Messer Chups bring their one of a kind surf n’ roll sound to CCCP Bar to showcase their new album Surf Riders From The Swamp Lagoon.
The Chups are Oleg Gitaracula on guitar, horror laugh and video, Zombierella on bass, vocals and screams and Boris Israel on drums. If you have a penchant for sci-fi soundtracks, B-movies, horror films, theremins, surf and rockabilly then Messer chups are the band you’ve been waiting for all your life. This is the first show of their 25 date, November long tour with yet more shows to be added to the schedule…don’t miss out.
This one is called Miss Surf:
Messer Chups is the project of Russian composer Oleg Gitarkin, and while the band’s instrumental rock is hard to neatly categorize, it’s safe to say that it would be enjoyed by fans of rockabilly, horror punk, scratchy surf records, Italian slasher films,My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult,pulp fiction, lounge music, Ed Wood, the theremin, the Cramps, Russ Meyer movies.” Gitarkin incorporates all of these elements and more, layering samples from Russian B-movies over weird vintage keyboard chirps and groovy horn loops. Messer Chups have already released over a half dozen albums and a greatest hits collection, which is a little extreme unless you’re a diehard fan of this kind of stuff.
