It is humppa time again
Would you like to have some humppa?
After 2 weeks of rest and recovery it is time to scream some humppa again. The first few drinks we take in Finland (Helsinki & Kerava) and on friday its time to hit Germany again for some special gigs. Video shows some nice action from Munich.
The Karlsruhe gig was set up already one year ago and it will be our 10th gig in Karlsruhe, 9th gig at Substage and also the farewell for the old Substage venue. We are proud to be one of the last bands playing there. Because of the special event there will be nice 9 € and 10 € special offers at our humppa shop there.
Wiesbaden cocert will be carefully photographed. There will be 4 students making a photo project of concert photography and as far as we know a few of our trusted photographers doing stage photos during the show. So please keep smiling over there!
In Hamburg we play the new show because the 16.4. gig was cancelled. Almost 700 tickets are sold already. Thank you for waiting us:) Show time at Markthalle is 20.00.
HELP! Transportation help needed. If someone is driving from gig to gig in Germany we need some help with our gear and merchandise. We have small car and the stuff might not fit in. Free tickets and stuff for the helpers. Please contact Pekka at the venue or before by e-mail indiefilms (at) indiefilms.fi

Hamburg gig cancelled
Helsinki airport is closed and nothing can be done. No way to get to Hamburg in time. The band will come to Germany by car+ferry+train (or car) via Sweden and Denmark and the guys from Joensuu are already on the road to catch the morning ferry from Turku to Stockholm. See you in Hannover. We try to make new concert in Hamburg as soon as we can.

Volcano dust cancels flights – humppa info
If the flights from Helsinki to Berlin are cancelled tomorrow 16.4. We seek for other flights but lets hope for the best. The information about the situation is fastest at Facebook and Twitter and will also be updated here as soon as possible. At the worst case… lets not think about that.

Our ESC 2010 rally is over:)
Eläkeläiset ended up to be one of the three participants on the super finals at the Finnish ESC contest and ended up to be the third. Thank you for all supporters, support groups and voters. Instead of five handsome men Finnish voters decided to send two charming ladies to Oslo. With accordion on stage and a song with nice humppa rhythm. All ten thumbs up for Kuunkuiskaajat from the band and a lot more from the crew.
Enjoy the two final performances on the same YouTube clip:
To support humppa Polish Humppa Team made a hilarious translation of our song Hulluna humpasta. Vocals have been recorded in one take, with one microphone for everyone and no overdubs. Ashka made the video. Priceless!
Enjoy Przed granicą weź w baniaque! (YouTube link) and keep on humppa!
Added 4.1.2010: Moods during final days was followed by Ajankohtainen kakkonen. All in Finnish. (YouTube link)
