It's safe to say that the guys from Flat Earth have well earned their laurels. A new Finnish rock band, fresh from the oven, consists of musicians Mika “Gas Lipstick” Karppinen and Mikko “Linde” Lindström of HIM, ex-Amorhpis bassist Niclas Etelävuori and vocalist Anttoni “Anthony” Pikkarainen of Polanski. There's no need to hold back the reins in this rock'n'roll rodeo.
Flat Earth describes their music as a melodic and playful, but also melancholic alternative rock, flavoured with some good old fashioned psychedelia and elements from the heavier side of music. The band is currently working on their first album in the legendary Finnvox studio. With their credentials, the audience is definitely in for some high-quality hard rock. Furthermore, their performance at the Ilosaarirock Festival will be their first ever live gig, so there is special buzz in the air!
