Joy-Joy

We have a band! It's Joy-Joy!

We started making music together in the fall of 2010. Back then we just got together sometimes and played and we didn't even know each other very well. But now we have developed our own thing. We have so much fun together, I can't ever wait for the next band practice!

We make our own music. At the moment I have written all the lyrics. The songs are about love, loneliness, dreams, life, this world... and they're mostly inspired by my experiences and things happening around. About the music. It is amazing how in a band every person and instrument plays a part, and together it sounds incredible.

We play rock music. It's a bit like pop-rock, I'm not sure if there is a niche for the songs we write. But anyway, we're a rock band! Whoooo!

So, by now we have practiced enough to play... and we are having our first gig on April 18th - in just a couple of weeks! :D I'm so excited! I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile check out our facebook page.

Joy-Joy!

Winter turning into spring slooowly

Hey there! What's up?

I think I just woke up from hibernation. As you might have an idea, it's really dark in Finland in the winter. The sky is pitch black most of the day and night, and when it's 'light' it's still not very bright outside. You might not see the sun in ages because the sky is usually cloudy. So what you see is: everything dark in the morning when you wake up, around noon behind the light gray clouds in the sky a weird spot of light remotely resembling something you remember being called the sun, in the afternoon dark again, and in the evening - well - you can guess.

So I consider it well justified to blame the nature for my lack of energy and enthusiasm.

But now it all has changed! As we roam this northern land in the darkness, day starts slowly sneaking back into our lives and gets longer bit by bit every day. You might not see the gradual change, but suddenly it hits you! It's already light before 8 in the morning! And today I realized it was still not pitch black at 7 pm!

Soon it will be light all the time. But that is what I need. And I'm glad I'm getting it! :D
