Returning to Chico, CA — get ready for a wild night as Messer Chups bring their spooky surf‑rock vibes live!

Messer Chups’ sound is famously hard to categorize, but it’s embraced by fans of rockabilly, horror punk, vintage surf records, Italian slasher films, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Pulp Fiction, lounge music, the theremin, The Cramps, and even The Munsters theme. Their catchy, cinematic style blends surf guitar, vintage Russian melodies, rare film samples from the ’50s and ’60s, scratchy historical recordings, and lounge loops.

Live, they explode with garage‑punk intensity, backed by a video‑collage of mid‑century trashy cult and horror clips featuring Russ Meyer, Ed Wood, Vampira, Bela Lugosi, and more in a full zombie mash‑up.

Messer Chups is:

• Oleg “Guitaracula” — guitar

• Svetlana “Zombierella” — bass & vocals

• Signor Mattia — drums

Through constant touring and steady releases, the band has built a massive, passionate global fanbase. In 2022, they signed with U.S.-based label Hi‑Tide Recordings, the global leader in Surf, Lounge & Exotic Sounds.
