the records were no more than mildly successful, and the band did not hit financial success until 1957, when producer and recording engineer Norman Petty hosted Holly's sessions in Clovis, New Mexico.
Shturcite (Bulgarian: Щурците, [ʃturˈt͡si(ː)tɛ], English "The Crickets", sometimes romanized as Shturtsite) were a Bulgarian rock group. They were one of the most successful bands in Bulgaria during the 70's and 80's and still have many fans. The band broke up once in 1990, reformed in 1997, and disbanded again in 2013. The group has been characterized as "Bulgaria's answer to The Beatles".
History
The group was created in 1967 in Sofia by Kiril Marichkov, Petar Tsankov (both from Bandaratsite group), Petar Gyuzelev, and Veselin Kisyov (both from Slanchevi Bratya group). Their first performance was at a students party in VITIZ (The Bulgarian School for Performing Arts), and in 1967 they made their first records. At first Georgi Minchev took part in the group, too, and with him they made their first success: the song "Byala Tishina" ("Бяла тишина"; "White Silence") of the composer Boris Karadimchev, winning the national award of Zlatnia Orfei ("Златния Орфей", the Golden Orpheus).

Hit And Miss
by: TinsLaying all your soil into satellites,
Planted something new that you get used to be through
the night.
Taking one and buy the paper cup
You pour it out and hope it’s enough.
Laying all the pile paper girls
Laying all your soil into something that you know it’s
past.
Taking all that you have built aside
Face it out
You know we all know where to run to
With that ship on our shoulders
We all know where to run to when it’s no one else.
It’s a hit and a miss all up(x4)
Strake a boarder for the cover up,
Search for anyone that’s likely not to make a sound.
One night it’s gonna come to you
Flash it out
You know we all know where to run to
With that ship on our shoulders
We all know where to run to when there’s no one else
It’s a hit and a miss all up(x4)
Something told you,
I can see why now
They gonna get out with our own ways
You don’t listen
I told you there is no good reason for right decisions.
You don’t see it
I wouldn’t want to be around for a longer phase.
You can’t taste it
The mess is overcome over fine places.
You don’t listen
I said I only wanted you in the winter.
Something told you,
I can see why now
We’re gonna get out with our own ways.
It’s a hit and a miss all out(x4)
We all know where to run to
With that ship on our shoulders
We all know where to run to
When we’re hiding under covers
We all know where to run to
