ps. happy to tell you that this is not it.. we still have (atleast) one more video coming. Taanila made also a video for Electric Ocean Sailor and this should be up sooner or later..

We are happy to present to you two videos instead of just one. First video for (You Shine) Brighter Than Light is already up and running and it is made by James Martin and Jonathan Ben-Ami, thanks alot guys!  Second video for Crystal Light should be ready within few weeks. It is made by legendary finnish videoartist/documentarist Mika Taanila, so we are quite excited! We have been really lucky to meet these talented people and work together in these two videoprojects. Hope you enjoy!

Hi !

We are quite lazy blog writers, but we are trying..

The year was very good to us. We didn't sell gold or even near, but many sophisticated listeners and quite many critics liked the album. Also we had friggin fun doing gigs here and there around Finland and even in Copenhagen.

For many reasons we're extremely happy for this year and looking forward what the year 2009 has in store for us. Hopefully there's going to be lot of touring and maybe little bit of recording.

Have a good year!

 

Here's how we've succeeded in the annual best albums votings in few finnish music medias:

Rumba magazine - 1 domestic album of the year
Soundi magazine - 6 domestic album of the year
Radio Helsinki - 9 album of the year

Hi!
