THEMA | € 10,- | 23:00

Dance@LVC

Zoals je gewend bent van het kerstswing decoteam wordt het LVC dit jaar ook tijdens Halloween omgetoverd in een andere wereld. Een spookhuis vol met zombies, nepbloed en scary cocktails. Dj's zorgen voor een eclectische mix die grenst aan het geluid van Lowlands' 24uurstent en de oude filmzaal op de eerste verdieping wordt in ere hersteld met allereerst de premiere van de enige echte Leidse zombiefilm MEATING PENNY, gevolgd door een horrorprogramma van het Leids Film Festival en meer verrassingen. Kom in stijl, kom verkleed! Dan kun je rekenen op een gratis welkomstdrankje.

The Messer Chups (RUS)
Op 6 november in Paradiso (Amsterdam Beat Club), maar nu al in LVC!

The trashy sci-fi horror sound of Messer Chups is not very common within the context of Russian rock music. The reason for this is the good old cold-war/iron curtain commie agenda. The majority of Messer Chups' musical and visual aesthetics come from trashy western pop-culture of the past century. This includes horror/sci-fi b-movies from 1930's through 1970's, as well as music such as surf (The Ventures, Dick Dale, Trashmen), big-band lounge (Henry Mancini, Les Baxter, Martin Denny) and rock n' roll of the 60's. Since the Ipecac release, Messer Chups has slowly developed a cult following around the world as one of the most unique and genre-defiant bands.

Gitarkin formed Messer Chups in 1998 during an extended stay in Hamburg. The original lineup was Gitarkin on bass and Annette Schneider, a German music promoter, on synths. Though amicable enough, this lineup did not work as Gitarkin and Schneider lived in different countries, leading to hellish logistics. In 1999, Gitarkin returned to St. Petersburg and found a keyboard player in Igor Vdovin, former vocalist for the band Leningrad. They toured as a duo in Russia and the United States in 2000-02. In 2003 a world-famous theremin player Lydia Kavina joined the band. She is the grandniece of Leon Theremin, the Russian inventor of the theremin, an instrument whose ghostly waw was a fixture in horror movies of the 1940s and '50s. Oleg and Lydia released together CD's – Black Black Magic , Vamp Babes Upgrade Version. Lydia participated on few tracks of most famous through licensed to Mike Patton's IPECAC Recordings album "Crazy Price". Zombie Girl came to the band in 2004.

The founder of the project Oleg Gitarkin, is one of the most talented modern Russian composers, who became famous with his another project MESSER FUR FRAU MULLER in Russia and abroad. He is also making music for movies, theater, and adverts.

MESSER CHUPS are Oleg Gitaracula on guitar, Zombierella on bass-guitar, and Ghost drummer on drums.
