Larry Button & 3V are buskers from central Finland who play improvised monotonic electronic music. Usually they have little robot animals with them as their co-pilots through the dangerous drunken streets. Winters are still a bit too cold here for streetplaying so they spend the coldest season resting their bones and taking care of their pets. Sometimes they take them to play at clubs if somebody wants. They are the real entertainers.
Some copies of Larry Button & 3V's tape "Muukalaiset yössä - eläimet työssä" is still available from Syrjälän Nauhasto. This C20 includes robotanimals' gig from Vakiopaine, Jyväskylä, electrostonerfolk -streetplaying from same night and session from Vihtavuori, all mashed up to two ten minute vari-speed wanderings. EDIT 080622: sorry, that one is sold out too.
