   About Harry Hunks


Harry Hunks was founded in Helsinki, Finland, in the turn of the Millennium by Matti Eräsaari (vocals, guitar), Olli Moilanen (percussion, backing vocals) Mattis patrilateral crosscousin Antti Ahokas (keyboards) and Jaakko Laine (bass). Jaakko quit the band in 1999, which brought about the most experimental or unconventional phase in the bands relatively conventional history. First, he was replaced with Ollis left hand and an analogue synth (which caused problems in the rhythm section), then by Ollis younger brother (which caused problems at home), until Antti's left hand and a Rhodes stage piano took up the task in 2001. Pekka Kastari relieved Antti's left hand early in 2003. Nowadays Harry Hunks is lead by Antti and Matti having Pekka and Petri on the side. Lineup for live performances depends on feelings at the moment and also on the size of the current venue. Many skillful musicians are often at hand to join the guys on stage.

If there is a message or agenda in the music of Harry Hunks, then that too, is pretty conventional: to make their listeners feel something; to make them smile with the happier pop songs, or reach out for someone to hold during the moodier songs. Sometimes the band fails even this miserably; making people melancholy with its attempts at cheeriness or making them smile at the bands melancholy pathos. But that, too, amounts to making people feel something.

Harry Hunks has gigged throughout Finland and their records have been played by national and local radio stations. Both records and gigs have received favourable reviews in the Finnish music media.

Harry Hunks is a member of the loose indie pop collective Marsu on paras which organises clubs and events, releases records etc. Marsu on paras also includes members from bands such as ultrasport, The Rollstons and Red Carpet. For the past few years these bands have been prominent among the current Finnish indie scene, gaining recognition outside Finland as well.

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
