Summer party 1999, somewhere in Tuusula. Two grunge-heads and guitar players who had just met each other, Esa and Mikko, started talking about forming a band. Esa was and still is into Pearl Jam and especially Soundgarden gets his knees shaking. It is also from Soundgarden that Esa has adopted his style of tuning his half acoustic not-so-traditionally. Despite Soundgarden’s (and Esa’s) sometimes complex way of approach to rhythm, Esa has played (or, “performed”) in straightforward punk bands also. In addition to grunge, Mikko has also been listening to some heavier stuff, which might have had some effect in his style to grab his Les Paul. Before F32.10 Mikko has played only a couple of gigs. Juha, The drummer, joined in the turn of the millenium. Before he had played several styles from punk to britpop and his musical interest lies mainly in the British islands. These things might add a bit of a different view into band's style.. We got together and started to play Esa’s own grunge/progressive style songs. Odd rhytmic patterns and bizarre song structures.
Years went by and a bass player and a singer were something that we all agreed we must get. Quite a few axe maniacs got to our rehearsals but not so many with the required enthusiasm (or, Esa’s way of writing songs might have something to do with to-be-bass players sucking their thumbs instead of whackin’ their instruments). Some stayed and played with us a few times but nothing very serious came out of it. One day in 2004 Esa’s friend’s friend, bass player Matti Stenvall came to hear us and didn’t say no at the first hear. Matti joined the band and we started to play more intensively. He had some own riffs and stuff to mess with. At this point Mikko too started to bring more of his ideas to F32.10. So from this point onwards, the songs were constructed more collectively and the style was moving into a more straightforward and maybe heavier also. Late in the year of 2004 we went to studio in Munkkiniemi to record our first demo cd. The result was something that had to be overplayed by the next demo. Anyway, now we had something in our hands to introduce ourselves to the singer candidates. After all, it wasn’t a one or two microphone fiends that had been joined our rehearsals in this respect. None of them were quite the one we thought we were looking for. But the answer to this problem was nearer than we thought.
Besides himself, Mikko knew another clown from the arctic town of Kemi. New Helsinki citizen JP had a long background in playing around with strato in a Pirates cover band. Add to this, JP was also a Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpins digger and had performed couple quite successful Pearl Jam cover gigs in vocals. So, JP visited our rehearsals (but did not joined the band) first in the beginning (around 2001-2002) when we weren’t still quite sure what we wanted to play. Couple of years later after hearing the first demo he obviously saw some potential and came to second thoughts. By that time stoner rock bands like Kyuss, Unida, Mannhai, Dozer, Honcho etc. had raised more and more interest in our minds and in JP’s mind also. So, from grunge to stoner, at least in the ‘listening to’ section.
When JP came for the second time to experiment with our band (in 2005), there was another (female) vocalist to be recruited too, Katja. There was even a vision of two vocalists, which is a nice thing if it works out. Around that time we filmed our first music video for the band. It was from the track Girly Deathsquad, from the Munkkivuori sessions. After that Katja’s and our paths took different turns so the new official singer became JP. Intense training (well, once a week) led to performing a couple of gigs live in Helsinki. It was at that point when we had moved away some miles from the progressive style and the stoner influence could be heard much easier. JP adopted a more shouting-style-way of singing and the new demo cd was ready in December 2006. It has the tracks Hit by a Truck, fully written by JP, and Don’t Tell No Lies by the whole band. The songs were recorded in RedFive Studio, Vantaa by our producer Toni Kimpimäki and the sounds were very satisfactory as you can hear. The end result has gotten very much positive feedback. Short after that, our and Matti’s ways got separated and we had to find new man to do the bass job. We heard that a bloke called Mikko K. was now a “free agent” because of his band Baborb’s death. Originally he has been a guitarist but he got himself a Warwick and a Hartke and off we went again. Second time in RedFive Studio was in May 2007 and the results include one up-tempo rocker with Kyuss-outro and another quite moody track clocking over 6 minutes.
Year 2008 started very well. F32.10 got 1-2 gigs per month which was target for us. Plus F32.10 were supporting Truckfighters on Feb 2008. Few weeks after the gigs singer Jp told that he wanted left the band and that was it. Rest of the year F32.10 was helped by Urban Safaris Jaki and Elephant bells Tommi.
We had almost 20 different singer during the year 2008. Even spring 2008 was very bad for the band, 2x open air festival booked F32.10 to last band on one friday night on August (we had flave works too on stage). Then F32.10 took Elepaht bells Tommi to sing on festival. F32.10 Ezz started on December 2007 plan some gigs with Dozer and after summer 2008 Ezas plans were ready for the tour. So F32.10 feat. Tommi had four gigs with Dozer on first week of September. After good gigs Tommi went back to his bizz and we just started to search again singer.
After few hard month and loosing again member (Messenger messiah left the band for..well for a time ) Swedish fellow Simon found us. After few rehesals and bar night we took Simon to F32.10. After Simon came in we started really thinking of changing our name. After newyear 2009 we had a horrible brainstorm and 8.1.2009 WE FUCKING DECIDE IT.
F32.10 is gone and Ezz the Mess, J., Kelando Jelbodo and Simo are SILVER MOTH.
...and what comes to Silver Moth. We are having almost same kind of musical elements than before. We have good gigs going on with Elephant bell, Dark Filt Fraternity and Sparzanza and maybe some more Who knows=)) . Well Gee now we are Silver Moth ...you.... Freeking Stoners
