Description

The monumental honor of being the last band to play a full set on the upper floor of the ever so fantastic Swengi bar, the beloved stage of so very many unforgettable and legendary gigs of the past, was reserved for these five finnish hillbillies who - to the best of my knowledge - actually rose to a bit of an internet fame with their witty bluegrass rendition of Iron Maiden's flashy hit song The Trooper.

I have to compliment on a wonderful choice of orchestra to close up the circle - instead of wrapping things up with a woefully sour feelings, it's always considerably more delightful to bring something to an inescapable end with a high and a positive note.

Here's the jingle that's been sweeping up the viral world like a storm. While I have nothing to complain about as far as the musicians are concerned, the way this particular clip goes, we all know who we all still owe our most sincerest thanks - of course, to the awesome dancing department, who else?

The band is obviously concentrating on the their instruments and the providing of music. As a natural result, they tend to stay pretty immobile. It's up to these two marvellous chaps to make this video an interesting and entertaining watch also from a visual perspective and the duo does deliver! You can't see me right now, but I'm tipping my hat to the pair right now.
