Band/artist history
Mmm, it's not all that interesting really. Check out the website if you really wanna know.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yeah, of course. We began playing live in October 2005 with two gigs across Estonia, and are now gigging back home in Finland. Resofest in Tartu was definately a highlight. We're interested in playing anywhere and everywhere; Alaska Kalanen has performed solo from Latvia to Australia. We love to travel - we'd be honored to play anywhere that will take us!

Nice! And if you ever pass Stochkolm, be sure to visit the Acoustic Cafe with your reso. Now, upload some breakbeat bottleneck-stuff, will you? Used to explore that stuff in the late 80's. Would be cool to hear someoneelse explore this area. Breakbeats are a great foundation for bottleneckblues. Keep that music coming!
Damn sounds great man, keep up the great music and keep the Blues alive!!!
