Even though we had already worked with a whole lot of Swedish bands, several Danish bands and one Norwegian band, it took us quite a while till we finally caught up with a Finnish one. 22-Pistepirkko show up in Vienna and if it was not so cold, the trio would have picked Hundertwasserhaus as a backdrop for their filming session. This way the band drops by some classy café next to their hotel. Assumingly the people in the café won’t be the audience of 22-Pistepirkkos nightly show, yet an elderly lady is pleased by these charismatic musicians and starts to joke with bassist Asko Keränen. He then joins his brother P-K Keränen and their bandmate Espe Haverinen for an atmospheric performance of their new songs „UFO Girl“ and „Rodeo Heart“. However, if you are up to discover some more Finnish non-Metal bands, you will enjoy 22-Pistepirkko’s label bonvoyagerecordings.com

Top 50 12 months, because I've done Overall survey.

1.How did you get into 29? MC5
- I saw Hellacopters' live cover from YouTube (Kick Out the Jams). Or I only bought their album... but still I found MC5 via The Hellacopters, because MC5 is the influence of The Hellacopters.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? Skid Row
- Youth Gone Wild

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? The Peepshows
- I haven't listened them so much to say favorites.

4. How did you get into 49? Danko Jones
- When I had an old profile, I was surffing on Last.fm and saw their name / or there were Last.fm's recommendations, and I checked out few songs.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? Melody Club
- Two, Music Machine and Scream, need all of them!

6. What is your favorite song by 50? Deep Purple
- Child In Time or Soldier Of Fortune

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? The Real Kids
- There's no! The Real Kids is music for joy, reminds me Ramones and "softier" Stooges, not so sadly music.
