The legendary Leningrad Cowboys, one of Finland's oddest but most successful exports, are a comic rock band of outlandish appearance, their dark sunglasses, pointedly quiffed hair and overlong winkle-pickers watching their wild brand of "Siberian" rock 'n' roll. Reminiscent of Rob Reiner's comic rock creation Spinal Tap, the band featured in several hilarious feature films, shorts and live concerts by acclaimed Finnish director, Aki Kaurismaki (The Man Without a Past), all featured in this stunning 2 DVD collection.
