Dumb Punk Rock for Intellectuals

Gift reissue of the cult autobiography 'Dumb Punk Rock for Intellectuals' with new stories, interviews, posters, and archival photographs.
Punk rock and intellectuals - seemingly unrelated things, but the leader of 'Tarakany!' Dmitry SID Spirins masterfully proves the opposite. Behind the... ironic title of the book lies not just the story of one band, but a snapshot of the lives of nonconformists in the 90s throughout Russia - both funny and bitter. The author recalls everyone who was with them back then: from 'Korol i Shut' and 'Naiv' to Alexander Vasiliev from 'Splin' and Nikolai Baskov!
'Tarakany!' is the main band of my youth. In this book - a chronicle of how from lost and hungry boys from the west of Moscow, they turned into the authors of the great album 'Street of Freedom.' An album where the rule is formulated, which I have since aspired to: 'Live as you want, but let others live.'
