If there is more material from the event be sure we’ll let you know about them right in time . AS SOON AS THEY APPEAR THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED SO CHECK THIS ONE AND NOT FOR NEW POSTS WITH NEW MEDIA MATERIAL.

Furthermore i would like to thank you to everyone who have been visiting us and also appreciating the work we do by linking when taking something (especially in the case of translations). I have been experiencing a not so good thing, that some communities tend to take them and just copy paste without any mention of the source. I know i do now own copyrights for doing translations and either an Oscar or a Nobel Prize for doing so, but i would be grateful if as a sign of appreciation at least you would mention where from you have the translation. I considered the fact to not to do proper translations anymore, just summary…I’ve considered the fact to close down the site due to all time argues and bashings about this issue, but after all i won’t. The idea would be to SHARE with people who don’t know the Finnish language (or any other), so i will keep on posting translations until the point when i will have problems with such things again (with other communities, cause i know the one i have problem with won’t be solved).

Lauri at YleX, Radio X3M

Today Lauri been present at the two radio radio stations in Finland, YleX and the Swedish radio called Radio X3M. Here comes in a nutshell what he was talking about.

-The duet October&April was born 12 years ago at the basement of Pauli’s mother’ house at one of their rehearsals, while drinking their wines and jaming. It is a parody of boy bands. The original lyrics were others, very similar to the ones that their previous song ‘Don’t shut the door’ has.
-For their Live DVD Eero made a lot of recordings with his camera at the gigs they had and even backstage. Some Yoga friends of his were also helping him out with the recordings. Release date have not been mentioned yet.
-They are working on new songs. Lauri and Pauli are collaborating and composing melodies through Skype but they are going to meet in Singapore (Pauli’s present residence) where they will work on some more songs.
-The Best of CD was made because they have previously released already a compilation of those albums/songs that have brought them fame in Finland, and now they also wanted one with those albums/songs that brought them international success.
-Lauri’s personal favorite song from the compilation album is Immortal, because as he says it’s a great song to play it at live shows with guitars and also has a personal meaning to him.
-He is going on a small tour with PMMP to take care of his son.
-At the interview at Radio X3M Aki wasn’t present. Lauri have been asked about his absence and he said that they are great friends and buddies but this time he does not know where Aki is.

So far there are 7 pictures from the interviews, you can see them here: YleX Aamu ; Radio X3M: 1 2 3 4 5 6. Some pictures and hopefully video will be soon available on the sites of the Radio station and then we’ll post them.
