Laika & the Cosmonauts were a Finnish rock band. They had the same lineup from the time they formed in 1987 until they stopped recording in 2008. The band was named after Laika, a Soviet space dog that died on board Sputnik 2 in 1957.Their sound was usually described as surf rock, but a Boston Globe review noted that the band's sound is "far beyond the limitations of any specific genre." The band relied heavily on the Finnish rautalanka electric guitar tradition. They toured the United States and Europe several times. Al Jourgensen of Ministry called them "the best f**king band in the world".In an email to the band's mailing list on 23 April 2008, Laika & the Cosmonauts announced they would be drawing their twenty-year career to a close with an American tour through the summer of 2008.

  • Laika & the Cosmonauts è stata una rock band finlandese, formata nel 1987 e attiva sino al 2008, mantenendo sempre intatta la sua formazione. Il loro genere è definito come surf rock, ma una recensione del Boston Globe ha definito in poche parole il loro suono "al di là di qualsiasi genere". Hanno suonato in tour sia per gli Stati Uniti d'America che in Europa diverse volte. Nonostante siano poco conosciuti negli Stati Uniti, la loro musica è apprezzata da un gran numero di musicisti, fra i quali Mike Campbell e Benmont Tench degli Heartbreakers, degli Agent Orange e la leggenda del surf rock, Dick Dale.
