Flyer for our next show. Details are correct. We are quite excited to play again, hopefully many of you will be able to attend.

Where to start

Start south: we boarded the ferry to tallinn during noon, red-eyed and dog-tired amidst the mediocrities. 3,5 hours of denial. life cannot be something like this. desperately trying to not mind the hangover

Elijah picks us up from the terminal. We walk the way to the EAST Gallery, which is located in a lovely old deserted building on Pikk in the old town of Tallinn. The music’s happening in the back-room and the front serves as a bar. We meet Andrus from Latvia who performs as Odd Sounds in the Dark, his lonely electric and acoustic guitars sounding as warm as his conversations.

A controlled chaos has been slowly seeping into our music. There’s no more panic, only confidence. Three guys are dancing to our arabic sounds, but when we kick up the distortion and proceed to melt things down there’s only a few guys sitting and John Fail standing, looking concentrated. Others have left. What are they afraid of?

The Band is moving house. We are moving from a cramped and filthy closet w/ no air-conditioning to a 50m2 space, where there’s enough room for us to have our equipment set up in one corner and have it set up at all times. This is a huge step forward fo us, that I believe will result in more rehearsing, more recordings, more output and maybe even more posts.

Recorded at Studio La Bas by Ari Salonen, June 2009

locked up in a basement for two days with ari handling things, it was a nice change of pace and a new enviroment to work in. we drank beer, ate cheap potato salad and discussed whether we sounded like 2000-era sonic youth or not. the we forgot about the whole thing and let ari mix it. we unearthed the recordings one year afterwards and were surprised by what we heard. maybe there will be an album.

live at myymälä2, It’s All In Your Mind 2010 ptII 15.5.2010.

the set consisted of improvisations around some new riffs that might end up as one or separate songs and a track with the working-title of “this heat”, that we’ve played at every show since january.
