SA:On the Road:Festivals ’14:Mustakari in memories

Saturday 28.6.2014-Mustakari in Memories, Kokkola
Being that we shot a new music video for Silent Voices and took some promopics I was already in Kokkola on the morning of the show. Staying at my parents house ;-) The other guys began dropping in during the day but since we played at midnight I didn’t go to the festival site until a couple of hours before the show, which gave me the time to enjoy the Brazil-Chile match in the Soccer World Cup. After that I briefly visited Pasi’s place since he & his g/f had somekinda hoopla going on. Nice ! The show was a bit cold since the festival was by the sea but we managed to pull through somehow, it was really great to be back on stage after a few weeks off. Now we have shows every weekend until mid-August when the festival season ends for us….and then we only have one year left on the Pariah’s Child World Tour ;-). In the beginning of the show my in-ears were cracking but our monitor guy for the weekend Viltsu managed to fix it, appeareantly some of the other guys had the same problem so it was probably one of the antennas at the transmitting end that was done. The show went well after getting that sorted out. After the show I went to the hotel to sleep since it was so late there wasn’t even any energy left to party :-(  On Sunday I still spent some time at my folks place and left for home with the evening train. Next up is Ruisrock in Turku…until then…more recordings at home.

cheers,

Henkka

  2. It's nice that you watched the game. Being Brazilian I suffered a lot during that match! Are you following the World Cup? Do you like football? :)

    1. I am following the World Cup, of course I've missed a few games because of our shows but I'll try to watch as much as possible.For the most part I only watch football for a month every 4 years, the rest of the time it's about Hockey...and during our short summers I prefer to stay away from the TV as much as possible....

    2. Oh god, hopefully you didn't get to watch the game Germany-Algeria yesterday... I feel ashamed for our team. When our goalkeeper is our best and only defender and the rest of the team is just stumbling around... Ah well. It's a shame Finland doesn't participate, otherwise I would have someone else I could be rooting for.
      At least watching football is a good excuse for drinking beers :P

  4. Was it as cold as it was about two weeks ago in Finland? A friend of mine told me it was only +5 with a little bit of snow...in June?! Does that occur often? I guess it may also depend on which part of Finland you live in?
    The crackling in the ears must have been annoying. Hope it didn't hurt.

    I miss hockey already. You know, for Canadians that sport and beer are part of our religion.;-)

    1. Not really that could, snow in June is not really normal even here so we've had an interesting summer....only a couple of months until we get to enjoy more hockey ;-)

    2. This summer suuuuuuucks. I had my mom over for midsummer, sure it was gonna be sunny and warm as usual, and let me tell you, she wasn't thrilled about weather and temperatures in Italy we call "winter", lol.

      Then again winter sucked too, too warm and not enough snow so the whole year was bizarre.

  5. If you're talking about the NHL it's actually exactly 3 months away, and that's too long for me. :-p When does the Finnish hockey season start? Is it around the same time?
    Looks like the Habs are looking for a new Captain...and why am I not surprised?

    1. You get to enjoy some hockey action before I do?...not fair, haha! But at least I have your concert to look forward to. That should keep me going until then. ;-)
