and more...
Someone on our site told us Lauri is leaving the band because he is pregnant! - Aki Hakala
What is one thing you can't get enough of?
A: Whole band bursts into laughing. "Wonder what is the one thing we can't get enough," Aki says in the middle of the laughing.
"Once I saw this really beautiful girl in the front row at our gig. I lost my mind temporarily and was playing the drums really loud in a B-part of a song when I was supposed to play silently. They guys we're glancing me over their shoulders and thinking what is he doing. I haven't seen the girl since, but I have sent her my best greetings. Thanks for ruining my gig!"
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be?
Pauli: Michael Jackson (laughs) That would be cool
Lauri: You could sleep in an incubator.
Pauli: I wouldn't have to
Lauri: What would happen to you then?
Pauli: Oh yeah.
Lauri: Your face would fell off. Remember the effects of polluted air! (laughs)
Are there any scary moments that you can remember?
Lauri: "The first time that I went to Disneyland I was so shocked: there were walking 2 Mickey Mouses! One at the entrance and one at the cowboypark. Man, that was the least thing that I expected!"
Eero: "Finland is a very big country, with a small amount of people, and we are a very shy race. Therefore people drink a lot to get rid of the shyness. In the winter everyone gets depressed and they drink even more."
Lauri (offended): "Man, you make it seem like the worst place in the world!"
Eero: "Well, you know, the nature is nice..."
Is it true you watched horrormovies during the making of Dead Letters?
Pauli: "Yes, but we watched other movies too. We were in a hotel in Stockholm, cause we were taking the songs there. We were watching a lot of movies there because we had nothing else to do!"
Eero: "Do you know the horrormovie: The Lion King?"
Pauli: "Yup, the Lion King was a real scary movie Eero..! I watched it too! I mean, between that monkey with the face paint and Simon and Pumba, what could be scarier?"
Do you still listen to your old cd's?
Eero: "Yes, and then we laugh really loud, hahaha!"
What do you think of Lauri's hair?
Pauli: I like it very much, because Eero and I have designed it!
Eero: He can sleep with it, when he wakes up he doesn't have to do his hair!
Mag : It looks like you make a good pack. Don’t you ever have any disagreements?
Eero: Everything happens. After one concert Lauri, Pauli and Aki organized a party in the next room in hotel. I called the reception and finked on the noise.
Lauri: And we thought that it was some kind of VIP who made us to finish the party. When we knew it was Eero – we wanted to finish him off...
high heels or sneakers?
Aki: high heels are cool for man. It’s totally glamrock! But i wouldn’t weare them myself... it’s too gay-like.
Lauri: i trumble over my feet al the time already, dat would only get worse with high heels. So sneakers.
vodka or a joint?
Aki: wodka.
Lauri: but finnish wodka!
Aki: makes you nice warm. Especially when you drink a lot. I could drink a whole bottle in one evening.
