Teloitus... and how it all came together
Welcome to our studio blog! It certainly has taken us a long time to get this far, but yes sir, we're finally recording our second album. First songs were written two years ago and the last one came together only this June. For the past year song-writing has been our main priority and as a result we've spent countless hours at rehearsal room working on this material as a band. It's been a long and hard road, but it was definitely worth it. We can't wait to let you guys hear what we've got to offer!
—Mynni Luukkainen, Kosti Orbinski, Pete Lapio, Tomi Otsala, Timo Häkkinen.

Writing updates for no one
No, we didn’t change the album title to cPanel. We experienced slight(?) issues with the server change on the past weekend and as a result, this site was down for a while. Goddamn I hate when stuff like that happens and there’s nothing I can do about it. As I type this, the site still isn’t available to anyone, so I have to admit, it feels kinda strange to write an update when no one can read it. Oh well, we’ve seen more distrubed people getting out of prison to kill again, so I guess I don’t need to worry, roit?
So, umm, what’s going on? Well, we drove back to Vaasa last Sunday for a video shoot! Everything went really well and I’ll type up a separate entry on the whole ordeal. Yesterday was pretty much just spent resting and listening to Hannu’s first mix. Today we’ll get down to the serious business and fight the whole day on who gets to say the last word on this whole “I wan’t my instrument to be the loudest” thing that the art of mixing is all about. (Natürlich Hannu gets the last word, but that’s not what I meant. I meant who in the band can win Hannu over to his side and thus win the whole war.)
Tomi: Minä oon Pete maksanut sen. Haluutko nähä kuitin?
Pete: No itse asiassa joo.
Tomi: Vai onko sulla muka sellainen olo, että oot ite maksanut sen?
Pete: Vahva kutina on. —Tomi bought Pete some sweets, but Pete feels different… At 5:15 AM.
As for what’s going on right now. Well. I’m babysitting a bunch of rockstars who went out last night to discuss foreign policy and tax issues with our video crew. Rumours say at least one beer bottle was seen nearby, but no official source has been able to confirm or deny this rumour. Somehow they all ended up drunk out of their minds, though, and woke me up to get back to the flat. Thanks guys, I love you too.
