About Me

Dame is a Finnish band formed in 2006 by Emilia "Emppu" Suhonen of Tiktak fame. She had just finished recording her solo album So Was It Worth Dying For , released by HMC , on which she plays all of the instruments except the drums, when she found herself in a situation where a band was needed in order to play the music live. She called up her good friend Masi Hukari (ex- Feiled , ex- Apulanta ), who gleefully accepted the offer to crank out some wicked guitar stuff. When the question of rhythm section arose, Masi already had a couple of cats in mind that would fit the bill... and the rest, as they say, is history.
Today Dame consists of Emilia, Masi, Antti Härmä on bass and the mighty Heikki Malmberg of Manzana and the Finnish metal mayhem Diablo on drums.
Currently the band is working on its second album, hopefully to be released by 2017.
Booking (Finland and International): Popgee/Matti Kaunisvesi
