Wall of Mouths

Nice bill! Motörhead should be the headline but it´s true that most of the youngsters (or the “new” audience) know only the the Foo or the QOTSA bands, what a shame…good bands both , though.
Hyde park, a nice place for a concert: was there last summer just before the MH 30th anniversary gig at Hammersmith and we took there a couple of beers before jumping into the bus:)
I could almost feel then the atmosphere of people watching the Stones or Peppers years ago…
Nice park, better than the Sorsapuisto here in Tampere

:) nice to see that there´s two gigs in Finland! Will defitenitly go to the Tampere gig cause Belladonna is back in business again! Nice:)

start with these:
Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables
and
In god we trust

those are my favourites:)

1977 waa a good record. Haven´t heard so much of them after that. They played a fine gig at Provinssi Rock festival 1996 here in Finland.
Who was Charlotte, what was her role in the band?

I was a bit surprised too when I saw the selist before the gig, and I asked that why not Gum songs at all.Paavo they wanted to play the older stuff. Paavo said that if this gig goes well, they practise more of the other albums too.
This was the first time for Paavo as a leadsinger as he sings the backingvocals on their own gigs.
Kati said that it is hard to compaire his vice to Andy`s cause our hero has got such an unique voice, but Paavo did it well, we think.
We didn´t talk about Safka, but I´ve heard from other sources that he is Paavo´s daddy. I bet you knew Marko this already: Mattahau is brother to Christus from Negative and their father is/was the late Arwo T. Mikkonen from Popeda.
So the talent of playing and singing goes in the family with those boys:)
I didn´t talk so much with Ilari but I guess he´s the drummer of Bloodpit. He wasn´t a lauzy drummer at all!!!ROK!

just got home back from VastaVirta Klubi.
Here´s the setlist:
Meat Abstract
Opal Mantra
Punishment Kiss
Accelator
Neck Freak
Innocent X
Nausea
Potato Junkie

Paavo: guitar and lead vocals
Matthau: bass and backing vocals
Ilari: drums

So it was almost the whole Bloodpit gang and they played weeeeelll! I´m really happy this happened!!!Years and years I`ve wished that some band would play T? stuff and now it happened!
Talked to Paavo before they played and he said that they only had practised two times before this first Potato Junkies gig: amazing how fine and sharp they played:) Those guys can play, that´s for sure:cool:
Paavo said when I saw the setlist before the gig that he doesn´t want to sing fresher material this time cause he cannot sing like Andy (as i thought earlier they would play Gum stuff mostly..), he wants to practise more of that melodic singing.
More Potato gigs will see they´re daylight for sure in future, the dudes promised us!!So beware Hellsinki:)
Tampere is a rockcity for sure!!!
almost forgot: the set is on video, Michael and others, copies will reach you during winter/spring -06!

now I´ll rest down and sleep as I/we have to go to work early:(

I think that the singers moustache is really grose. Gayish. :D

Hellö! I got it as christmaspresent from my buddy, who is genious with this loading stuff from the net and shit like that..:)It is in the net (or was) for download. As you know, promostuff leaks easily to net, good fro some, bad for the bands..
Yees, that moustache is gayish, but I´d like to have that kinda moustache too:D heh, heh.
BTW: you´ll get it on the 8th of feb from levykauppa X: check it out!!

Amorphis: Eclipse
First thought that when Pasi Koskinen left the band, a time ago that it would be the end of their story, but I was wroooong: this new vocalist can sing and he´s go a nice moustach too:).
There is lots of good songs on the fothcoming release, not only the single “House of sleep”:)
So U better check it out, metalheads:)

:eek: amazing… why is finland so far away… :(
I’d love to see them!

An,if I manage to get the set on vid tonite, you´ll have your copy in near future:)

Bloodpit guys said in an finnish musicmag, Soundi, that “Troublegum” is the most infulencial album no:1 for the whole band, so I guess there will be a lot of songs of that T? era in their set…
Like I said earlier, the Bloodpit lads can play, so I think it will be a one hell of a interesting evening:)

Sooorry; I´m really bad with these links and shit like that stuff (should go back to the stoneage, heh, heh..), but follow that link and go there to the päävalikko and there is this keikat/gigs topic and there you´ll find the “Rock for the dog 3” topic

Yees, I´ll try! Will ask the lads first if they want that someone will tape them..I have filmed many bands in that club so that won´t cause any problems at all, I know the staff;)By theway, that band plays VERY well!
Anyway here´s a link:

http://www.punkinfinland.net/forum/viewforum.php?

…remember they we´re called “Sweeneys” or something like that…?

Anyone happen to know any other T? coverbands around the globe these days. What I remember there was an german posse who played T? songs acoustic outside the venues in Germany, where T? had their gigs in the late 90ies (so before the gigs and then the lads were invaited in as guests to the T? gigs), am I right about that…?

Title: T? coverband Potato Junkies

will play at the local punk club “Vastavirta Klubi” here in Tampere/Finland next wednesday 25.01. There will be three other bands too and the night is called “Rock for the dog 3”.
Potato Junkies includes couple of members of the rising young finnish band Bloodpit and two other finnish T? “freaks”.
So all U finnish T? (who live in the Tampere area or near here)fans, see U there if U can make it. We´ll take the gig on vid if possible and post it then to Michael so T? can see and hear how the “Potato band” sounds and looks like on the stage.

Ozzy: Prince of darkness boxset
Iggy Pop: A million in prizes/the anthology
Dee Dee Ramone: Hop around
Throw Rag: 13th ft. and rising

Title: Lemmy´s 60th birthday today

Happy birthday Lemmy! 60 years of uncle rock n`roll, 30 years of Motörhead!

Tumppi Varonen: 100%. Got the cd with Tumppi´s signature as fathersday present last sunday from my daughters. Tumppi Varonen is one of those living finnish punklegends (among those who still are alive and kicking: Pelle, Jakke, Lateri…). He´s voice is awesome:)

:) You have a very, very good taste in music! Lemmy is a GOD, if someone doesn´t happen to know that by now…:)

Verenpisara: Irtileikattu

I know that this is nonsense to others but kossu started to talk about the finnish music and I’ll continue… :p
All the finns here should buy this album and see the band live. Quite “heavy” riffs and brilliant vocals. Oh, and the drummer hits EXTREMELY hard and they don’t need to mike them at stage… We saw them 4 times at last tour and they kicked our asses big time. :p

Thumbs up to I Got the knives? for the first album on your list! :D

Hello again! Yeees, Verenpisara is a brilliant finnish band! I have only seen them once live, couple of years ago at Tammerfest at here in Tampere and it did hit me hard:)!
Remember when we came back from Estonia from the Rabarock fest, when you played the debut “Aamunodottaja# in your car way back to Riihimäki; it helped my hangover:)
Sorry again that I couldnt behave such a deasent human beign, I am what I am (when I drunk..). Butbcheers again, Rabarock was the best T? outdoor gig Ie ever been to:)
Now weŕe waiting here for the support act to step on stage (don remeber the bands name now:)) Pauli is here too! Regards from him too!
Pete and Kati
PS: I still have that thing borrowed from you: that which only works in UK:) U know what m talkin’bout…

Ypö Viis: Karhulan poikii, koko stoori: we´re going to see them tonite at VastaVirtaKlubi in Pispala/TRE westside. Band hasn´t played since the late eighties, it´s a kinda “reunion” thinga. Ypö Viis is a finnish punk classic, incase someone doesn´t know em´:)

D.A.D: Scare Yourself. Listening to the cd and watching the bonus dvd which comes with it. Danish and dynamite:)

;)No naps ´til Napster… now you know what I´m talkin about:)
