messer chups

Deze Russische (!!) Surfband is ook al een tijdje niet weg te slaan uit onze bose boxen. Ze hebben een nieuw cd uit en doen een Europese tournee in November/December. Misschien doen ze ons land wel aan.

 

MESSER CHUPS are coming from St.Petersburg, Russia. In their music they combine surf, beats, film samples, scratchy historical recordings, loungey and cartoon sounds from the 50′s and 60′s. The show is combined with video from trash cult movies of the middle of the last century – Betty Page, Bela Lugosi , zombies, Russ Meyer’s and Ed Wood’s heroes are all mixed in videocollages of the master Gitarkin.

 

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 and the theme song from “The Addams Family.” 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.
