klo 20.45 – 21.45 Max on the Rox
A shared love for blues rock gives a rise to a band where every player has free space to make their own decisions in the band but everyone plays with one heartbeat. Mutual harmony is what they are looking for. The band wants to leave the listener with a good feeling.
Born and living in western Finland ’Finnish-Texas’ Vaasa, Max, Markku and Riku are always looking for the right route together to get the band and audience in a good mood during live gigs, and the same thing is repeated on the records. Max’s great great grandfather was a shaman in northern Finland and he cured the sick and made people feel good. Now is Max’s time time to do his work.
He completes the basics of the songs, recording them for the band members to listen to. Writes texts which he usually sees as short films. At first singing a demo song and later transforms that mumbo-jumbo into the actual text. Together they conjure the mess of emotions to life and make it everybody to listen and feel.
Max beat his guitar strings so that it sounds like a living animal and sings the lyrics in his rough voice so you might see what is in his mind. Markku looks for solid bass lines which you can feel in your guts and Riku finds a grooving drumbeat which is following the whole song and give it it’s heartbeat. That beat the audience can follow to feel good and forget all the sorrow at least for a while.
The band often goes to jamming the songs following the audience’s reactions to share their good feeling with everybody who needs healing. So live music to a live audience is what the band is always looking for. Max on the Rox since 1997.

klo 22.00 – 23.00 Eld
Eld is a five-piece rock band originating from Vaasa, Finland, Earth. Eld mixes the grungy sounds and vibes of the nineties with fuzzy riffs and energetic rhythms. Lead singer Zeta is Finland’s answer to Iggy Pop with his raspy voice, ingenious lyrics and raunchy live moves. Lead guitarist Space Jam Joel brings stoner riffs and eclectic solos to the table, while guitarist Jessy Jetpack lasers in on heavy and fast rhythms as well as punky back-up vocals. Bassist Jupiter Jim Justice is the soul of the group with his thick and nuanced bass lines. Drummer Fishy Fishy completes the band with hard hitting fills and catchy rhythms. Eld aims at telling the truth to all of humanity with the help of subliminal messages delivered at the speed of sound through catchy, fuzzy, punchy, high-energy rock n’ roll!
