Real Vacation

Real Vacation was formed in the year 2000. J.J. Huotari gathered players around him from an already broken up band called No Way: J. Feldt into guitar and J. Kentt..maa as a drummer.
Real Vacation started with a lot of The Ramones influenced punkrock, but own sound and structure of music was soon developed by mixing various music styles and influences together. But of course, one can never precisely describe how the band sounds like, one must hear it by one's own ears.
First demo-CD-r's were released in the years 2000 and 2002. Real Vacation kept on touring with their mates No Shame and K..tyrit a lot.
In the year 2003 J. Kentt..maa decided to quit playing in Real Vacation because of his move into Southern-Finland and because of his other band projects (Hero Dishonest). And this was the beginning of Real Vacation's Spinal Tap joke: the drummer was changed for almost every tour since this. But luckily the drummers havent exploded (yet)!
In 2005 the first official release was took place. A 7" EP called "You Know The Words, You Know The Moves", which was kindly released by Roku Records. True punkrock attitude: you start up with vinyl!
In 2006 the drummer was (and hopefully to stay) T. Hautalampi (Hautsi), who has been playing in a band called Lambs, from Tornio. The album "Back To The Movies" was recorded in April. And now, in August 2006 it is finally released.
