..with Opeth as the opening act! And there was also a band called Bigelf, but I only heard the last song from them, so can’t really say anything about their performance.
Opeth was…err… interesting. I was a bit surprised about their attitude: “The next song is difficult and we’re not sure if we are able play that”… and after song “okay, I guess it went pretty ok, what do you think?”. And the vocalist was telling stories about how he first time met Dream Theater. (more…)
Yes, after having to rehearsals with the whole band, we just smashed the other bands in the competition and made our way onto the finals that will take place on 9.10 @ Circus. That’s amazing!
We played two songs, started easily with Summer of ’69 and the second just blew out the whole Apollo club: Rebel Yell! The crowd was wild enough to convince the jury, that we need to be in the finals. And the number of female underpants on the stage was bigger than 0… 
This is fun, just a day after we thought about putting up a new band, we found out that one guy from Steerco (a company that my employer just bought) expects to take part to Firmarock, a competition for “company bands”. He is pretty competent on guitar and bass, so w have a band here! What makes this interesting, is that there’s not so much time for rehearsals, as the event will take place on 11.9….
My former band mate, Timo Laak – the drummer of ex-Bronze Doré, has moved into Helsinki and we’ve had some discussions about playing together again. And the discussions have been many, as we work at the same company now 
At the same time, the former Airut guitarist, Matti Äijänen is getting annoyed about not playing in any band. With him we’ve also had some plans on playing something new.
And just one day we happened to play Rock Band at our office and we found out that we have a hell of a vocalist working there! So let’s just put up a new band! I’ll post something about this project when I have something to tell.
