Band Bio
It was the year 1994. I was hanging out in Texas searching for the meaning of life with my friend Mika Sillanpää. One morning, the U.S.A Today -magazine appeared and we read that Kurt Cobain had ended his pain by leaving our world. Highly respecting his music, we decided that someday we would start a band that plays the material of Nirvana while faithfully conveying the spirit of the original songs.
After nine years, in 2003, we finally took action and began practising with Mika on guitar and vocals and me playing the drums. But we were in need of a bass player. That's when our good friend and an excellent musician, Toby Wiio, came along.
However, our journey with Toby came to an end in the summer of 2006 and Lauri Vehkala with his 40 lbs. of hippy love replaced him.
Now, after many pints, bumps and bruises and miles on the road, we are better than ever and ready to perform and celebrate the legacy of Nirvana -- one of the best groups of all times.
Nirvana-Tribute is active touring tribute to the one of the most popular grunge bands of all time: NIRVANA. Formed in 2003, this power trio of siblings has the chemistry, stage presence, and sound to match Nirvana.
Their live show's have to be seen to be believed, many hours of hard rehearsing have been undergone to get the sound so spot-on. So if you missed out on seeing the 'real deal', there is no alternative, accept no fakes, this is your chance to say "I swear I was there..!"
