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.

Youtube is the tits!
Everybody knows you gotta work hard when you're in studio. Here are some of the vids we've been watching on Youtube when we should've been working hard.

A Hard Day's Night
About an hour ago I got a message from Mikki asking if all the guys made it back to our flat. The reason he asked was because they were all kicked out, one by one, during the night. To answer this question, yes, they all made it back here and I have photo and video evidence to prove it.
En ole nukkunut! —Tomi being kicked out
I believe the night went something like this. After midnight the guys left and visited a bunch of bars. At some point Tomi started feeling sleepy and he was kicked out. Apparently he took a taxi and made it back here on his own. At this point it's noteworthy to mention that we only have one key to this place, and Tomi had it. Pete is another story altogether. At this point there's no way to tell why, when and where from he was kicked out and how he got back to our flat. Tomi did let him in. I myself woke up closer to 4 AM because Pete was snoring while sitting on his inflatable mattress... Sure that's one way to sleep?
Then the phones started ringing and I knew it had to be Kosti, because he was still missing - drunk, alone, lost in a strange city and no idea where our flat was. I called him and gave him instructions so he could get here. He fooled around in front of my video camera for a while before hitting the bed around 4:30. We also made a bet at this point. I said Pete wouldn't be tracking guitars by 11 AM as we had agreed earlier on, but Kosti trusted his partner like a fellow guitar player always should. As I'm typing this, I know I've just earned two euros, which was nice!
