How I made my profile: I used Dave & Jay's amazing myspace profile editor.
ROOTS OF THIS PROJECT LIE BACK IN NEW YEARS EVE 2005.
I WAS SPENDING AN EVENING WITH OLD BANDMATES FROM
MICHAEL MONROE'S BAND, THE DRUMMER LACU LAHTINEN AND
GUITARIST LAMPPARI. WE REMEMBERED "THE
GOOD OL..TIMES BACK IN 1999-2000, WHEN WE TOURED EUROPE WITH M.M.
WE HAD A GREAT TIME BACK THEN, AND WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT
DOING SOME PROJECT TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE.
AT FIRST WE WERE PLANNING ON DOING SOME COVER-GIGS AND
decided ON GRAHAM BONNET- TRIBUTE. FIRST PROBLEM WAS
WHERE TO FIND A SINGER WHO CAN SHOUT HIS GUTS OUT.
WE DIDN..T FIGURE ANYBODY OUT, SO WE THOUGHT HOW
ABOUT GRAHAM BONNET HIMSELF.WAY BACK BEFORE THE
INTERNET, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
I MADE A REFERENCE-LIST OF WHAT WE HAD DONE WITH DIFFERENT
ARTISTS AND BANDS OVER THE YEARS TO PROVE WE ARE PROFESSIONAL.
MUSICIANS AND TO GET G.B.:S ATTENTION THAT WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS
I WAS BLOWN AWAY,WHEN I GOT AN ANSWER FROM G.B.
HIMSELF IN FEW DAYS. HE WROTE THAT THIS SOUNDS INTERESTING
AND GAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER. I WAS LIKE "WOW" CAN THIS BE THAT EASY.
AFTERWARDS THINKING IT WASN..T JUST ONE PHONE CALL.
IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS,AND STILL COUNTING.
IN LESS THAN A WEEK WE HAD A LINE-UP READY AND A SINGER READY TO FLY TO FINLAND FROM L.A.
DAFFY :GUITAR
LAMPPARI: GUITAR
JAY LEWIS: BASS
LACU LAHTINEN. DRUMS
PATE KIVINEN: KEYBOARDS
SO I BOOKED THE GIGS, TOOK CARE OF THE MEDIA, BOOKED INTERVIEWS
FOR RADIO AND NEWSPAPERS, I TOOK CARE OF THE FAN MEETINGS.
I WAS THE TOUR MANAGER AND THE GUITAR PLAYER.
IT WAS A HELL OF A JOB FOR ONE MAN, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.
AFTER FOUR MONTHS IN MAY 3RD 2005 I FINALLY MET ONE OF MY BIGGEST
HEROES AT PIRKKALA AIRPORT. WE HAD TWO REHEARSALS AND THEN WE DID THE FIRST FIVE-GIG TOUR.
