1: 1961--1968
In 1961, The first Soviet rock ‘n’ roll band, The Revengers, began to play in the capital of Latvia, Riga. Modest instruments like homemade bass which used piano wires for its strings and electrical guitars from Czechoslovakia were used. Like all subsequent 1st generation Soviet rock bands, the songs they performed are mostly covers of rock ‘n’ roll standards. at college dances, The Revengers played music by Elvis Presley, Bill Haley and small Richard, and that they sang in bastardized English.
