After playing together in Russian folk band Limpopo, singer/songwriter Igor Yuzov and bass balalaika playing Oleg Bernov first formed the Red Elvises in 1995. Though other members have changed over the years, the current lineup includes Adam Gust on drums, Elena Shemankova on keyboards, and guitarist/vocalist Beth Garner. Over the dozen years of playing Russian-indie-surf rock, they’ve released 10 albums, and have also been featured in the movie “Six String Samurai” and on an episode of TV’s old “Melrose Place.” Their sense of humor definitely goes hand in hand with their tunes, and they are eager to see their comrades at their “rokenrol” revolution!
