We were a ‘warm up’ / ‘opener’ act tonight for a famous band from Finland who have been touring for 15 years together. Two are brothers. The music reminded me a little of the doors. Check out: Piste Pirkko. Highlights of this concert were the sound tech named Thomas, who is now an msn friend and knows how to make warm sound quickly, take tasteful liberties on reverb when inspired and is just a cool guy who has travelled with bands all over Europe. Also, the red wine we had was our favorite so far on tour (And I forgot to grab the label!! As I have started a collection of labels! Ah), and we had a long breakfast with Piste Pirkko as we were all in the same hotel, where Jason explained BC’s ice wine and they told us stories about Finland’s berries and their manic collection of them throughout the various weeks of summer. They gifted us a DVD and some CDS. Cool.
