Happy Halloween to those who celebrate that kind of things. Videovalvontaa participated to this Halloween/horror-themed chipmusic-comp, let´s see how that will turn out. I celebrate my Halloween with a plan to drink couple of beers and watch Dodgeball, perhaps the greatest sportsmovie ever (you know, Chuck Norris, David Hasselhoff and all..).

BTW, I just saw the coolest movie poster ever:

Wow, just wow.

BTW#2,I just realized comments werent working but now they should be ok.

We had tour gigs #2 & #3 on friday. Mission was tp destroy DigiTaika-festival at Helsinki. We took a train to Helsinki with our good buddy / visual maestro VJ Turu Sanoma. Had a short soundcheck and some usual problems (this time with video equipment) at Lasipalatsi. Soundguy was supercool and nice to us, as was everyone else at the Festival. We had quick beer-break and played a 40min. set to people on the street. There were some fans who brought us some chocolate pizza (yes, there is chocopizza, apparently!). Some people were pretty confused about our set but there were also some people dancing!

After that we packed our equipment and headed to Gloria for the second set. Had a quick soundcheck and NO beerbreak! There were couple of other artists also playing at the opening seremonies + some old dudes speaking about virtual reality and stuff like that. We took the stage at the end of the seremony and rocked for solid 8 minutes or so (Doomtrain, Murkil vs. Clown Extra and Flesh Prince Of Bel Air). VJ Turu Sanoma had some great visuals again:

We answered some questions after the gig and met a totally cool lady who apparently had become a fan of our music during the week. Cool. We also forgot that there were radio interview to do, sorry about that!

After that we took a train back to Turku and had a great time:

More pics and some videos (all shot by Aleksi Hyvönen) from this trippy trip coming soon!!

Allright boys and girls, Videovalvontaa Fallout Gameboys Megaminitour has started!

Our first gig for the “tour” was at Taideakatemian Yö, one night festival that celebrated our hometowns art school.. we arrived to place and everything was little bit sketchy, as always. After about one hour of desperation, couple of beers and some problems with having proper power supply we got the ball running. Videovalvontaa Big Band rumbled on the stage.

We had total juggernaut of a band, Videovalvontaa+Fossa Douglasi + Kahdeksas Matkustaja (a.k.a Kasi a.k.a. 8th Passenger)+ VJ Turu Sanoma. Our jam-based session was a total blast to play, hope somebody on the audience liked it as well. All the material was new, including some reggae, turkish techno, loveboatesque stuff and marchmusic. Oh and we played asskicking new version of Murkil Vs. Clown Extra too. Shame I forgot to record this shit on my mp3-player. All in all it was a good start to this tour, even if I did fuck up with my new synth couple of times.

I try to update this daily now on for the whole tour

cheers,
