Messer Chups is an experimental band from St.Petersburg, Russia and Clint Roth’s band BIG JAW

Messer Chups was founded by Oleg Gitarkin who had previously performed with Oleg Kostrow under the name of Messer für Frau Müller. Messer Chups is often considered a “spin-off” band of Messer für Frau Müller.

The band was originally a duo of Gitarkin on bass guitar and Annette Schneider who played the synths. In period 2000-2002 Messer Chups consisits of Gitarkin and Igir Vdovin on Synth.In 2003, the producer of Messer Chups and head of homelabel Solnze Records, Oleg Tarasov, invited the world famous theremin player, Lydia Kavina, to join them.

Together they have released several albums and reworked their previous releases. In 2005, Messer Chups became a duo consisting of Gitarkin and ZombieGirl on bass. In 2007, they became a trio, with drummer Denis “Kashey” Kuptzov from the famous band, Leningrad.

In 2008, they changed their drummer to Alexander Belkok, and Alexander Skvortzov became their vocalist.Messer Chups’ music often features a fundament of surf drums on which they build collages of samples from odd sources, like circus music, jazz, east European animation soundtracks, and American B-pictures.

On top of that they lay solos from guitar and theremin. The overall effect is one of loving parody and good fun.

Big Jaw describes themselves as “If Paul Simon Joined AC/DC but refused to help with lyrics = Big Jaw”
