There’s a new 1-hour interview with Marko in which, among many other things, he talks about that whenever people from overseas ask a band to play in their country, it’s important to keep in mind how costly that is (in general, not just for them). Band members and everyone else involved in a tour need to be paid, and then there’s hotel rooms for everyone, visas, flights, fees for excess baggage, cargo, the rent for tour bus and vans, etc etc … which amounts to tens of thousands of dollars. I’m sure they’d love to bring their positive energy to every corner in the world if they could, but being an independent band, there’s only so much money you can spend, especially when you don’t want to charge ridiculously high ticket prices. Yet I think we all appreciate their decision to remain independent, and prefer their amazing music on channels like youtube to mainstream songs played live on an overseas tour. 😊 And in fact they did play in the US in the past, twice if I remember correctly, the last time being Prog Power Festival in 2019. They just never did a whole tour, you’re right about that. Here’s the interview, if you like (in Finnish, there’s a translation in English though if you scroll waaay down): www.drumroutines.com/podcasts/jutunjuuri/episodes/2148568519 Thank you for this wonderful reaction, I agree wholeheartedly that it’s always a pleasure listening to them and YOU reacting to them. 😊🙏

Exactly me thoughts - such fulness with just vocals, 2 guitars and a bass! And the swtich from chest voice to falsetto with this amazing ease, it is incredible!

Hate when magic meatballs get salty, especially when they remind me that I am getting old. 🎱. Marko’s voice and lyrics, and the band’s music seems to working any configuration or setting. And they make me feel so many of their songs feel personal to me. I thought musicians always could get F. 🤷🏻♂️ Love this band. Love you guys!
