Combining classic rock music with a slew of ethnic influences (and featuring lyrics sung dynasty in both English and Russian), the Red Elvises speedily began marketing extinct clubs throughout the L.A. area, and in mid-1996 issued their debut LP Rifling to the Moscow Beat; Surfriding in Siberia followed early the next class, and the 1998 release of I Wanna See You Belly Dance was accomapnied by a documentary around the stria produced for the cable network VH1. An appearance on the primetime soap Melrose Place preceded the 1999 freeing of the Red Elvises' one-fourth album, Russian Bellydance; Didder Your Pelvis and the live EP Your Favorite Band followed a year later on. Welcome to the Freak Show and Bedroom Boogie kicked things off for the stria at the initiate of the new millennium, both issued in early 2001. The band took time to enlistment and advance some good packaging until they came back to the studio to record Rokenrol, their 2002 freeing.
