Pekka -LoDe- Loikkanen
My band is just ME at this moment!
I play all guitars and basstracks, program the drums on my computer and record it all at home with my computer (pc). I've been getting some help with the vocals from a Great friend of mine Gary Ramsey from King's Mountain, NC, U.S.A.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play my own stuff live, yet!
I do play live with my AC/DC -coverband sometimes. We play where-ever invited to play! I like to play in my coverband for just having a good time.
I'd love to play my own songs live but so far I've got no other musicians for it.. searching though..
