Shows in Finland

We've been spending quiet life during this winter but now we're getting ready to play few shows when the summer is coming! There are still empty dates to fill in our calendar but we try to fill them all. There's a couple interesting shows in the list. At Nosturi, Helsinki we're gonna share the stage with a finnish rapper Petri Nygård and with an old school hillbilly punk rock band Klamydia. The second show that we're looking forward is at the Tattoo Båten festival wich is being held on a ferry between Turku and Stockholm. One huge boat filled with tattoos and punk rock! That's gonna be hell of a trip! Here's all confirmed shows in Finland:

The show @ Jack the Rooster, Tampere

We found videos of all our songs from the show at Tampere. Enjoy!

Lost in Music

There's a city festival called Lost in Music in Tampere, Finland every year and the main thing of that festival is to give an opportunity to "smaller" bands to be found. We had a show there on thursday and we were supposed to play with Young Guns (UK) there but they cancelled their European tour. Luckily they got our friends Tax to replace the brits.

The venue, Jack the Rooster, was a very nice place. It's a restaurant with a small stage in the backside of the room. They gave us delicious free meals and lots of beer, thanks!

The stage

Before our show me and Alex went to do a 1,5h radio show with our friend Janne who was the driver on our 2009 European tour with One Hidden Frame. The idea of the show was to play some of our favorite songs and also talk about the new EP. It went good and we had a blast with Janne! We played songs from Propagandhi, H2O, Rich Kids On LSD, Strike Anywhere, Bad Religion, No Use For A Name, Atlas Losing Grip, Snuff and Polar Bear Club.

After the radio show we went back to the venue and played the show. We didn't expect that there would be so many people because the brits cancelled so it was nice to see lots of faces from the stage. Tax was also awesome! It was the first time I saw them and I liked it very much. Check them out!

New rehearsal room

We moved to a new rehearsal room about two weeks ago. We had to do some renovation there because the room was totally empty. There's still some problems with the acoustics and everything sounds loud as hell but I think we manage to fix the situation.
