About the band:
Aquarium is arguably the most important band from the Russian Soviet scene, besides being one of the first DIY bands to record their own music in the Soviet Union, they also spawned countless canon records that broke the rules and progressed the scene further. Led by Boris Grebenchikov, Aquarium transformed their sound and image countless times, starting as a Folk Rock band who were basically a Bob Dylan covers band (their early tracks were filled with Dylan lyric translations and references), the band quickly progressed more and more through out the late 70's and 80's, the band's live shows progressed from comfy apartment concerts (Kvartirneki) to jam fests filled with dissonant sax solos and fuzzy guitar licks.
