Product Information
America's only musician in the secret world of Soviet punk and rock n' roll, Joanna Stingray's memoir features interviews, photographs, and testimony from a vanished cultural landscape. Boris Grebenshchikov (Aquarium) and Viktor Tsoi (Kino) figure strongly in a quick-paced adventure story about the making of the album Red Wave , music smuggled out and produced by Stingray, later supported by Gorbachev.

Joanna was like a tornado. Just imagine someone could drag Tsoi, Kuryokhin, and Grebenshchikov into her vortex and as a tractor pull the Russian underground to the West. A breath of fresh air and bright hopes -- it's all Joanna! --Yuri Kasparyan (Kino), 2019, The book you're holding in your hands could be called "Joanna's Adventures in the Bolshevik Land". It might seem that a young American girl went to the snow-covered USSR in search of impressions and discoveries. In fact, Joanna Stingray went to Leningrad in search of herself. And there she found not just herself but a few other very important people in her life. She became their prophet in the West. But Soviet people traditionally trusted prophets only from outside of their homeland. The Red Wave stirred by Joanna came back and brought well-deserved attention to its heroes. These memoirs strike you with their openness, lively straightforwardness and, most importantly, their honesty. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how it really was. --Konstantine Ernst, CEO Channel One Russia, 2019, The music on Red Wave - which ranges from the ska-tinged pop of Kino to the brooding, introspective songwriting of Grebenschikov - was recorded mostly in cramped living rooms transformed into home studios with borrowed two-track and eight-track equipment. The lyrics, sung in Russian (a translated lyric sheet is provided), are not overtly political. But veiled reference to politics shine through, as does a keen awareness of progressive Western rock. --Rolling Stone, The music on Red Wave - which ranges from the ska-tinged pop of Kino to the brooding, introspective songwriting of Grebenshchikov - was recorded mostly in cramped living rooms transformed into home studios with borrowed two-track and eight-track equipment. The lyrics, sung in Russian (a translated lyric sheet is provided), are not overtly political. But veiled reference to politics shine through, as does a keen awareness of progressive Western rock. --Rolling Stone, Some rare footage, however, was gathered by Joanna Stingray, an American musician and producer who traveled to the Soviet Union in 1984 and ensconced herself in the world of Leningrad's most popular rock musicians. Stingray would go on to befriend artists at the vanguard of the Leningrad scene, including Boris Grebenshchikov, the front man for the band Akvarium, and Victor Tsoi, the late Soviet rock icon accused recently by Russian State Duma member Yevgeny Fyodorov of collaborating with the CIA. --The Atlantic, Joanna flew the Los Angeles-Leningrad route nine times in two years. Armed with the support of David Bowie, who had become interested Aquarium's work, Stingray signed a contract with the American recording company Big Time Records. She smuggled out contraband audio recordings of Leningrad rock groups in the guise of new cassettes, releasing them in America as a split double album called Red Wave: 4 Underground Bands from the USSR. "It was very hard to produce that record," Stingray recalled later, "because Americans were afraid of Russia; they were afraid of the Soviet Union. And when I tried to get help from people, they reacted with an uncanny fear. So I had to do practically everything myself." For 1986, the appearance of 15,000 vinyl Red Wave albums was a cultural revolution. In reality, it turned out to be the first legitimate compilation of Russian rock that people in different countries could listen to. American record stores were filled with the sounds of Aquarium, Kino, Alisa and Strannye Igry, and Soviet cooperators began selling the collection in music kiosks. [...] It is hard to overestimate the benefit of Stingray's public awareness efforts for the international promotion of Soviet rock at the time. -- Russia Beyond , "Red Wave: How Soviet rock made it to the US", Joanna flew the Los Angeles-Leningrad route nine times in two years.

