Finnish acts at Great Escape 2007
Rubik (Fullsteam Records)
“Rubik are friggin’ awesome. They sound like a mixture of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Jeff Buckley’s band, and maybe a bit of Sigur Rós thrown in there too.” - Music Week
- VENUES & TIMES: Thursday May 17 at 7:30pm @ Ocean Rooms upstairs Friday May 18 at 7:15pm @ The Arc
Magenta Skycode (Solina Records)
“Their catchy pop songs with well utilized synths, vocals, guitars, and percussion, are one of the catchiest and freshest sounds to emerge this year.” - Obscure Sound
- VENUES & TIMES: Thursday May 17 at 7:45pm @ The Gloucester Friday May 18 at 8:15pm @ Ocean Rooms downstairs
Eternal Erection (Eat This Music)
“I think Eternal Erection are a great funk band. Their Live shows are more like AN EVENT, as opposed to “just a gig” and that’s what the showbusiness is really all about.” -Michael Monroe / Hanoi Rocks
- TIMES & VENUES: On top of the Funky Bus (outside Queens Hotel) Thursday May 17 & 18 at 4:00pm Friday May 19 at 6:00pm Thursday May 17 at 7:15pm @ Club Revenge
