Final update (of the year, again!)

Well that was the year 2013. It was actually our busiest year so far, at least concerning concerts. After the last update, we played "Nuke" for the 4th time (hails to headliner The Grand Astoria!) and then Ravintola Caio in 8th December.

As said earlier, we surely played one new tune live a few times. And we're actually heading for the studio to record it, if possible, before the end of the year! So prepare yourselves for some bizarreness!

We're also going to publish our next gig soon. It will be very special event, I promise!

Btw, here's a collage from the "summer tour":



So have a good new year and we'll get back to you sooooon!

More gigs and stuff

So we played Ykän pub and the night was success, Talbot proved their brilliancy once again and Earthbound Machine played superb set as well! After that our trek continued to a mystical festival called Syynirock on 19th July. We had great time and apparently some people enjoyed our music and especially our special t-shirts! There's still some canvas bags left and they'll be available on our shows. Our next stop and the final gig for our "10th anniversary concert tour" is at Nuclear Nightclub on 31th July.

And lastly, the third and final cassette pressing is finally ready. It's numbered with insert and impressive 75 minutes of bonus material. It consists of DBO's remixed debut album "Red Lines Re-Entwined", original mix for the demo plus one surprise tune. You can purchase that also at our gig or via email. Price tag is 5 euros.

See you!

Gig + new material

Our next gig is at Ykän pub in Oulu 24.5. warming up the great Estonian fellows of Talbot. They play bone crushing heavy music with drums & bass. Also Earthbound Machine from Helsinki will be performing. Besides the classics we will play one brand new tune, so be sure to be there!

And what comes to our second release, the core material is already written. Now we need to practice hugely and maybe tweak some arrangements but I think we will be ready for studio by the end of summer. Or by the end of 2013, at the latest! I can reveal that there might be slight Mew influences, at least in some way. We both love that unique Danish band and have even played a bit of Introduing the Palace Players live one time.

That's it for now. Later! -Jani

Back from the silence!

Howdy there!

Been a long time. I guess we didn't make any history in year 2012 - at least with this band. But something happened, we released an EP with our other band Depth Beyond One's, Jarru moved to Tampere, we jammed a few tunes at my wedding party (drums+bass), my other band Clock Paradox released its debut album and Jarru moved back to Oulu.

And now since the whole band is in town, we can start to practice new material. I won't reveal our plans yet, but I promise it'll get interesting! We have also a gig coming in summer at the local happening called Syynirock. And 3rd cassette pressing of "sub specie aeternitatis" is almost ready. Very limited stuff! More info on that stuff here: www.dboband.com/progeiitti

Till next time

Final update! (of the year)

Well well. I don't know if anyone reads this but here we go. Many things have happened since the last entry. I'd like to sum up this fruitful year with following words:

First of all, our first gig outside Oulu since 2004 happened in Kemijärvi, at KeloStock festival July 2nd. It was a great evening and we did an ultimate die hard edition (5 copies!) of "sub specie aeternitatis" demo for that night. Besides the demo, package contained a DVD of our demo release gig "Basismin aakkoset". We also did a bunch of awesome k+k t-shirts before the gig. We'd like to thank all who bought our stuff, appreciated!

The gig went just fine and we also included a couple of new tunes in our set. The whole show can be seen here:


And here's some footage before and after the show:



Second of all, I'm so relieved that we finally got the 10" vinyl release out. The wait was long but I hope it was worth it. I think the package overall turned out quite nice with bonus cassette and all. We also did a 2nd pressing of the actual casette demo, 24 copies total. This time the cassette was white blank with both sides on both sides (does that make sense?). Anyway, I think it sounds superb on this particular format!


Third of all, a couple of new videos were released. The last video for the demo, Imperative Movement, showed the harsh reality of diy vinyl cover making. As a bonus we put out an alternative version for Tacts of Life shot with me and my little brother in a small village in the northern Finland.

Imperative Movement:


Tacts of Life (#2):



Lastly I wanna say that I'm still very happy with the demo and how it sounds. I'm also pleased how we got so understanding reviews from medias like Imperiumi and Inferno. Here's some of my favourite bits.

That's all. Hope we'll make some more history next year! Hablamos!

June update!

Tere!

Last week we had a pleasure to warp up the Nuclear Nightclub's stage for the Estonian duo of doom - Talbot. Great musicians, great company, great evening! Video material from our gig coming online sooner or later.

As for the vinyl pressing, it is finally progressing. We will have a test pressing done this week and if all goes well we'll have the whole batch done pretty soon. Cool!

Last weekend I did a music video for the song "After the Storm I Stare at the Sun" with my brother Ville and this is the result:



And here's the previous video done with Jarru, Tacts of Life:



See ya at KeloStock in Kemijärvi 2nd July!

Cheers,
Jani

Updates!

Howdy!

Here's some news from K+K camp.
First of all, we finally got the cassette released a couple of weeks ago. And they're almost sold out, thanks to you! There's still few at Levykauppax Äx for 4,90€. So go there and buy it before others!

Next on the line is the vinyl edition and that's going to be delayed at least a month due to technical problems. But sooner or later all you eight fortunate ones will have your vinyl with the magnificent bonus cassette!

Secondly, our demo release gig (and the event overall) went really well and our fellow musician Antti Karhu was awesome enough to record, film and cut the show for us. So kudos to Antti and the 2nd camera man Taneli Rantakokko! You can see the result here:




We also got the first demo review! Desibeli.net's Rami Turtinainen was gracious: http://www.desibeli.net/juttu/2255 (in Finnish).

Plans are to make a second music video soon!

P.S. There might be a gig in the northern Finland this summer.
P.P.S. We're getting one song on independent cassette compilation later this year.
