Timo Kaukolampi (vocals, bass), Mikko “Vilunki 3000” Viljakainen (keyboards), Mikko “Larry Acoustic guitar” Oksa (acoustic guitar), and Hannu Anttilainen (drums) shipped a raw, dynamic audio, and their occasionally bizarre live units brought them a status like a must-see take action every time they invaded concert locations in Finland, and finally in the others of northern European countries.
