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.

Eye contact

I’ve been shooting some bands that I like several times now and the artists clearly recognize me in the audience.…

Tarot @ Kellari 16.4.2010

Anna and I got to spend the eve / early hours of our wedding anniversary by seeing Tarot play. It was our fourth time of seeing Marco on Tuple on stage in a year – not that we mind :). They were on tour promoting their latest album and Joensuu was the second to last night of the mini-tour. And it showed – in a good way.

Viikate @ Kellari 14.11.2009

A couple of weeks ago Kellari had six bands performing during a mini-festival. We only went there to see two: Viikate and Amorphis (post and pictures coming later). The other bands weren’t that interesting and since they were using two stages it would have meant risking front row places if we’d seen some of the other bands.
