Come to the Orgy of the Dead!! (Repost)

Far far away, one of my favorite bands in an oldie record featuring the theremin superstar Lydia Kavina; as you know, the music of Messer Chups combines surf, beats, film samples, scratchy historical recordings, loungey and cartoon sounds from the 50's and 60's. The trashy sci-fi horror sound of Messer Chups is not very common within the context of Russian rock music. The reason for this is the good old cold-war/iron curtain commie agenda.

The majority of Messer Chups' musical and visual aesthetics come from trashy western pop-culture of the past century. This includes horror/sci-fi b-movies from 1930's through 1970's, as well as music such as surf (The Ventures, Dick Dale, Trashmen), big-band lounge (Henry Mancini, Les Baxter, Martin Denny) and rock n' roll of the 60's.
