A new band performed their first ever gig during the Haninge Day on Saturday. Sverigefinnarna. Translated that would mean The Sweden Finns. They have an interesting line-up. The drummer, Harri Mänty, is the former guitarist in Sweden's most popular band over the last 15 years, Kent. The singer, Markus Fagerwall, won the Swedish version of Idol back in 2006. The bass player, Heikki Kiviaho, has worked as a producer to several big names. And he was a punk rocker back in the late 1970s in his home town of Eskilstuna. The last member of the band is his brother Hannu Kiviaho, nick named Fatboy, he is the guy with the beautiful guitar.Hannu is also a well known actor. So what did they sing about? That is a good question. The songs I heard were all in Finnish, a language I don't master at all. But it was fun to see them together on stage.

Excellent captures. The concentration really comes across in their faces.
Kanonbilder! Synd att de valt ett så smalt spår när det gäller språket i låtarna, det är inte många utanför Finland som begriper vad de sjunger om. Å andra sidan finns det ju en del texter i pop- och rockvärlden som skulle tjäna på att vara just obegripliga... ;-)
Jag stannade inte till slutet, skulle vidare till några andra musikscener så det är ju möjligt att dom ändrade språk när jag försvann!
They like black for sure. Music: the great communicator.
I know three or four Finnish words, but I am not sure I would recognize them...
Some of Aimee's favourite 'alternative' music bands are Swedish!
