Valery Lysenko, a Russian drummer and singer with Mister Twister, died October 27, 2026, aged 65.
The band, which is identified with Lysenko’s work as a performer, was formed in 1985 as a Russian rockabilly group. Its beginnings coincided with the period when rock’n’roll music became permitted in the Soviet Union.
Mister Twister’s music is associated with both rock and roll and rockabilly, styles that shaped the group’s musical identity. The band’s listed active years begin in 1985, the year it was formed. Lysenko’s roles as drummer and singer placed him in two central parts of the group’s musical work: its instrumental rhythm and its vocals. His career is thus linked to a band that began during a significant change in the Soviet musical landscape and continued within the Russian rockabilly tradition. The available biographical information identifies his occupation and association with Mister Twister, as well as the band’s origins and genres.
