The Russes are an Art Duo formed in 2008 in Chicago, IL USA. The group is comprised of Photographer, Multimedia Artist, and Music Producer Asia Rusztowicz and Emcee, Actor, Filmmaker, and Music Producer Rocky Russell Brown. The pair met in 2006 in Chicago's Pilsen Arts District and in 2008 they combined to form "The Russes" The name comes from the first three letters of both of their last names. In October of 2008, they opened up the GarageBand program without ever having used it and began making music at a rapid pace. The duo released the song "The Blocks of Krakow" on se7enthirty.com and received decent reviews. The song was inspired by the housing "blocks" found throughout Asia's homeland, Poland. On Valentine's Day of 2009 they released the instrumental EP "In Bed With The Russes" which was well received by the internet community. The pair are currently working on their full length debut entitled "Horizontal October"
