I just found out she is no longer in the band. Information was found on Oleg's YouTube video in the comments section. I wish them the best, I love their music immensely. —_ Hi, I'm Gellert, guitarist for The Fintastics. https://www.facebook.com/TheFintastics Last edited: Jan 15, 2018 12:06:31 |

It's strange to think of them without her. She'll be missed. Her replacement along with the addition of a rhythm guitarist (yes, there is one in there), give the band a bit of a makeover visually and musically. Four pieces feels like more of a band. Oleg is great, but it always sounded a little sparse to me. |

I'm not 100% sure but I think Oleg sometimes uses different players when in Russia so It might be false news. |

If this is true, It will be interesting to see how this new version evolves sound-wise. I do enjoy the 3 piece for the sparseness. Rev —Canadian Surf http://www.urbansurfkings.com/ Last edited: Jan 15, 2018 14:39:51 |

I wouldn't get carried away, it looks like here Oleg is just performing with another band called the Black Lagoons, it's not really Messer Chups. But you never know... —Paul |

Saw them in October and was blown away by Oleg's attack. Subtle drip ticks then splash heavy attack. Amazing! —The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

Svetlana Zombirella went into electronic music ? Well it also might just be a joke |

ahh ok - seems you're right... What a bummer ! But I hope it'll be also exciting to see changes. Good luck Svetlana with new project and Oleg with new line up ! |

Wow, that’s a big change to the best band in surf music (in my opinion of course). |

I really like that Bleak Engineers song. Million times better than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSwYu3reUVU |

Good for her. She's been doing surf music for a long time. It's a good thing to change things up. —"as he stepped into the stealthy night air... little did he know the fire escape was not there" https://www.facebook.com/reluctantaquanauts/ |

Yeah, that bleak engineers stuff totally appeals to my inner 80’s kid. Which is not inner at all. |

I think there's a new bassist in place now, if a Facebook post from Oleg is to be believed - Polina Aigre. |
