The Rasmus Goes Back To School....


The Rasmus celebrates their 15th anniversary by playing a gig in the gym hall of Suutarila school in Helsinki on 23rd November. The venue is the same where the band first started their career in 1994 in the school’s Christmas Party.


Because of the limited capacity of the venue, the event is for invited guests only. The audience consists of a group of old class mates of The Rasmus members, some of the present pupils of Suutarila school and the winners of a special contest run by Irc-Galleria. Irc-Galleria will also broadcast the whole concert as a live stream world wide. Viewing the stream does not require registration to the service.


IRC-Galleria is one of the largest social networking websites in Finland with over 800 000 weekly users.


The event is implemented together with Sulake (the administrative corporation of IRC-Galleria) and Mikkeli University Of Applied Sciences. The multi-camera production is provided by Mikpolis Oy.

On November 25th, The Rasmus will release “Best of 2001-2009”, a compilation of all the hit songs from their four latest albums, including the million-selling “In The Shadows”, most of the singles and a few rarities.

Says Lauri: "We felt it was time to sum up these past ten years. Eero said, let's call the album "This is how I spent my twenties"... No matter how stupid it sounded that is pretty much the truth. We went on this crazy rollercoaster ride, it has been an amazing time. We have travelled to more than 60 countries, from ..India.. to ..Siberia.., met thousands of fans all over the world and enthusiastic people working with our records. And when I look back on these last four records I feel very proud of them. We decided to include most of the singles to the album with a couple of our favorite album tracks, and the new song October & April.”

Day off in Vladivostok.

Hello friends! One of my dreams came true, I'm in Vladivostok. All the day off, if we don't count the press conference and some interviews we did...why I'm calling it a day off then...anyways...Really nice day, so many things to do and see, Beautiful orthodox churches, I visited the chinese markets, but maybe the coolest thing was the old submarine. We got inside and saw how people have been sleeping there etc. I even went into the tube/pipe (or how do you call it) which is for the torpedos, but don't tell anybody, i wasn't allowed to do that. 
Lauri and Eero and our lovely light engineer Mikko went to scuba dive, they saw interesting underwater life of Vladivostok. Eero got a little sunburned, so if you wonder who is the crabguy on the bass, it's him, believe or not. 
Everyone feels very relaxed and ready for the show tomorrow, it's gonna be outdoors so let's hope it's not raining! And if it's raining we'll have great fun anyway, right?

Ok, i think i'll put my electric blue Speedos on and go to swim. 

Pus och Kram,

Aki "Speedo" Hakala

Khabarovsk-Vladivostok flight 6:30AM

This flight is maybe the most awful in my life, the turbulence was so bad, our bags flew so high that they hit the ceiling, Keri Kellys (Alice Coopers guitarist) red wine too and then it was all over me. I was so scared, now I'm bit afraid of the landing...will there be turbulence as well...my heart is still beating like hell and i'm sweating like a pig, as we say in Finland. 

Ok, let's think about nice things now, I need to get rid of this feeling. We played ultimate rock show in Khabarovsk, had so much fun on the stage, and yes we played 60 min set, jahuuuuuuuu!!! I Want to thank all the people who came to check us out! And made our first visit to Khabarovsk very special, hope to come back soon!
Also we saw some of the city. I went to the river with Lauri and Eero, saw some nice churches, drove dodgem cars, had really nice day! 

I'm so much looking forward to spend couple of days in Vladivostok, some of our friends from another finnish band (Amorphis) have been there and they said it's beautiful. I have my camera with me so i hope to find something interesting to shoot.

Ou shit, time for the landing, everybody seem to be a bit scared, so let's pray for the best and I'll let you know how it was...


Vladivostok-Khabarovsk flight 7:02AM

Our pilot wasn't able to land, we need to fly back to Khabarovsk! Shit! I'll try to sleep...


Khabarovsk-Vladivostok flight 11:50AM

Ok, second try...the sky looks more clear now. Hope we have more luck this time! So far so good...


Khabarovsk, at the hotel 6:00PM

Ah, slept so well, what a tiring day. The second try of landing was successful, thank god. Now it's time to have a "morning" coffee and a little walk outside before the dinner. Tomorrow is a day off too, so if you're from Vladivostok please let me know what  should we see in here, thanks. And see you at Avantgard Stadium!!!

Flying is nice, flying is nice, flying is nice.............NOT!

Cancellation / Novosibirsk

As all the fans in Novosibirsk know Monsters of Rock gig was cancelled (not only our show but the whole festival).
We are extremely sorry about it! We feel as bad as you guys. This situation was not in our hands, and it sucks. People who got upset cause of this remember that you're important part of The Rasmus family and we hope to play for you as soon as possibly!!!

Anyway I want to say that we liked your city (and the zoo) very much and we had the best russian food on this tour in Novosibirsk! 

Take care of yourselves,

Aki& the boys

On the plane Rostov-Ekaterinburg.  02:23AM. 

We spent couple of nice days in Rostov, did the riverboat trip, went to the market place, enjoyed the nice (very hot) weather, met some fans and friends, and yes also played a gig...It was the second The R show in Rostov, in a sport hall, where people had seats, and if one stand up the security guys asked people to sit down, that was rock'n roll, hehehehe!!! First i felt that our music is never going to work for these people, but after couple of songs i only saw smiling people, I think they enjoyed what they heard. And of course it was good to see some The R fans with finnish flags in the crowd, thanks for the great support!!! All the Scorpions guys came to check us out as well, that was cool.

After the gig we went to see The Scorpions, we had seats on the 4th row, so pretty good places...good old songs like Rock you like a hurricane, Still loving you etc. A real 80's rock show. These guys have been around for ages and they still seemed to like what they're doing! Respect!

Ok, maybe I will try to sleep a little, before we land.

Aki

Hi guys,

I'm enjoying my breakfast coffee and relaxing at the hotel lobby bar in St. Petersburg. The gig yesterday was great, only thing that sucked was that we were able to play only 30 min, but I think we played very well and it was great to see so many The R fans in the audience! From now on we'll play 60 min set, cause now the technical things are (hopefully) solved and we hope that A. Coopers crew will be bit faster with their sound check...We'll see...
After the gig I was watching Alice Cooper. Never saw him on the stage before, THAT was extremely entertaining! 
Ok, I think I need to leave now, the hotel restaurant is on fire, and the firemen are asking me to go out, the lobby is full of smoke, whatta????

So, time to head to Rostov...

Aki
