Asenne Esiin!

Lauri have played yesterday for PMMP their song called Pikkuveli and also followed on acustic guitar one of the heavier songs called Mummola. Thanks to Oana, here you can see the video of Lauri performing Pikkuveli .

As promised (sorry a little later) here it is about what Lauri have been talking about in the Radio Helsinki Interview on 31.01.
-He have been on a holiday with his family in Thailand.
-They are now working on their new album on their own, without producers and yet without record label (as their contract with Playground Music Scandinavia expired), and they are testing their skills.
-He was asked if the new material will bring any new stuff to the fans. He said that he have been recently listening to a lot of electro music, and that those might have some effect on the stuff they will do, but it will still sound like Rasmus.
-They will be making now their album, and do some festivals as well. They hope they can release the album by autumn, but nothing is sure yet.
-They have started studio work starting with 1st February and they hope they can come up with some surprises soon.
-He have been also talking about Dynasty, that it is not the easiest thing ever to manage a record company but they are doing it fine, and it’s always good to see new artists coming up in the spotlight.

As mentioned yesterday Eero was at the “Finnish Grammy” Gala, the EMMA Gaala yesterday and he have also gave interviews about what The Rasmus is doing at the moment. Here you can find one of them made by Voice TV. He told that they will play several summer festivals this year even though they are pretty busy now with doing the new album. One of the festivals they will be playing at will be in Turku at the Vesa Keskus celebrations. Furthermore, they had band-rehearsals this Monday and Lauri have already been recording voice for 6 songs. Eero thinks that the album is about half done, and he believes it will be released around autumn, but nothing is sure yet.
