BAND- Mr Russia

SHOW- Double Door, Chicago

LINEUP- Ivan Russia, Rob Russia, Dave Russia

Mr Russia playing hard in a harsh lighting club, what’s not to love about that. The boys and me have worked together various times and with each new show there is a level of change and trying things in a new light and a new sound. Lens Records bio says it best-

MR RUSSIA is a combo of relentless rhythm, solid bass lines and cocky vocals one could describe as the bastard offspring of Iggy Pop and The White Stripes. With a brash, tactless sound all their own, the Chicago fourpiece welcomes easy comparisons to Shellac and Death from Above 1979, as well as drawing influences from hard-to-pinpoint sources such as XTC and Magazine
