Fanagraphics Underground Bees The Women Who Rocked Lithuania

Description:

In 1965, inspired by The Beatles, Lithuanian musician J?rat? Dineikait? founded a rock band called The Bees. This spirited ensemble of six women toured throughout the Soviet Union during the '60s and '70s - turning heads with their blue jeans, mop-tops, and modern rock sound. For these women, taking the stage was at once an electrifying expression of their artistry and an audacious political act. Based on interviews with J?rat? herself, this graphic novel vividly captures episodes of the group's lived experiences - from thrilling performances to chilling encounters with the KGB. An authentic portrayal of a fascinating true history little known outside of Lithuania, The Beesis adapted with vibrant colors and a charmingly handcrafted style by cartoonist Akvil? Magicdusté. This edition also features a photo gallery with period snapshots of the band in action, plus a playlist of their original songs!
