Their name derives from a play on words that mixes the macabre and the sensual, an accurate reflection of the band themselves, with messer meaning knife in German and chups from “chupar” or “to suck” in Spanish. They have been on the scene for about 20 years bringing their interpretation of surf rock combined with imagery of horror and sci-fi to fans all over the world. Messer Chups hails from Saint Petersburg, Russia, which has a reputation as the home of Russian rockabilly. Messer Chups will be making their first appearance in Houston this week at Continental Club and the audience is in for a rockin’, sexy and spooky treat.
If someone took a vintage tiki cocktail mixer and added shots of Bela Lugosi, Dick Dale, a gothic Barbie, and a splash of Adam West-era Batman and Robin, the result might be something like Russian surf rock band Messer Chups.
