Rockin’ in the USSR with Mumiy Troll
Russian rock band Mumiy Troll is on the brink of their first national U.S. tour despite the fact that they have been rockin’ in the USSR for almost twenty years. Their lead singer, Ilya Lagutenko, is joining us in studio to talk about how he embarked on a rock and roll lifestyle despite growing up in a small port town that was more or less cut off from all of the East and the West due to Russian security concerns.
