As Žilde herself writes, it is time to evaluate the contribution of rock music to Latvian culture in the 1990s. “As an eyewitness and participant in the music of this decade, I consider it my duty to share what I have experienced. There are not many musical associations that have started their activities in these turbulent times, survived several crises, adapted to the digital age, coexisted with the decline of rock music and continue to play active music, “writes the author of the book.
He believes that “The Adventures of a Dairy Carrier” is one of the most stable values in Latvian rock music. The book is not just a message about them, it is a story about the young people of the nineties: about breaking out, principles and attitudes, quality of life and music and – in the end – true friendship.
“Dairy Adventures” is one of the few classical rock bands in Latvia, which over time has been able to maintain a constant composition, recognizable sound and respectful attitude towards its listener. I have a lot of respect for these musicians – by succeeding and making music on larger and larger stages, they have always been able to maintain their independent status. This independence is first and foremost reflected in the lyrics and the unaccustomed performance, which has always been alive, loud and energetic. Like the people of Kurzeme, they are talkative because they have put everything to say in the songs. Their story is not much different from the stories of the world’s largest groups, just as it was experienced here in Latvia. I am proud that as a publisher I have had and still have the opportunity to work with these proud and talented musicians. I hope that the readers will be proud of them, knowing what they have to go through so that someone would like to write a book about you, “comments Guntars Račs, the head of the publishing house” Mikrofona ieraksti “.
