Dead Rooster or Mertvy Piven (Ukrainian: Мертвий Півень) is a Ukrainian rock band that was formed by Lyubomyr Futorsky in 1989. The first concert was held in 1990 at the first Vyvykh festival. Their debut album Eto was recorded in 1991, at the end of the Chervona Ruta festival, where the group took first prize in the category of performers' art songs. Dead Rooster began as an acoustic band. During the second half of the 1990s, they evolved into a grunge/art-rock band, though their music cannot be described by one particular style. Dead Rooster has changed personnel several times. Many of the band's songs used lyrics from Ukrainian poets, including Yuri Andrukhovych, Maksym Rylsky, Oleksandr Irvanets, Viktor Neborak, Yurko Pozayak, Serhiy Zhadan, Natalka Bilotserkivets, Ihor Kalynets and Taras Shevchenko. The album Pisni Mertvoho Pivnya is based on Andrukhovych's poetry collection of the same name. In 2009, their song "Kiss" ("Potsilunok") was featured in the soundtrack of Cold Souls, an American film directed by Sophie Barthes. On May 22, 2023, at the concert "Bird. Serhiy Zhadan and Friends" the band appeared after a 12-year break with new vocalist Yurii Roketskyi.
