Viktor Tsoi, R.I.P.

Monday, June 21, 2010

Today is the birthday of Viktor Tsoi, who was born in Leningrad in 1962. Tsoi was the lead singer of Kino, one of my favorite Russian bands. He died in a car crash outside Riga on August 15, 1990. 

Here is a website dedicated to his memory, where you can also download some of his music.

Here is a video of one of Kino's most famous songs, Gruppa Krovi, and here is a clip of Kino performing live.
