Red Elvises' See Listings for details of all Ireland dates April 6th - 12th Arriving from Siberia seemingly moments ago, the Red Elvises are taking North America and on to Europe by storm. Blending good old rock'n'roll with ethnic music from their homeland, these post fab-four developed the ideal music for beer guzzling and dancing 'til you drop. Strong musical influences include Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla, Chuck Berry, the Beatles, Spice Girls and speeches by Comrade Fidel Castro. Well, actually ... The Red Elvises were founded in 1995 by two Russian political refugees, singer/songwriter Igor Yuzov and actor/bass-balalaika player Oleg Bernov in Los Angeles, California. Igor and Oleg met during Russia’s Peace Walk and subsequently played together in a well known Russian folk-rock band called Limpopo. Believing that one can’t go wrong with "The King" Elvis Presley as an inspiration and with "red" being not only Oleg’s favourite colour but the national colour of their native country, the band name Red Elvises was created and it is widely believed that Igor came up with the "Red Elvises" name by seeing Elvis come to him in a dream, wearing a red dress! Igor will neither confirm nor deny the truth of that rumour. Playing countless shows every year, they became known as one of the hardest working bands in show business, as well as being one of the nicest and most accessible. At some point soon after the beginning of each show audiences are assured by the band, then and now, that “We are Red Elvises and we will be Your Favorite Band!”
The Red Elvises move from Mother Russia to Santa Monica California proved a right one for the band as they've added television and feature film work to the Red Elvises reportorial experience with appearances (musically and personally) in cinematography (Six-string Samurai, Mail Order Bride, Armageddon, Skippy) and in television (Melrose Place, Fastlane, Penn & Teller’s Sin City Extravaganza, VH-1 Behind the Music).
Constant production of high quality, crowd pleasing fun music
(11 CDs released and counting!) plus a reputation for high energy
performances, the RED ELVISES are
bringing their heart beating, foot-stomping, Russian Roots-American Rock &
Roll (or "Rockenrol" as the band calls it!) to Europe and beyond during
the early part of 2006. For all your booking enquiries please see
