The Leningrad Cowboys, A Finnish rock band singing in English accompanied by the Alexandrov Red army Ensemble!
The band was an invention of the Finnish film director Aki Kaurismäki together with Sakke Järvenpää and Mato Valtonen, members of the Finnish comedy rock band Sleepy Sleepers. The three of them conceived the band in a bar in 1986 as a joke on the waning power of the Soviet Union.
