Michael Monroe, who turned 60 in June, will celebrate the milestone with a bang at the Helsinki Ice Hall on September 23rd. Now Monroe reveals the big news: as the Grand Finale of the concert, the original line-up of Hanoi Rocks, one of Finland's most significant rock bands of all time, will take the stage: Michael Monroe, Andy McCoy, Sami Yaffa, Nasty Suicide and Gyp Casino. The quintet, who started a historic chapter in the world's music scene, was seen on stage for the last time at Helsinki's Tavastia on July 27th, 1982. Internationally acclaimed throughout their career, Hanoi Rocks has had a great impact on the history of rock. Several international bands, such as Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses and Skid Row, acknowledge the influence of Hanoi Rocks and hold the band in very high regard. For decades there has been an endless amount of requests to reform the original line-up and for the legendary band to perform live. An idea that has previously seemed impossible, is now becoming a reality at Monroe’s 60th anniversary concert. "This is the only appropriate time and place for all five original members of Hanoi Rocks to get on stage to play together after a break of over forty years,” begins Michael. “This is not a Hanoi Rocks re-union, but a unique part of the anniversary concert. At first I planned to keep it a surprise but after giving it some more thought, I realised that it wouldn't be fair, especially to the fans, not to make this public in advance and that everybody should have the chance to be there." Michael Monroe and Andy McCoy founded Hanoi Rocks in the late 1970’s and the band's original line-up was established in 1980. Hanoi Rocks, the first Finnish rock band to make an international breakthrough, recorded their first three albums with the original line-up: Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks (1981), Oriental Beat (1982) and Self Destruction Blues (1982). Gyp Casino was replaced in 1982 by Nicholas "Razzle” Dingley who became an integral member of Hanoi Rocks. Razzle died in a tragic accident in 1984. Unfortunately this led to the band’s untimely demise in early 1985. Another big surprise for the unique 60th anniversary concert is that the ”support band” for the show will be the legendary Demolition 23 reunited. Led by Monroe, the band rose to great cult fame, although they only released one album (Demolition 23.) in 1994 and broke up shortly afterwards. This is the first performance of the band since the band's breakup in 1995. At the 60th anniversary show, Monroe is mostly accompanied by his long-time band Sami Yaffa, Karl Rockfist, Rich Jones and Steve Conte. In addition to the original Hanoi Rocks lineup and Demolition 23, several top musicians and artists who have collaborated with Monroe over the years will take the stage. The almost three-hour long concert allows fans to hear many Michael Monroe classics throughout evening. To top the event, the lights and visuals are designed by the internationally acclaimed, world-wide phenomenon, Mikki Kunttu.

Jo yli 10 vuotta suomiräpin eturivissä viihtyneen Asteen tänä vuonna ensimmäisen kerran järjestetty Headland-festivaali saa jatkoa myös ensi vuonna. Kaksipäiväisenä musiikkifestivaalina Lahden Niemen satamassa järjestettävää Headlandia vietetään pe 29.7 - la 30.7.2022. Asteen lisäksi festareilla esiintyvät mm.

Tämänvuotinen festivaali oli menestys koronapandemian asettamista haasteista huolimatta ja ensi vuodesta tulee vieläkin isompi: ”Tehtiin hommia ensimmäisen Headlandin eteen pari vuotta, ja kun viime kesänä näki tuhannet ihmiset viihtymässä Lahden tunnelmallisessa Niemen rannassa, tuli heti fiilis että hyvin alkanutta matkaa täytyy jatkaa. Ensi vuonna mennään entistäkin isommin! Tervetuloa nauttimaan!” Aste kertoo. Asteen keikkamyynnistä vastaa jatkossa Live Nation Finlandin Elsa de Campos. Asteen palo keikoille on koronan aiheuttaman parin vuoden tauon aikana vain lisääntynyt: ”Kun keikat on ollut viime aikoina vähissä, mulle on tullut ihan uusi arvostus esiintymistä kohtaan ja oon vasta nyt tajunnut miten paljon keikat merkitsee mulle. Kun päästiin vetämään tän vuoden Headlandissa lauantai-illan päätteeksi uudella bändillä keikka, muistui taas mieleen kuinka siistiä se voikaan olla.” Aste on julkaissut yli kymmenvuotisella urallaan seitsemän albumia ja ollut kolme kertaa Emma-ehdokkaana. Asteen kappaleita on kuunneltu suoratoistopalveluista yli 85 miljoonaa kertaa. Asteen tunnetuimpia hittejä ovat ”Monaco”, ”Spaceman”, ”Himalaja”, ”Ötökkä myrskyssä feat.

Kuuntele Polttomerkki nyt: https://lnk.to/Polttomerkki Hurmaava laulaja-lauluntekijä Titta julkaisee tänään perjantaina 3.11. uuden singlen Polttomerkki. Menevä pop-kappale kertoo rumasta erosta, jossa kyynelten ja sydänsurujen sijaan annetaan palaa oikein kirjaimellisesti, kun törkeästi käyttäytyneen exän auto päätyy kostossa ilmiliekkeihin. “Polttomerkki on passiivis-aggressiivinen erolaulu, joka kuvailee erotilanteissa pintaan nousevia inhimillisiä tunteita. Koston himo, viha ja “mikään ei enää hetkauta” -fiilis ovat varmasti tuttuja kaikille jotka ovat joskus joutuneet yllättäen jätetyksi” Titta kuvailee uutta sinkkua. “Mutta vaikka olisit kuinka vihainen, niin litsari on aina väärin. Suutele sitä dorkaa niin jätät itsestäs makeen muiston. Ja sen jälkeen pidät tietysti erobileet!” Titta nauraa. Polttomerkki-sinkun takaa löytyy tuttuun tapaan kovassa nosteessa oleva tuottaja Niko Lith. Kappaleen sanoituksesta vastaa Titta itse yhdessä muun työryhmän kanssa. Jonkin aikaa julkaisua odottaneen biisin on saattanut kuulla Titan keikoilla jo ennakkoon. Se on ehdottomasti kappale, joka sytyttää yleisön villeimpään tanssiin kerta toisensa jälkeen. “Joka kerta kun Polttomerkki soi jengi on välittömästi liekeissä. Se on niin upeeta nähdä, ja juurikin se syy miksi tätä työtä teen” Titta kertoo. Titan loppuvuoden suunnitelmat keskittyvät uusien biisien hiomiseen keikkailua unohtamatta. https://www.facebook.com/tittavirallinen/ https://www.instagram.com/titta_official/ Big news as the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest is taking shape.

Kohti Tuhoa's 2015-issued debut LP, Rutiinin Orja,was considered by many as the most exciting hardcore punk record out of Scandinavia in ages. Their sophomore album, Pelon Neljäs Valtakunta is constructed from similar building blocks of aggression aimed at sociopolitical injustice, but with the band's sound taking a step further towards genre classicists such as Discharge and Disorder, not to mention classic Finnish hardcore-punk acts such as Terveet Kädet, Varaus, and Riistetyt. Recorded in May 2017 at V.R. Studio in Turku, Finland, Pelon Neljäs Valtakunta was engineered by Jussi Vuola, mixed by Jussi Vuola and Kohti Tuhoa, mastered and cut by Jukka Sarapää at Timmion Cutting, and finalized with artwork by returning artist Jaakko Karjula. The album crushes 12 relentless tracks in 20 minutes, including a cover of "Saatanan Lampaat" by Painajainen.
