18.7.2010No speed limit for The Micragirls
18.7.2010
If a band is named after a car which is sparkling and sympathic, one can’t help thinking if the same applies to the band.

Ville Leinonen came and puzzled
18.7.2010
Those who were expecting a sensitive troubadour to perform at the Sue-stage, were in for a disappointment or for a big surprise at the very least. Instead of a faerie prince, the audience was greeted by Ville Leinonen wearing a thick moustache, a jeans jacket and a pair of highway patrol sunglasses. This cool rockabilly rooster was accompanied by a trio called Majakan Soittokunta, equipped with a cello and a saxophone, and additionally with various pots and pans. The chameleon has once again changed its pattern. Lue loput tästä artikkelista »

18.7.2010Bad Religion – 30 years of age and no signs of slowing down
18.7.2010
Even though George the Boy King Bush has been removed from the throne, Bad Religion still has work to do. The social injustices and the down-right crookedness of the world are the main ingredients from which the 30-year-old tyrannosaurus of punk rock cooks its songs.
