The French-Finnish pop sensation The Dø first drove the media and music listeners wild first in France and is currently stirring the Finnish music scene. Next up is the rest of Scandinavia. Band’s debut album ‘A Mouthful’ will finally be released officially in Finland Wd 9/7 and rest of Scandinavia in near future.
The Dø is comprised by French-Finnish Olivia B. Merilahti and Tunisian-English-French Dan Levy who combined their strengths after getting to know each other during a film music project they were both involved in. Followed by the hype surrounding the band, ‘A Mouthful’ went straight to number one in France in January 2008 and the band melted the nation’s hearts with their energetic live shows. The Dø became number one with the help of their hugely popular MySpace-site and as the single ‘On My Shoulders’ ended up as the theme song to an advertising campaign. By June 2008, The Dø had had over 2,4 million visitors on their MySpace-site and their album had already sold approximately 130 000 copies in France.
‘A Mouthful’ includes refreshing and pop music reshaping tunes and it’s filled with catchy melodies. The Dø’s performances emanate playful self-confidence and the sheer joy of creating. The band combines pop, rock, folk, trip hop, electro and soul in a fascinating way. Olivia’s charming vocals bind it all together as the unique The Dø-sound.

Kuolleet Intiaanit is a group that claims the artistic liberty belonging to it and takes all fun out of that liberty. The band virtually overindulges with that freedom. The debut album Puuluuranko opens up imaginative surreal world on which nihilism hits the listener in the ear and occasionally strokes the skin lightly like a feather. Hilariously aggressive and insane world gets drawn on the listeners mind with the spinal technique of lyrics. This is done in the way that is better known in fine arts than in music. Songs invite the listener to the crocodile hunt, tell about committing suicide by drinking sand or warming up by using camel shit, there are songs about the swing swigging the yard, old people getting renovated, living without brains just like lunatics etc. Kuolleet Intiaanit is a mystical group hiding behind stage names and refusing to give interviews. Puuluuranko is the art gallery of Kuolleet Intiaanit and the songs are paintings hanging on the walls of that exhibition room. The interpretation and experience of those art works is left to the listeners/spectator. On stage the band almost turns to sheer theatre. The group has built a reputation for itself with bewildering and ferocious live performances. The bands music and lyrics are something previously unheard of, but its their live performances in particular that are unprecedented. www.kuolleetintiaanit.net
