"Flaky disco-punk from the middle of nowhere"
About CHEESE PEOPLE
Cheese People is a four-piece band from a town called Samara, which is situated on Volga river. Their music can be described as a strong mix of disco, punk, funk and trip-hop - their sound has no analogues on Russian scene, and it strickingly differs from all European bands.
Cheese People started their career in 2000 as a instrumental hip-hop-duo of friends Anton and Shipovnik. But then guys decided to add vocals for their tracks and found pretty girl Olga, who can sing like a cat and write silly English lyrics. After that, their music started to change. Shipovnik left the band, and now Cheese People perform in clubs in Samara as a powerful quartet. Current band members are: Olya Chubarova (vocal), Anton Zalygin (programming, vocal, guitar), Michael Shkolniy (bass), Michael Zencov (drums).
In September 2006 the band released their first full-length record named «Psycho Squirrel». Now all the copies of this CD are sold out, despite the fact that Cheese People had never played live shows outside their native city. This spring Moscow-based indie-label Figurestatic will release the Cheese People CD. Hope you’ll enjoy our music.
