For these 8 years, they have been touring all across Russia, performing in every region, as well as in the neighboring Central Asian republics.Alex has a degree in Russian literature from UC Berkeley.For over a decade, concern about Climate Ruin (his coinage) led him to become the foreign correspondent on environment for the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD). He has reported from many United Nations climate conferences, and has presented his own climate restoration plan at both the Poland and Madrid conferences, as well as the 2020 BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) summit in Sochi, Russia.The plan calls for revitalizing Russian fisheries in the northwest Pacific, thus greatly increasing photosynthesis so as to repurpose significant amounts of CO2. As he discusses in the film, Alex believes the plan offers a great opportunity for Russians and Americans to forge friendships and work together.<h2>Rezurex</h2>—Formed in Southern California 2001, Rezurex mix equal parts ’50s rockabilly, punk rock and Catholic mysticism to create one of the most exciting and original bands on the scene!<h2>The Hellflowers</h2>—Formed in 2015 in Los Angeles by Christina and Matt Eskew, The Hellflowers mix the styles of Blondie, Pretenders with the Rock-n-Roll rawness of The Ramones and The Clash.They have released 2 EPs, a Full Length album and are releasing their second full length album in March of 2024.
