Sounds Like
Electric Balalaika with distortion, wah-wah and the rest - a cross between Hendrix and George Formby after drinking a vatload of toadstool soup!
Will appeal to fans of
Gong, Hawkwind, Poisoned Electric Head, Ukulele Orchestra, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and anything waay off the beaten track...
Warning - May cause Hendrix fans (and Russian citizens) to explode with indignancy and anti-heretical fervour!
In a world of faceless, transient pop non-entities, Boris & His Bolshie Balalaika stands out as a truly larger than life character. Born the son of a Russian diplomat, Boris has lead an incredible life, involving both the KGB and CIA, MI5 and LSD... A psychedelic legend in the making, George Formby on Acid, no-one can deny that Boris' message of cosmic love and hope is both genuine and a much needed antidote to all that ails society today.
Boris has recently emerged from self-imposed retirement to tickle those balalaika strings once more, with a number of unannounced live appearances - frequently unplugged.
Find out more about Boris and his Bolshie Balalaika at www.bolshieboris.com - including the incredible tale of how he escaped the Gulag and came to reside as an asylum-usurper in the UK.
There are vicious rumours circulating as to Boris' true identity, some say he is a famous musician in disguise, others suggest he is a respected expert in his field, others still that he is a pro-foosball player. Believe nothing! Challenge everything! "Turn On, Tune In, Take Over!"

Recorded:
live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco
In
1967, San Francisco’s Fifty
Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that
took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one
record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one
hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic
freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video
game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight
label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork
Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and
experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were
sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a
swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon
developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the
occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to
perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the
crowds, performing with greats like Chuck
Berry and Fairport
Convention.
