On niitä huonompia tanssijoita kuin minä.

Music for nerds

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Last tuesday some music accidentaly played on my laptop for 15 seconds, and somebody asked me, what was it.

Name of the band is “Absoluuttinen nollapiste”. It’s some kind of progressive pop-rock. The lyrics are in Finnish, and impossible to translate. But the music is also good, even if you don’t understand what are they singing.

Here’s one (definately not the best) example from Youtube.

The band is playing live in Klubi next Saturday. I’d go there myself, but I have other plans for the weekend.

And then something complitely different: the most charistmatic voice in Finland (and my ex-flatmate) Jaakkko Laitinen has a project called “Väärä raha” with Janne Hast from Absoluuttinen. You can listen their gipsy-balkan-folk-fusion on Myspace.
