Cartoon Tree was founded in 1996, by Harri Huuhtanen and Jari Kangaskorte, after discovering their mutual passion for melancholic power-pop with beautiful melodies and Beatlesque harmonies. They started to write songs that followed along the lines of such pop-groups as Teenage Fanclub, Fountains of Wayne and Posies, and soon after the entire band took shape, the first single Roller was released under Popatak label. In 1999, the LP, Goodbye Mrs. Greeneyes (Popatak/Poko), saw the light. Produced by Australian pop-guru Dom Mariani (Stems, Someloves, DM3), the album was well received by the indie circles of Finland.
After gigging around Finland for some years, the band went on a break to write music for the Songs From Northern Finland demo, made available in 2004. The success of the new tracks led to new gigs and a deal for the second LP, due to appear at the end of this year.The current line-up of the band is Harri Huuhtanen (vocals,guitar) Jari Kangaskorte (vocals, guitar),Maako Härönen (vocals, bass) Pena Ruotsi (vocals, drums).
Cartoon Tree loves harmonies and backround vocals. Cartoon Tree plays power pop.