[...] It is hard to overestimate the benefit of Stingray's public awareness efforts for the international promotion of Soviet rock at the time. -- Russia Beyond , "Red Wave: How Soviet rock made it to the US", As one of the first American musicians to break through the Soviet scene, and one of the few women to be seen as an equal amongst Leningrad's pantheon of rock superstars, Stingray's perspective on the development of late Soviet rock is probably the single most important source for researchers who want a birds-eye view of late Soviet youth culture, and Stingray's stories are as entertaining as they are relevant and illuminating. -- Alexander Herbert, author of What About Tomorrow?: An Oral History of Russian Punk from the Soviet Era to Pussy Riot, Thanks to a resourceful Los Angeles Singer and songwriter who heard-and liked-their brand of Russian rock, the bands are now playing to a faraway audience. [...] The album is the brainchild of Joanna Stingray a.k.a. Joanna Fields, 25, who has been exploring the Soviet Union's unofficial and unheralded rock world since 1984. -- Newsweek, The history of Russian rock music could have been very different without Joanna Stingray. As a 23-year-old California clubber, she spent a week in the Soviet Union in 1984 and fell in love with the Leningrad underground rock scene. Joanna was friends with rock musicians, recorded songs with them, shot their videos and brought them clothes and instruments from the West. Her video footage, capturing young icons of Russian rock like Viktor Tsoi, Sergei Kuryokhin, Timur Novikov and Boris Grebenshchikov, is rare evidence of the golden era of the Soviet underground. --The Moscow Times , "Joanna Stingray, a California Girl in the U.S.S.R.", In the 1980s, Joanna Stingray brought us music that we weren't supposed to hear - underground rock from behind the Iron Curtain. NBC Left Field takes a deep dive into Joanna's video diaries from Russia, as she pulled back the Iron Curtain with a little help from an album called Red Wave. --NBC News Left Field, "The American who smuggled Russian rock music out of the USSR":, Rock 'n' roll through the Iron Curtain Joanna Fields was born in California brought up to mistrust Communism, so as soon as she could, in 1984 she went to the Soviet Union. She met underground rock musicians like Boris Grebenshchikov and his band Akvarium, banned from releasing music or playing official concerts and thought someone should get their music out to the West. Joanna has now written an account of her tape smuggling years as she shuttled across the Iron Curtain and released a groundbreaking double LP called Red Wave, featuring four underground bands and music that many in the West simply thought didn't exist. Of course she needed a code name. She chose Stingray. --BBC Newsday, Eight trips later she had 'smuggled' enough tapes of Kino and other groups out of the Soviet Union to produce an album, Red Wave -a kind of Greatest Hits of Socialist Rock. At first the Soviet press denigrated Stingray's tales of the "brave little American miss helping the oppressed Soviet musicians" as a self-serving fantasy. Now, though, inspired by glasnost if not by greed, Soviet officialdom has cut a deal with her to produce 10 albums of "unofficial music" for consumption in the U.S. --People Magazine, Stephen Stills and I performed in Moscow in the late 1980s, and we did our best to encourage and help local Russian bands. It was there that I met musician and songwriter Joanna Stingray, who showed great passion about how music could 'change the world'. She instinctively understood the power that rock and roll music brings to people. The audience in Moscow craved the music and what it represented. -- Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills & Nash), 2020, Business and cultural pioneers don't set out to light the world on fire but end up doing so through ingenuity and determination. While we often think of globalization as factories and container ships, the exchange of goods and ideas between nations starts with one person finding something people in another nation would value. Joanna Stingray was that one person who brought Soviet rock music to America and did so in remarkable fashion. -- Forbes, The final part of the trilogy about the adventures of the American singer and producer Joanna Stingray in the USSR and post-Soviet Russia, ... contains photographs, documents and interviews that have long been gathering dust in the archives of Joanna Stingray, and now are presented to the general public [here and in a future English release, Red Wave ]. The book is a true chronicle of the Leningrad underground and Soviet life as such. There are so many illustrations that it seems as if the shutter of the camera clicked without stopping. At the same time, in the archive of Joanna Stingray there are also hundreds of hours of video. Their time will come. -- GQ Russia, Music for Isolation, Business and cultural pioneers don't set out to light the world on fire but end up doing so through ingenuity and determination. While we often think of globalization as factories and container ships, the exchange of goods and ideas between nations starts with one person finding something people in another nation would value. Joanna Stingray was that one person who brought Soviet rock music to America and did so in remarkable fashion. --Forbes Thanks to a resourceful Los Angeles singer and songwriter who heard--and liked--their brand of Russian rock, the bands are now playing to a faraway audience.

