German-born musician Igor Yuzov grew up during a time when rock music was illegal in the former Soviet Union, where he was raised. In 1995, after having left Russia for California, he reportedly had a dream in which Elvis told him to start playing rock 'n' roll, and immediately started a "Siberian surf rock band." Since then, the Red Elvises have been a "traveling rokenrol party that's constantly in motion and consistently evolving." He and his band will be joined by local rockabilly group the Pornadoes.
