I go by the name “zombah” in the DJ list.

In other news, the guys keep on telling me how to improve the tracks in our upcoming vinyl, so I guess the release is again postponed. But we are still hoping to get it finally released later this year.

…and I used to think I’m the perfectionist in this band :).

Here’s a new band camp video, which - defying the rules of time and space - is actually older than the previous one. This is from last August, when we went to the Finnish countryside to record some new songs.

Älymystö has been quite quiet on the public front lately, with few gigs and major publications. This does not mean that the band is dispersing, not by any means. There is new stuff on the works, with admittedly a kind of a second album argh-gnh behind it. The web page is also going to see new stuff finally during the summer, so stay tuned.

Meanwhile, here’s the video, with one from our latest Latvia gig to come.

After a too long a pause, here’s a new Älymystö video. Last February we went to have yet another Band Camp weekend in the beautiful Finnish countryside. This time we had our new member, Herra Eskola, with us. This Band Camp was a bit different from the earlier ones. Namely, there was much more shoveling, overalls, shit and hay. Intrigued? Watch the video below.

Greetings children. We will play a live show in Dog’s Home, Tampere, 8th of this month, which happens to be next saturday. The event has free entrance so come along and get merrily wasted while wondering what does our fresh mind do on stage.

The teaser of AJ Annila’s, the director of Jade Warrior, horror film Sauna has just been released, and to accompany it, a website with a nice little text game, with the background soundscape by Älymystö (song Periplaneta A. from Atomgrad.

When it comes to band-friendly social networking sites, MySpace is no longer the only kid on the block. Facebook took up the challenge and it has opened its doors for bands, companies and so on. Both Älymystö and the splinter cell project Radiokatve can be found in Facebook from this day on. Music and video material will (maybe) follow, as soon as we find out what rights we have to give to Facebook.
