Leningrad Cowboys Collection ( Leningrad Cowboys Go America / Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses / Total Balalaika Show )

The legendary Leningrad Cowboys, one of Finland's oddest but most successful exports, are a comic rock band of outlandish appearance with their dark sunglasses, pointedly quiffed hair and overlong winkle-pickers. They are the Siberian equivalent of America's equally hilarious creation, Spinal Tap. Featured in the Leningrad Cowboys Collection are: "Leningrad Cowboys Go America" (1989, 75 mins) - The international hit that sees the Cowboy's venture to the US after their promoter advises, "Go to America. They'll swallow any shit there." "Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses" (1994, 90 mins) - The band's manager, known as Moses, takes the band on an odyssey back to their home village in Siberia. "Total Balalaika Show" (1994, 54 mins) - A now legendary open-air concert performed in Helsinki by the Cowboys and the Red Army Chorus, who pick up their balalaikas to join the band on Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"!
