The Red Elvises are a Russian-American band that performs rock and roll, surf, rockabilly, reggae, lounge and traditional Russian styles of music. Believing that one cannot go wrong with "The King" Elvis Presley as an inspiration and with "red" being not only their favorite color but the national color of their native country, the band name Red Elvises was created. The Red Elvises were founded in 1995 by Igor Yuzov and Oleg Bernov, two Russians living in Los Angeles, California.
