It's not often you hear good ol' rock'n roll these days, its probably more underground than any other musicstyle. But the midwest of Finland can consider themselves lucky cause there is still one band who's got what it takes, and thats five geezers with a lot of rock'n roll up their sleeves:

Daniel "Tsugu" Ainasoja - lead vocals, harmonica
Michael Bjolin - electric, acoustic guitar
Tomas Hellqvist - electric guitar, harmonica and vocals
Jonas Ainasoja - bassguitar
Staffan "Paffo" Hongell - drums and vocals

History

The bands first rehersal were around eastern 1996, but then with a different drummer and bassist and even an organplayer. There have been many changes since, and the last lineup have been around since march 1998.

There have also been changes in musical style, from The Doors & other psychedelic music to 70's hard rock and our nowadays more southern & bluesrock-style, but of course we've never forgot our debt to classic rock'n roll bands as Hurriganes, ZZ Top and Rolling Stones. Ever since the start we have also made our own songs and some have been recorded too (read more and listen to songs in Real Audio-format in the productions -section).

We have played mostly around Karleby (Kokkola) and Jakobstad (Pietarsaari), but have also been down to Vasa and Närpes to play.
