Red Elvises aren't just about rock 'n' roll. The group's eclectic mix of sounds and influences ranges from rockabilly and the blues to traditional Russian wedding music, klezmer, polka, and swing. Led by Ukrainian native Igor Yuzov, the band has been featured in films such as Six String Samurai (1998) and is touring behind its latest release, Drinking With Jesus (Shoobah-Doobah, 2008), a collection of infectious tunes with titles like "Twist Like Uma Thurman," "Better Than Cocaine," and the title track, which details some late night antics with the revered religious figure doing shots of Jose Cuervo.
