    Which post-punk band is named after a Spanish Civil War anarchist leader?

    Question #91592. Asked by gentlegiant17. (Jan 26 08 10:50 AM)


    BRY2K

    		The Durutti Column

    The band's name is derived from a misspelling of the name Buenaventura Durruti, who led a column of anarchists during the Spanish Civil War (The Durruti Column). A 1967 Situationist International poster included the phrase "The Return of the Durutti Column", which eventually became the title of the group's first album.
