Jun 24 2010: Messer Chups to tour Finland
Drawing from trash movie soundtracks and surf music, Russian Messer Chups arrive in Finland for a short tour in July. The band will perform at Klubi, Tampere on July 21 and continue their tour at Bar Loose, Helsinki; Klubi, Turku and Naamat festival, Muurame the following nights. Founded in the end of 90s, Messer Chups consist of guitarist Oleg Gitarkin, pin-up model-like bassist Zombie Girl and drummer Dennis Kuptsov who is also known for bands Spitfire and Leningrad. The trio's music is a combination of bits and pieces of rockabilly, surf music, theremin solos and compositions that sound like soundtracks of trash movies.
Over the years, Messer Chups have released over ten albums. Their latest full length, "Heretic Channel" was released last year. The band were last seen in Finland while playing at sold-out Bar Loose in February.
The stage in Helsinki will be warmed up by domestic Gun Molls & Gangsters. The evening in Turku will be opened up by domestic Rocket Motors and burlesque group The Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret.
