Messer Chups Tickets

Messer Chups comes from St Petersburg, Russia, where I have visited several times. They play high energy rockabilly, mostly instrumental, which is refreshing for me. I recently commented that instrumental tunes had, at least occasionally, scored as pop hits, decades ago, a refreshing change from constant vocals. The only problem was the opening band, Black Flamingos, playing the very same music, entirely instrumental. Part way through Messer Chups' set, this all seemed too much. An opening band with somewhat different music, would have given some open space to better enjoy Messer Chups. After all is said, the evening was a good one.
