Messer
Chups es una banda experimental originaria de San Petersburgo, Rusia. Su sonido
puede definirse como surf rock, aunque incorpora muchas clases de géneros. La banda fue fundada por Oleg Gitarkin, quien ya
había actuado con Oleg Kostrow bajo el nombre de Messer für Frau Müller. Messer
Chups a menudo se considera una banda "derivada" de Messer für Frau
Müller. La banda fue originalmente un dúo, con Gitarkin en el bajo y Annette
Schneider en los sintetizadores. Durante el 2000 y el 2002 Messer Chups
consistió en un dúo conformado por Gitarkin e Igor Vdovin en sintetizador.
En 2003,
el productor de Messer Chups y director de su casa discográfica Solnze Records,
Oleg Tarasov, invitó a la mundialmente famosa intérprete de theremín, Lydia
Kavina, a unirse a ellos. Juntos han lanzado varios álbumes y han regrabado sus
lanzamientos anteriores. En 2005, Messer Chups se convirtió en un dúo compuesto
por Gitarkin y Svetlana Nagaeva en el bajo. En 2007 se convirtieron en un trío,
con el baterista Denis "Kashey" Kuptzov de la famosa banda Leningrad.
En 2008 cambiaron su batería a Alexander Belkok, y Alexander Skvortzov se
convirtió en su vocalista.

Messer Chups is an experimental band from St. Petersburg, Russia. The
band was founded by Oleg Gitarkin who had previously performed with Oleg
Kostrow under the name of Messer für Frau Müller. Messer Chups is often
considered a "spin-off" band of Messer für Frau Müller. The band was
originally a duo of Gitarkin on bass guitar and Annette Schneider who played
the synths. During 2000–2002 Messer Chups consisted of Gitarkin and Igor Vdovin
on synth.
In 2003, the producer of Messer Chups and head of their home label
Solnze Records, Oleg Tarasov, invited the world famous theremin player Lydia
Kavina to join them. Together they have released several albums and reworked
their previous releases. In 2005, Messer Chups became a duo consisting of
Gitarkin and ZombieGirl on bass. In 2007, they became a trio, with drummer
Denis "Kashey" Kuptzov from the famous band Leningrad. In 2008, they
changed their drummer to Alexander Belkok, and Alexander Skvortzov became their
vocalist.
Messer Chups' music often features a foundation of surf drums on which
they build collages of samples from odd sources, like jazz, east European
animation soundtracks, and American B-pictures. On top of that they play guitar
solos and the theremin.
The group's album "The Incredible Crocotiger" was used as the
soundtrack for the dating sim Monster Prom.
