Happy Halloween!


Look at that: This year, I even manage to write a Halloween post, despite all the work I have at the moment... ;o) Although I must admit that Halloween 2013 was way more stressful than Halloween 2014 could ever be. The muffins you see in the picture above were baked by me for a Halloween party which was held last year here in Turku / Finland and entirely planned, organised and accomplished by my humble self. Due to that Halloween party and me being the event manager of that Halloween party, there was no opportunity to go to any gigs. Then again, the year before, in 2012, we visited more than one Halloween event... 

First, we went to the Halloween show of The 69 Eyes and Baby Jane at "Klubi" here in Turku... 


... and then we jumped on the boat to Stockholm / Sweden in order to attend the fabulous "Berliner Nacht's Halloween" party at "Kolingsborg", presented by the one and only Damón Zurawski (The Catastrophe Orchestra) and featuring amongst others Deathstars' Skinny Disco as Osama bin Laden... 


 
Also Halloween 2011 was full of events. That full that it wasn't even possible to write reviews about all of those I attended that year. At least I could eternalise the unforgettable "Zombie Love Club Halloween Party" with Velvet Six, Lucky Hell and DJ Jyrki69 (The 69 Eyes) in a LIVE review, even in German... 


Halloween 2014 will probably be less spectacular as there aren't any gigs we will go to this year. Our schedules are in fact that full that I rather started to plan New Year's Eve. If you have any suggestions regarding interesting events on New Year's Eve, feel free to share them here in a comment...

Drum clinic with Stratovarius' Rolf Pilve at Turku Rock Academy

The work never stops, and so I had to rush to "Vimma" (Turku Rock Academy) last Wednesday (22nd October 2014) in order to attend the drum clinic with Stratovarius drummer Rolf Pilve...  


I don't want to reveal too much about it yet since there is a LIVE review on the way, but here is already an audiovisual impression of the drum clinic... Enjoy!
