Winter in Finland

Says it was -22.5c. You can drive a nail with a banana in the temp. True, I have tried.

Leningrad Cowboys

Is so far one of the favorite bands ever. And possibly the BEST cover band I know...They make my heart dance. The band was an invention of the Finnish film director Aki Kaurismäki, It was featured in a few films as a fictional band. However, was made up of Sakke Järvenpää and Mato Valtonen, members of a real Finnish band the Sleepy Sleepers with some additional musicians.

Hevisaurus

Hevisaurus is a Finnish heavy-metal band for kids.


In case you are wondering how they play instruments with those thick dinosaur hands, they wear nothing on their hands if it is live performance, by the way.

I was hired to wear a full panda suit for a Halloween party once. It was extremely hot and hard to see , even breathe but I still had to jump around for kids. I lost about 5 pounds with sweat in 2 hours and very disoriented toward the end.

I don't know how those guys keep up. You have to be real tough to be a hip heavy metal dinosaur, I guess. They rock better than Metallica in my opinion.
