Ex members are Titus Vadon (drums, vocals / ex-member from drahdiwaberl & das balaton combo), Zebo Adam (guitar, vocals / ex-member from hallucination company), Antonia-Alexa Georgiew (violin, vocals), Werner Köck (guitar), Manfred Franzmeier (saxophone / member from hot pants road club, ex-member from madrid de los austrias) and Christoph Schödl (drums).
Their music is a rousing mixture of russian folkmusic and ska / ska-punk.
"Russkaja is the exact opposite of Easy Listening music, Russkaja - terror of terrors of all Russian folk music societies - stands for fat Austrian Polka beats. The group members are the most illustrious musicians of the Alpine region, who possess a colourful mix of cultural backgrounds. They pour these various cultural influences into a postmodern version of Russian folk and spread their distinctive music all over Europe. It is sweaty and shouts out loud: Dance Dance Dance! It is a clash of trash metal, world jazz, funky stuff and Frank Zappa-esque Rock. All these things signify: Get down to business!"
There is a word play in the name of the band: RUSSKAJA means 'russian' on russian language, but it also stands for: 'Rus' = Russia - 'Ska' = style of music - 'Ja' = German for: Yes.

Get Lucky
Russkaja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning
The force from the beginning
We've come too far, to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
She's up all night to the sun,
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to the sun,
we're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
we're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
The present has no ribbon
Your gift keeps on giving
What is this I'm feeling?
If you want to leave, I'm with it
We've come too far, to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
She's up all night to the sun,
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to the sun,
we're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
we're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
We've come too far, to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
She's up all night to the sun,
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to the sun,
we're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
we're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
we're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
The lyrics to "Get Lucky" by Russkaja are an upbeat and optimistic commentary on the human drive for success and satisfaction. The opening lines, "Like the legend of the phoenix, all ends with beginnings" suggest that no matter how difficult or challenging a situation may seem, there is always the potential for renewal and transformation. The reference to the planet spinning and the force from the beginning underscores the interconnectedness of all things and the way that even the smallest actions can have far-reaching consequences.
The chorus, "We've come too far to give up who we are, so let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars" highlights the importance of perseverance and self-belief in the face of obstacles. The repeated phrase "up all night to get lucky" suggests that success is not simply the result of luck, but of hard work, determination, and passion. The line, "we're up all night to the sun" speaks to the idea of pursuing one's dreams relentlessly and without compromise.
The song's bridge, "The present has no ribbon, your gift keeps on giving, what is this I'm feeling, if you want to leave, I'm with it" echoes the themes of transformation and renewal introduced in the beginning. The idea that "your gift keeps on giving" suggests that no matter what challenges or setbacks one may face, there is always the potential for growth and learning.
Overall, "Get Lucky" is a celebratory and empowering anthem that encourages listeners to pursue their goals with passion, resilience, and a sense of wonder.
