22-Pistepirkko play a show for the www, the wild world web
August 10, 8pm 22-pistepirkko live concert from the studio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are trying out something new, dedicated to those people who haven't had the chance yet to hop on one of those live dates, we constantly post somewhere. 22-Pistepirkko gonna play a live concert in a intimate Helsinki recording studio, filmed and broadcasted live by a new webservice from Finland, named Jenkatehdas.
Jenkatehdas is a virtual venue, an internet rock club. Like with real venues, there is a date set, an entrance fee and a stage time. They promise to have a good sound system, and they have 3 proper cameras operating, (instead of 30 cell phone cameras producing blury and blasting youtube snippets). They don't have a bar, so what you gonna drink is up to you. Same if you want to smoke or not. You can invite friends to your house, as many as you have and fit in. They say, you can even interact and ask the band questions. You have to buy a ticket, it's 5,- euros, and you have to switch on in time. Concert start 20:00/8pm Helsinki time.
So if you are in Seattle (then it's 10am PDT), Buenos Aires (2pm ART), Johannesburg (7pm SAST) or Hong Kong (Aug. 11., 1am HKT) it might be quite early or late. (But, hey, we still remember those times when we got up in the middle of the night and gathered in front of a black and white TV set due to see Muhammed Ali vs. Frazier in Zaire or Armstrong walking on the moon. You see how old we are and how new this here is to us.) Ok -Jenkatehdas is new as well - let's try and meet online for a unique moment:
Jenkatehdas crew have already set up the site where you can register (first) and get your ticket for 5,- euro (credit card payment). [link]
