No-win situation (22.04.2007)
Well, we didn't win anything in BIT'07 Genzale was the judges' choice and very rightfully so. Awesome stuff. And Poor Jim was the people's choice, everybody hates us and we want to die. Nah, great gig, great fun, "we were all winners" as the great philosopher Ville said while grouphugging everybody and singing Queen's 'We are the champions'. Or something like that. Thank you everybody.
Saturday night fever (17.04.2007)
Some useful timetables for next Saturdays Tampere Yo-talo gig:
17.30 Garage Flower
18:00 Poor Jim
18:30 Genzale
19.00 Streetcar
So we will play last. Best position probably but also the longest wait and no beer for 4 hours. Argh. Our nerves. (Ok, maybe just one pint...)
Big In Tampere? (03.04.2007)
More info (in finnish) about the Monsters Of Pop -competition or BIT07 (Big In Tampere 2007) in the Valo blog. Our quote is lame, but truthful. Erm, a small correction: "occasional keys & percussion" in our bio means that they are played by one of our 4 members. That's why they happen only occasionally. So we don't have 6 members, ever. Hmm, a nice idea actually, does anyone here play any bongos?
The other bands are Garage Flower, Genzale and Poor Jim. Damn, they are good! They will kick our asses! Or maybe we will kick their asses! Or maybe everybody will have a good time, somebody will get the gig and everybody will have a pint or two together afterwards (preferred outcome).
Ok, band competitions...hmh... well, this is not exactly skiing, is it? Can't win or lose by 1/100 second like the legendary Juha Mieto. Of course some bands are perhaps better than others, but how can you measure that? And so on and so on blablabla philosphy blablabla art.
But we'll naturally give up all principles when the prize is right. Like a chance to get to play in Monsters of Pop -festival. That's what we'll be competing for in Tampere's Yo-talo (Yo!) on Saturday 21.4. with some other Finnish pop unknowns. Go Streetcar go! Faster faster!
Well, we're monsters and we're pop, we'll handle this (Damn, why couldn't we think of that one when the Aamulehti reporter asked for a quote...mental note, must improve press handling capacity)
