About Me

»-(¯..v..¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯..v..¯)-«Founded in 2003, Tampere, Finland. Started as a solo project. First Mika came along. Then Lauri joined the ranks. After awhile, needed more noise, so we added another guitarist, Rami. In 2004 Rami quit, got Antti to replace him. Recorded first demo in October, 2005. Ville produced. Mika, Ville and Lauri engineered. Ville mixed, Mika assisted. A lot of people helped. Thanks to them. Here we are now. ;) Started gigging in December 2006 and doing the occasional performance every now and then FOR MP3 DOWNLOADS (BETTER QUALITY!)
