Amorphis 10.9.2010 @ Puikkari

Our week of seeing good live acts ended with Amorphis playing live in Puikkari (review and pictures of Suburban Tribe coming soon). Which meant another drive to Kuopio, but what wouldn’t we do to see Amorphis live. In fact, we were considering a crazy drive to Oulu in early August just to see them and drive back the same night to make to a dog show the next morning… This was the fourth time we’ve seen them live (Kuopio Rock 2009, Kohti rokkia 2008). I’ve shot every time, but still haven’t gone through the pictures of them playing in Kellari last November. I blame breaking my hand the next day for my procrastination ;)

Reckless Love 2.9.2010 @ Puikkari

We went to see Kuopio’s gift to glam metal Reckless Love last Thursday when they were playing in their hometown since they can’t seem to find their way 130 km east :). While waiting for the gig the venue played a good set of glam / hair metal to get the audience in a suitable mood. I have a public Spotify playlist for the same purpose.

Raskasta Joulua @ Vaakuna, Mikkeli 11.12.2009

We saw the Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) tour in Mikkeli on our way to the Winner and Nordic Winner dog shows in Helsinki. I’m just now getting around to publishing the pictures since I originally promised the promoter to wait for band approval to publishing the shots. Since I haven’t heard anything from the band in over two months, I’m going ahead and publishing them.