The lyrics, sung in Russian (a translated lyric sheet is provided), are not overtly political. But veiled reference to politics shine through, as does a keen awareness of progressive Western rock. --Rolling Stone, Red Wave is a warm and conversational autobiography detailing Stingray's many rock 'n' roll adventures in the Soviet Union and Russia in the years before, during, and after glasnost. At one point she gets followed and interrogated by the KGB; at another, her plans to wed a legendary Soviet rocker get derailed by Cold War dynamics. Co-written with Stingray's adult daughter, Madison, the book is a valuable document about a lost world, peopled with courageous artists risking their freedom for the ideas of expression, art, and rock 'n' roll. [...] An essential narrative of a fascinating and under-documented period in music and art. Stingray draws vivid, emotional, and chatty accounts of the extraordinary underground stars of the time--people like Boris Grebenshikov, Sergey Kuryokhin, Viktor Tsoi, Yuri Kasparyan, Aquarium, Kino, and the Pop Mechanics. [...] We root for her and her friends to overcome bureaucracy, oppression, isolation, deprivation, and the heavy footsteps of the KGB. [...] In a readable and personable way, Red Wave helps shine some light into this remarkable corner of rock history.-- Tim Sommer, Guernica, The history of Russian rock music could have been very different without Joanna Stingray. As a 24-year-old California clubber, she spent a week in the Soviet Union in 1984 and fell in love with the Leningrad underground rock scene. Joanna was friends with rock musicians, recorded songs with them, shot their videos and brought them clothes and instruments from the West. Her video footage, capturing young icons of Russian rock like Viktor Tsoi, Sergei Kuryokhin, Timur Novikov and Boris Grebenshchikov, is rare evidence of the golden era of the Soviet underground. --The Moscow Times , "Joanna Stingray, a California Girl in the U.S.S.R.", At home in California, Joanna Stingray is a real estate agent with two additional jobs. But in Russia, the 58-year-old American is a near-legend, feted by rock fans and musicians for her fearless championing of Soviet underground music during the Cold War. "You are the mother of Russian rock!" a fan shouted as Stingray promoted her new autobiography at a Moscow bookstore. ... The California musician aroused the suspicions of the KGB and the FBI as she bravely championed the Soviet underground in the 1980s. The Red Wave LP, released in America in 1986, introduced western audiences to Russian rock and helped end the Kremlin's censorship of homegrown groups. -- The Guardian , Joanna Stingray - the woman who smuggled punk rock out of the USSR, Rock in a Hard Place? It's hard to find a more drab and yet more romantic period in the history of the Soviet Union than in the 1980s. Life as people knew it was falling apart and yet there was also a growing hope that something new and exciting would rise in its place. That sense of cognitive and emotional dissonance was perfectly captured by the underground music of that time, produced by young non-conformist musicians in what was then the city of Leningrad. What was it like to live and make music in that period of hopeful despair? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Joanna Stingray, American musician and avid chronicler of the Leningrad rock scene. --RT, Thanks to a resourceful Los Angeles singer and songwriter who heard--and liked--their brand of Russian rock, the bands are now playing to a faraway audience. [...] The album is the brainchild of Joanna Stingray a.k.a. Joanna Fields, 25, who has been exploring the Soviet Union's unofficial and unheralded rock world since 1984. -- Newsweek, Rock 'n' roll through the Iron Curtain Joanna Fields was born in California brought up to mistrust Communism, so as soon as she could, in 1984 she went to the Soviet Union.

Of course she needed a code name. She chose Stingray. --BBC Newsday, That the lyrics are in Russian and the production quality is primitive detracts little from the music's power and appeal. For Joanna, rock 'n' roll is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries and borders between nations. --L.A. Reader
