It’s a boy!

March 16th, 2010

I am happy to announce that Ever Since The Day has adopted a healthy boy. The void left by Joni has been filled by Henri, and he too has quite big biceps. So, the rhythm duo still holds the main responsibility of the band’s physical presence. I’m not sure if Henri likes canned Elovena or uses duct tape in his ears as a fashion statement, but since he can play the drums, who cares? Stay tuned just for the sake of staying tuned!

And then there were three…

January 21st, 2010

The circle closes and the band is drummerless yet again. The coming months will tell if this is the last breath of a dying band, or a vitalizing injection fixing a temporary disability.

There was no drama involved, this was just a simple case of life getting in the way. As some of you might have read, Joni has recorded drums for what will probably become the next demo. You can follow the progress in the studio diaries in here.

Live @ Get over getting older -tour, Turku (again)

December 31st, 2009

The third gig of “Get over getting older” tour was in Turku on the second of October. Yet again a private event. I tried to get Johannes to make this journal, but he seemed really reluctant, and since I promised that all the gig journals would be done by the end of this year, it means that I don’t have that much time to make this. Luckily we bumped into Kari, who agreed to interview us. Sick, ain’t it?

Live @ Get over getting older -tour, Turku

December 18th, 2009

On se simmost,

The second leg of the “Get over getting older” -tour was in Turku on the 12th of September 2009. Again we were rolling as a trio, and had spiced up our setlist with a few carefully picked cover songs.

Live @ Get over getting older -tour, Pori

November 5th, 2009

Tuanoi yhtäkkiä,

The first leg of our “Get over getting older” -tour was in Pori on the 13th of June 2009. The tour includes a bunch of private events where we play acoustic. Though this is not a real tour in the sense that the gigs are not on consecutive days, but since all of the events have a common factor, I hereby with the power invested in me by the band will entitle this as a tour.

Live @ Rokkibaari, 2009

November 5th, 2009

The previous gig before this was in Vfest, so the circumstances were quite different compared to that. There were roughly the same amount of people in Rokkibaari as there were in Messukeskus during our set. If you’ve ever been to Rokkibaari, then you know that the place was packed.

Staying in shape

August 30th, 2009

Hello,

I thought I’d give you a status update of what we’ve been up to, since we’ve been quiet for a while. We’re heading for the fall more fit than ever: Jouni has cycled a ridiculous amount of kilometers during the summer, Johannes has been busy mountain biking and I’ve been mainly working on my biceps. Joni has taken part in some secret Navy Seals camp, top secret stuff. He actually went MIA for a while, but held his act together and will soon be a real marine. So all in all, we are more fit than ever.

We’ve talked a long time about recording acoustic versions of a few of the songs, and we decided that now would be a good time for that. We’ve actually already done most of the first song. So, if you understand Finnish and have a lot of extra time at hand (assuming you are a slow reader), just wait for the studio journals.

And oh yeah, as a friend of ours pointed out, a few gig journals are still missing. So, here and now, I promise that they’ll be published before the end of the year. I believe that is a fair deadline for us enthusiastic writers.

Later,
Kari

Live @ Vfest, 2009

May 15th, 2009

Odot vartti!

These few words will sum up a crucial part of the event. “The timetable has changed, you’ll be playing at 19:05. The doors will open at 19:00 as scheduled. And yeah, move your cars so that Apulanta’s bus gets to drive in front of the door.” And there we were standing in the snow with our amps in our hands…

Radio Rock Starba

April 30th, 2009

Well well, what do you know, yet another band contest, and yet another semifinal place for us. We’ve been selected as one of the 20 semifinalists among over 700 bands! Quoting Automatic Eye quoting OutKast: “How cool is that? Ice cold.”

5 bands will go to the finals based on the sales in Radio Rock store, so the 5 top-selling artists will sail through to the finals. Was that confusing enough…? So yes, you need to buy the song that has been available for downloading (for free, I might add) for a year now. Why? Because it makes you feel better, for the cause is good, and it could lead us to the finals. And I know you’re all eager to vote us to the finals.

Buy the song here. Clickety click.

Rokrok,
Kari

P.S. Tää on vappu!

Ever Since The Day goes Pop

March 29th, 2009

Greetings from the popland,

we’ve just released a new song, titled 362. The song was recorded during this winter, and this too was just a recording rehearsal but we decided to share it with you guys anyway. The song had a real pop edge to it already in the first place, and instead of trying to hide it, we decided to take it to the next level, and to push it through a pop-filter, so to speak. Just imagine a warm summer breeze and a holiday while listening.

We thought that this would be the perfect time to release the song, since today we turned the clocks to summer time (plus, it’s also Jouni’s name day). After all, at least here in Turku the amount of snow is probably the highest all winter. Who the hell said Greenhouse effect was a total hoax?

The song can be found from the music player. For all the lazy ones, click here. If you want to download the song, surf your way to our mikseri.net -site. Hope you enjoy!
