I promote shows for indie bands in Finland. I try not to do too much of it anymore as I've grown quite weary of it, but I'm always up for a good project. I've done tours for foreign acts such as The Cranes, Sole, Ninetynine, Sea Scouts and many more.
Über-geek musician (Viola, Echo Is Your Love and The Duplo), indie-label co-head-honcho (If Society), record collector and rock-trivia buff (how sad is that?!) from Helsinki, Finland. Not into using narcotics apart from a semi-excessive caffeine intake, but heavily into shaking my ass in an embarrasing manner when the beat is just right (Give me some Happy Mondays or The Rapture, and I'll be going fukkin' mental, hanging from the rafters going "WOOO!" and acting like an idiot in a heartbeat!).
Dear Tooth-fairy,
Please-oh-please make this humble wish of mine come true and I promise to be good for the rest of my days to come: remove that stupid feature from MySpace that let's people embed songs into their profiles! I'm fully capable of choosing for myself when and what to I want to listen to and I really do dislike being bothered by random song beginnings when I browse through my friends' profiles.
(Or at least make the feature of disabling music autoplay on MySpace work properly)
Who I'd like to meet: ♥Helen Baxendale♥ (Rachel of Cold Feet)
Please do not just randomly add me as a friend as I'm not into building a 1000 friend list of people I have no clue about. If you want to be cool and hip by being my friend, either know me in the real world or send me a message first. My momma didn't raise no fool.
noniin, myspace muistuttaa että sulla on lauantaina syndet. oon provinssissa joten en sillon muista onnitella. onnea tommi. toivottavasti nähdään kesän mittaan, muistellaan vanhoja aikoja kun.. kun kun.. niin, me ollaan kasvettu eri paikoissa, mut muistellaan silti.
JAM!
Aaayyyy!
