Messer Chups is the low-brow musical concoction of Russian-born artist and musician Oleg Gitarkin, employing audio collage methods to create thick layers of sampling from trash horror films, cartoons, and other diverse sources. The band are known as true friends of Finland: in addition to last year’s shows at Oranssifest and Jyrock, they have for example toured Finland with Aavikko and played at Psychorama Festival at Tavastia. Their latest full length, ”Heretic Channel” was released last year. Over the years, Messer Chups have released over ten albums.

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. | Drawing from trash movie soundtracks and surf music, Russian Messer Chups arrive in Helsinki on February 6th to play at Blues Trash Cabaret club taking place at Bar Loose.įounded in the end of 90’s, 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. 16:16 MESSER CHUPS (RUS) to Helsinki in February 2010!
