KOVEMPI KUIN MUUT

Ruotomieli on nelipäinen oululainen rock ́n ́roll -eliö, joka ei suostu tai onnistu kuolemaan. Yhtye on julkaissut viisi pitkäsoittoa sekä yhden EP:n. Ja se julkaissee vielä moisen liudan lisää. Jonkun täytyy määritellä suomalaisen rockin lusikkapuoli tulevaisuudessakin.

KOKOONPANO:
J. Aslak Räsänen – ääni, kitara
Kuutamo – kitara
Masa Kenttälä – basso

The Famous Nobodies Forever Almost There

Take a couple of windmilled powerchords, add the dynamics of Television and the stomp of Young with The Horse, lace the mess with supersonic pop-sophistication of The Hüskers and the musical knowledge of The Clash. Front the lot with singer-songwriter attitude not unlike Springsteen´s or Westerberg´s and you pretty much get the idea where the band is coming from. More interesting question is: where on earth are they heading?

Ruotomieli started in 1999 in Haukipudas, way out in the sticks. They were loud, musically stubborn and spiritually psychedelic from the get-go. Once the band achieved its steady position with one foot in the door and one firmly in the gutter, that´s where you´ll find them today: out in the streets trying to get in – or vice versa.

The band´s songs rave and stutter about love, hate, freedom, growing & f*cking up, need & excess, the struggle for meaningful existence in a world gone wacko, wet rock & roll dreams and the cost of all of the mentioned. Classic rock & roll topics, and those are always topical. The extra kick is the thought and effortt put into the songwriting.

For a stage act, Ruotomieli is pretty explosive one. When one is very aware of the possibility of NOT making it, NOT going all the way – whatever that means – is NOT even an option. This kamikaze-dedication to their muse comes well across in the music, especially live.

In a world that is trying its darnest to bring down rock & roll, where everyhting has a price tag on it, where TV and radio exist no more, Ruotomieli – the famous nobodies – believe the reasons to give up are wearing thin. Now, more than ever we need bands rocking for common good. This band´s racket is a means to ease the pains of this mixed-up shook-up world – theirs included.

Rock & roll is here to stay and fight for the things worth fighting for and speak the lost and nearly-forbidden language of explosive self-expression known as ROCK & ROLL.

Love music!!!!

This rancid electro-rock trio was formed in Finland 2008. G-ODD has a  unique fresh sound that penetrates your ears with its rough garage guitars and brain stimulating synthesizers that guarantee a true dance invasion on the dance floor.

The band started their journey when synthesizers, drums, edgy guitars and programming collided to the same orbit in a result of a perfect spacey synergy. By actively throwing gigs around Finland, G-ODD quickly started gaining reputation as the strange, new fat sound from the future that takes over your feet before you even realize what hit you.

G-ODD is:
Sami Keinänen – drums, percussions, drum samples, backing vocals
Pekka Tuomi – guitars, vocals, synthesizers, programming
Veera Tuomi – synthesizers, keyboards, backing vocals
