It's been a while.. Sorry about the silence in here!

First, we could go back in time to last weekend when we were in Sweden. We were supposed to have three shows in Sweden. We had been waitin' for that tour for ages.. Because the last time in Stockholm was a disaster. And so was this going to be too...

We had one gig in Stockholm, in the Anchor club. Enni was already reeeeeaaaallllyyy sick/ill, and that combined with an awesome and energetic show, she lost her voice. The day after that we went to see a doctor, and it turned out that Enni had a laryngitis.. And she couldn't use her voice for 10 days. We had to cancel those two other shows in Sweden. What was a really big disappointment... We were supposed to do some interviews too. But we had no other choice, but to go back home.

We have to thank our tour manager Anna for her help and kindness. She was awesome!

BUT NOW. We are heading to Germany! Deutschland, hier kommen wir! Yes, we have studied the language for a couple of years.. Now we are in a boat to Rostock and we have our hopes on. Enni is much better and her voice is back. She's got a little flu but who doesn't at this time of year..? This boat trip takes about 28 hours. We have 6 hours left. Riina is now in Hamburg, she's waiting for us to pick her up. I'm a bit confused of all the places we are going to go but i'm SOOOO EXCITED!! And we have a few days off in Berlin so i'm gonna shop till I drop... Hehhhahh.

This boat is shit. I can't buy anything with my Visa Electron here... Me and Enni are getting hungry. But I slept like a baby! I can't remember the last time that I have slept over 12 hours. I woke up once in the night cause we were in a storm and the boat was swinging like hell. I thought i was drunk... Soon we are going to eat supper in the buffet. I recently heard the story behind the name Buffet and I was amused. But that some other time. Now I'm going to continue to........ ööö.... sit?

BYE.

I WANNA GO WHERE THE PEOPLE GO

Hey guys! And greetings from hot hot Finland! I woke up before 8 am and did some paper work. Quite rock'n'roll, I know :D Well, tomorrow we hit the road again and start our summer tour 2010. First we head to Vekaranjärvi. We perform at Karelia Brigade to almost 2000 soldiers. It's their last day at the service and I think it'll be great fun! After the gig we will drive back to Helsinki and spend one day off :) On friday we're going to Finn Hits-festival at Pori and on saturday Stalingrad Cowgirls are rocking at Aitoon Kirkastusjuhlat.

See ya on gigs!

Love and peace,

Stalingrad Cowgirls

HEY YOU (keep on knocking) !

Alright. So our album "Kiss Your Heart Goodbye" has been released in Finland about a month ago. We hope that it'll be released evrrrywhere and SOON. But I guess we gotta wait. That's stupid, 'cause we have so many fans all over the Europe, Asia, all over the world actually. But hey, just a little patience. (Great song by the way)

So, we did China. All I can say is: WOW. We did there only two shows though we were supposed to do four. Our local promoter disappeared (no one knows where he is, hope he's alright) and those two gigs in Shanghai and Wuhan were cancelled. Well, that's okay because our gigs in Beijing were awesome. First we played at MIDI Festival and ohmygod the crowd was so great. We enjoyed each and every second of our show that night, all because of thousands of chinese people rocking and having fun with us. And it was so great to fly from cold Finland to Beijing and notice that wow it's summer it's summer yeah ! Next day we did a show in a club called Yu Gong Yi Shan. The place was great and our show was energetic, as usual. We were reeeallly nervous before the show but the audience was great - again. And because of the two cancelled shows, we had few days off for some tourist stuff. We did some shopping, visited the Forbidden City and of course the Great Wall of China. And ate some delicious food. Henna thinks that she ate a bat. Well, it definately looked like one. But when we had our lovely host Lea with us, telling what we really should eat, the food was amazing.

So, thank you China! We will definately come back, hope to see you soon!

Now we've been playing some gigs in Finland, not many because we still have our "normal jobs". I'm gonna be "free" in few weeks. I've been working in a school I've been studying for six years. Now I'm spending my seventh year there, but now I've been actually a teacher. I've been teaching music in junior highschool. And highschool. It's funny, because my youngest students have been only six years younger than me and the oldest have been only two years younger than me. But it's been such a great ride. Lots of stress, lots of tears, lots of laugh, lots of fun. And in couple of weeks I'm gonna move in Helsinki.

Henna lives in Helsinki at the moment, she's been working in different places. Now she's doing something in kindergarten - occasionally. Riina is living in Tampere and I guess she's going to continue her studying or something.

Yayayay, anyway. It's summer time !

Hope to see you guys soon, somewhere!

And hey our music video of Baby Girl is now on youtube,

O HAI everybody!
I guess it's time for us to write something in English, something also for our english speaking fans! We've had our blog (in Finnish) for a while and we've been just writing down some thoughts of making KISS YOUR HEART GOODBYE -record and yes, finally, it's gonna be released in Finland in May, 5.5.2010! It's been two years since we started making this records and for the people who don't know, it's our second album. Our first record "Somewhere High" was released in Finland September 2007 and if I'm right, it's out in stores also in Sweden and Norway. Actually, our plan is to release this second album also in Sweden and Norway and Japan also. As many countries as possible.

Even though it took "a while" to make this KYHGB -album, it was real fun. Our producer, Jyrki Tuovinen, was the best you can get and, what's most important, he survived alive. Making a record for two years with us can be really stressing, but he took it well. And he made it sound awesome, we just can not wait to get it out. Finally! There are ten songs on the record and the song list looks like this:

IT'S NOT OVER
BABY GIRL (the first single, already been released in Finland and some radios are actually playing it - cool)
I REMEMBER
911
FRIDAY NIGHT (a cover song taken from a finnish ramopunk band called "REHTORIT". the original song is called "Perjantain ja maanantain välinen yö", it can be found from youtube. Checkitout!)
KILL ME
FOOL
BAD LUCK
NOT OK
RIDE WITH ME

Last weekend we were in Helsinki shooting our second music video ever, the first one was made from the first single (from the first album) "You Won't Get It". We made the video for this Baby Girl single now. it's not gonna be the last single, or the last video of this album, we are actually gonna shoot another video quite soon. Baby Girl -video is gonna be interesting. Of course we are also playing in that video, but there's a lot more cool stuff going on. I can tell you, I'm all bruised and I think my arm is broken and when I walk, I look like I'm a duck. Yes. All because of this video, quite rough session, I gotta admit.

In a couple of weeks we are heading for China for a mini tour, gonna play some festivals there. Shanghai, Peking and other cooooool places, just can't wait for it. Next summer we are going to tour a lot, as much as possible. First we are going to do some Finland cases, like summer festivals and so on and then hopefully we could go to Japan, Skandinavia, Europe... We don't know for sure yet, but hopefully it's gonna work out.

But hey, I guess I don't have anything special to say,
but GOODNIGHT SLEEP TIGHT n stuff.

Hope to see you all soon!
