What is Draculina?
That's been what I and I suspect many others have been asking about this project for a while now. Which is a different question than "Who is Draculina?", though that's a relevant one too. Polina Draculina is a bit of a mysterious character, a bassist from St. Petersburg, Russia, at one point a member of Messer Chups, who has a seductive look in her videos though from seeing her around at Surfguitar101 Festival, seems a bit shy. I ask "what", however, because Draculina as a band is an enigma.
When I first discovered exotica while digging in thrift store bins as a teenager, it kind of blew my mind. I'd never heard of this music, but it was so weird and surprisingly plentiful. Ever since then I was wondering when I was going to see some sort of revival. And sure, there's been some here and there since then, and maybe I just didn't know where to look, but it recently dawned on me that we might be in the midst of one.
