I like the way they moved Billy's and Dusty's beards to the top of their heads -- same hair, just coming from a different place.

Are you sure they are Russian?. I always thought they were from Finland.

Found this link about them.

OMG! I had to shut that off! I couldn't take it. It sounded like a bad gypsy circus polka band trying to play a ZZTop tune.
That was friggin painful to watch and try to hear.
What was that Richard Pryor line?
"Shit, I must have died and gone to the wrong heaven."

I just assumed they were Russian because of the name and the dancing style.

How do you get Zappa out of that? Just curious.

Those guys are hugely popular in Europe. They have been around for over a decade. 92? 93?

I would be stoked if I could sell out places the size they play.

I've seen them before. They are great and have the Red Army choir to back them up.

I bet Top approves of this version of their song.

The Zappa reference to this being more humorous and campy.
Using accordians,those horn lines and a polka groove, in a ZZ Top tune.:rotflmao
Sounds like something Frank would do as a joke.

Ha! Loved it.
I am now a fan and will help spread the word on this crazy band to my American friends.
(Like they really need it, those crowds were huge)

If they ever have a US tour, I am SOOooo there!

I would pay $80-$100.00 for that show.
I saw an interview with them on good morning america a while back, I was instantly a fan.
