Band Photo History
Press / Reviews
“Here is one of many funny stories about balalaika (3 string triangle Russian folk instrument). I was playing the gig downtown Austin at Frank & Angie’s and the guy in the cowboy hat across the room was having dinner, listening to me, and paying attention to what I was doing. When he finished, he headed for the door then he stopped and said: So hey, why the three strings?”
“Before coming to Austin, I lived in Los Angeles most of the time. More precisely, we were based there, but most of the time I lived on the bus, since I traveled a lot with tours throughout America. I was in the Red Elvises group. Before I left the band in 2004, we recorded 11 albums and 4 movie soundtracks. And I founded the Flying Balalaika Brothers when I moved to Austin in 2008.”
