Machine Men ja muutakin

Earthshaker Roadshock Tour 2007 has been cancelled. At the moment Machine Men are flying back home to Finland. Possibly Tarot and Finntroll are on the same plane. The tour seems to have been quite a disaster. Earlier I've written very little about it: "Everything seems to be going on pretty well..." etc. Already very early on I did hear of the problems... But the gigs seemed to be going on quite ok. Music was good and fans liked the shows alot. Weird things happened. Much of the management seems to have been lousy - mildly said. After Forever wrote a simple and good little article of what went wrong. Apokalyptische Reiter has written lenghtly on the day-by-day basis of what really happened. All in all really frustratingly sad for all the bands and fans.

Some good things for the day though - I recorded percussions to my song Toivomus (= A wish). Two lines of them. Now only bass, Sini's singing and one solo instument - possibly J-V's guitar - are missing.

Now might be the time to begin to listen to all new Rush album - Snakes & Arrows.
