The way to pack an Opel Astra with only the necessary instruments, such as the boot and a blade for a circular wood saw.
Hi! We're more than fine :D I just had some cake and coffee and chocolate raisins and getting ready for the halloween (or Kekri in Finnish) party. We're happy that you like the songs and really hope you'll like the new songs we are working on! We will post some demos as soon as we get all the tracks laid on tape. There's also another music video coming up.
Oh and we are waiting for some videos from the gig at the tram to reach us.. There will be more of suitcase-drum -gigs in the future, I'm planning on pimping my old acoustic guitar to fit the setup better (this means I'm going to apply some weird meters and resonators and springs to the body of the guitar. It's going to be a monster! :)
Thanks for the support!

Hello! I just wanted to say that "Trippin" is a really, really good song. I thought it was going to be a stereotypical hippy song (not that those aren't good every once in a while, but still), but it's actually fantastic. The vocals are great, and as someone that stresses out waaaaaaaay more than I should, it kind of resonates with me, as cheesy as that must sound. Anyway, keep up the great work! :) I'll definitely be listening to you guys. :D
thank you! If it resonates with you, it is never cheesy!
The suitcase bassdrum in action accompanied by a Vekara - snaredrum and some miscellaneous equipment.
This is a cymbal stand. It is attached to the suitcase bassdrum with four bolts and wing nuts. It used to be a table leg. Today we painted it black. It is good.
This is a proper way of installing a bolt to a film canister. After installation it is good. We use it as a percussive instrument. Its name is "A Day at the Grave of Karl Marx"
This is a new percussive instrument entitled "A Day at the Grave of Karl Marx". It is an old film canister. It is good.
Ok, here's some info regarding our gig in a tram next Wednesday.
Our gig starts at 16:06 and we are going to play in tram 7A which starts at Pasila Railway station, Helsinki. The tram goes all the way to Töölö, to culture cafe Korjaamo. The ride costs 2,50 eur if bought from the driver, 1,80 eur if bought from a ticket vending machine or 2,00 eur if bought via SMS.
At 22:00 we will play a gig at Korjaamo, which is free entry for everybody.
This is going to be something wicked! Tomorrow we are going to build some instruments we are going to use on the gig.

Ok. So we are having a gig in Helsinki in couple of weeks. We are going to play at a place called Korjaamo. Before our gig we are going to play in a tram. Yeah, that's right, we will play a gig IN A MOVING TRAM. Both of the shows will be more or less acoustic and we will re-compose some of our old songs to fit for a manjo, suitcase, a frying pan, acoustic guitar and EKO Tiger- keyboard. This is going to be the shit.
And for the other stuff, this weekend is a studio weekend. We got some guitar and bass recording to do, so we will be working hard with Musti to get some tracks laid on our HD.

An interview of Mocca and Tmu at Radio Mega, the local station in Oulu. The interview is in Finnish only. Includes an acoustic live version of No Future.
So you made these "tests" just to be sure, eh?

The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."
