Join "soviet space dogs" Surfing USSR for an evening of magical melodies, Surf Klezmer, Eastern European folk tunes and anything else they feel like dealing to ..this time with an exotica touch!

Dive into the wild, wave-riding world of Soviet Surfing — a genre where the shimmering exotica of tiki lounges crashes headfirst into cold, reverb-soaked musical shores. At the forefront of this genre-melding madness is legendary Christchurch Surfing USSR who took the vintage surf sound of the ‘60s and injected it with a playful, tongue-in-cheek Cold War aesthetic. Imagine twangy guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and a vibe that swings between a KGB beach party and a lost Martin Denny record spinning on a bootleg turntable in a Moscow basement. It’s espionage in a Hawaiian shirt, a Sputnik surf safari, and a tiki bar behind the Iron Curtain— all in one.
