Summer shows etc.

Being "active", forgot the whole bloggin' thing. Had super fun in the Baltics (see pic on the left)! Thanks for everyone, again. Had a nice show in Semifinal, Helsinki last weekend too. Our set is in good shape at the moment. It's been pleasure to play older songs in the set too (for example Spitsea, The Day She Came Back & Marry Me In Cuba) It is recommended to check us out before we run out of shows again, haha!

Still few festivals coming up this summer!
On saturday 28th (tomorrow it is) we will play in KARMAROCK, Harjavalta. Joose Keskitalo & Kolmas maailmanpalo, Maj Karma, Von Hertzen Brothers, Regina, Olavi Uusivirta etc playing there too. Our showtime is pretty early, 14.15. Hope to see you there!


KALLIO BLOCK PARTY coming up next week at Vaasankatu. Should be very cool. Lots of good bands there also: Tundramatiks, Ritual Smoker, Jontti & Shaka & Jodarok, Kanerva, Jaakko Eino Kalevi & Long-Sam, Black Lizard, Dxxxa D, Juha Pekka Tapani Heikkinen to name few. We will play at Vaasanaukio (piritori) somewhere around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. More info on our Facebook page hopefully soon.

Our festival season so far will end on 25th of August at KORKKIFEST.

We have all sorts of crazy plans for autumn. Let's see how they turn out. Hopefully we can announce more upcoming concerts soon also. Remember kids: we still wanna play in your livingroom.

 ----------------------------------------

Easter is here,praise the miracle.We shall go on a hunger strike with a newborn album in our sleeve.
Wanna buy one,stranger? Meet us down the alley.
Here and there,a glimpse of moonlight reveals our battle scars,our need to stay pure to our rhythm,to stay true to our melodies. Is it too popular-like ?
Who cares about the aggro-culture.We recorded this in a fucking submarine.
There's plenty of alpha-bands around,I guess we are the backward cousin,incessantly repeating Townes van Zandt tunes with a worn out electric guitar.Long,black,squished hair
bending under the laws and forces of nature.
 
We believe in true feelings,we count on everlasting friendships.
As a unit we stand against the temporary trends and we flag in honor of conceptual arts and crafts.

support us tonight at 6.linja ! We love you all. We love sunshine and fine dining.
2300 hours, sharp. Records for sale, questions to answer. Friends to hug and kiss.


xoxo,

Ladies ( love cool james, too. )
