In 1965- inspired by The Beatles- Lithuanian musician Jurate Dineikaite 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 Jurate 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 Bees is adapted with vibrant colors and a charmingly handcrafted style by cartoonist Akvile Magicdusté. This edition also features a photo gallery with period snapshots of the band in action- plus a playlist of their original songs!
