Tour diary 2011

25.4. Wow, 5 days went by like shinkansen train. Surprisingly there was no updates during trip… All I can say, and I believe I speak for all of us, we had fun, man. less than 100 ppl in both places was not much but we played well, behaved well (before gigs) and survived without major setbacks. our friends in Paimio, Annukka, Pekka, Nikkanen and Järvinen were amazing for us.

Henry s Pub is the perfect place to play, because of the equipments they have and off course Kimmo. Kimmo is part of the band because of the role he had on Panda eyes-cd and because he is such a nice friend. He is the god.

In the end of our tour we hugged and made a promise to play at least one weekend every spring. If someone dies, tradition still goes on. It is not like we had big plans to conquer the world, it is more like five buddies gather to have fun with the thing they love. Isn t it how it was suppose to be in music?

Also we ve had nice discussions on doing cd. It might be in Finnish, might be done more punk way and faster. who knows.

Let s see. All we can tell is that we still play well. Nice to see that Kat had some videos too. Thanks. Next time you come to chat with us.

20.4.  10.25 p.m.

Rehearsals started on time and we had plenty of “splendiid” time to put our crap together. We played somewhat 4-5 hours and it didnt sound good… what can you do if it ends up perfect !

:) .hymiö, lol.

Seriously it was good session so we packed our bus and head down to Paimio in the morning. I might even ask my funny friends to write some words in here too.

How it will go with us and old broken bus for 500 km?

No one knows…

…but doesn`t tell.

10:20 a.m.

I am waiting for fellowclosetrockers to arrive in Kuopio.  Vili s coming by train from Lahti, Opa from Jyväskylä and Anaali from Lahti. Guitars and bass has been in Tonto`s hands. Tonto is the major guitar hero from DLX- music shop. Without him our sound would be a lot muddier.

I am facing with some serious health issues at the moment, blood pressure is 158/80. I guess I have to leave rock n roll lifestyle for other members of the crappy band of ours. I ll try to make it back to Kuopio.

We ve hired (like we had money heheh) new roadie. Welcome to the jungle, Jupe.  You dont know where you re heading…

So we ll play today 4-5 hours, gather to my apartment with Vili and Anssi for dinner and tomorrow morning at 10.00 we re on bus going to Paimio.  Now I am off to DLX to get one more guitar; maybe I ll show some guitarstring breaking so we ll need one in reserve…

18.4. yesterday was a day yeah. we trained 5 hours and made some demo recordings for V and anssi. Some circumstances were not in order but I think we will kick off well. Rock n roll is fun and we re surely making all we can to sound better than we ever could. We have few nice cover tunes that we re excited to show off. Some doubts about words but öördisköördis saves us always.

Let s stay focused. Soon it is the time.

25.3. (Jake)Tour is not yet set completely. Only 2 gigs confirmed, but many on the works. Few days ago we sat down with Ville and made some plans. Rehearsals have started so you could say we re alive and kicking. Anssi is coming into town today, so we ll practise some new cover songs… Jussi is in Spain, but all the others are in Kuopio this weekend so I try to get these people to shoot few pics for poster. Probably it wont happen but you can always try.

Easter is going to be fun, and that is all that matters.
