About Me

Ethel was founded in 1998 by Tomppa and Julle for the single purpose of playing good music. Or to be more precise, playing ONE gig of good music and recording ONE demo full of good music. (We were helped by Kanttu â€“who also plays great music in Cartoon Tree and Jadecroon- and Olli Linna, who sadly passed away some time ago. He was an all-round genius when it comes to music, as anyone who knew him can testify, and we miss him.)We accomplished our two goals, and decided to go on hiatus for an undecided period of time. During the break Tomppa moved to London for three years to study, and Julle also studied in the UK for a year. When both of us found our way back to Finland and Helsinki, we thought that why not, and decided to regroup with a new line-up and intention of playing a few more good gigs and record some more music.
