Yesterday night the alternative rock band
Face of God was opening the show on Tavastia´s stage as warm up band for HIM.
HIM is one of Finland´s famous bands abroad, this attracted an very international audience to the start of the Helldone Festival 2012. Face of God played for 45
min with lot of fun on the stage and the audience seems to like it. It was a
big honour for the alternative rock band to open up the festival and they were
really proud to be supporting act of HIM. Benjamin, Oscar and Leo appreciate
HIM a lot.For a warm up band Face of God was
brilliant. They showed up on Tavastia´s stage and succeeded in it. Lot of songs with a fast
tempo speeded up the start, a bit slower in the middle and continue with a
fast tempo in the end was a perfect strategy from the trio. A very good song collection to show the best of Face of God in just 45 min. They looked very good on Tavastia stage as they
would belong there already since years. A
perfect start of the Helldone Festival, just HIM struggled a bit. After the HIM
show a lot of disappointed faces could be found in the audience, people
expected more or maybe too much of their favourite band. A come back is always hard for a band and
there are still a few other nights left where HIM has the possibility to show
what they really can do, but yesterday they had a hard time to engage the audience.
Face of God´s show on the other hand couldn´t work out better. A very great sound and Leo could engage the
hungry waiting HIM fans to celebrate with him. Positive feedback was given also
by the organizer of the Helldone Festival to the band. They were really happy
that everything went so smoothly and Face of God played after schedule and they
got described as a really easy going band, no star attitude. The guys also
cared a lot about their fans and came outside the backstage after the gig to
talk to the audience and to collect more fans as friends. A lot of interviews happened
today the day after the Helldone opening. Interviewers described the band as very
friendly, happy and open for anything. For Face of God a great contact to their fans is very important and they appreciate people that like their music a lot.
Helldone was a perfect start for the young dynamic alternative rock band and we
will follow the success story....More soon...
Benjamin Lehti the bassist of Face of God and Leo Stillman the front man gave a few interviews in the last couple of days to different music blogs and online magazines that showed an interest into the music of the band and the news that the alternative rock trio got chosen to the Helldone festival 2012 in Helsinki, Finland.

FACE
OF GOD is an alternative rock band from Helsinki, Finland. The trio performed
more than 130 gigs in Finland in less than 2 years. From the cellars of
Helsinki they will show up at 28.12.2012 on the Helldone stage in Tavastia.
Ville Valo the singer of the love metal band HIM, who is organizing the
Helldone festival over New Year’s, chose FACE OF GOD as one of the first bands
to Helldone. Silke Yli-Sirniö, HIM`s promoter was convinced and impressed from
FACE OF GOD´s talent and recommend the rock trio to Ville.
Helldone
is a festival that is staged almost every year in the heart of Helsinki in
Tavastia, the most famous rock club. International audience is expected, people
from around the globe are traveling just for that specific event to Helsinki. A
New year’s festival with great acts is coming up. Together with FACE OF GOD
also other talented bands are supporting HIM: THE SKREPPERS, HELSINKI VAMPIRE
CLUB by DJ JYRKI69 and FINAL ASSAULT.
The
ticket sale of the festival is already over. On the 24th of
September the Helldone tickets sold out for all 4 days in less than 15 minutes.
Especially for FACE OF GOD it is a big honor to play first time on Tavastia´s
stage and that in front of a full house. “I still cannot believe that Ville
Valo chose us” says Leo Stillman frontman of FACE OF GOD. The popular rock trio
is excited about the gig and they are practicing hard to show on the final day
what a great band FACE OF GOD is.
One
more gig FACE OF GOD is staging before they open the Helldone festival. In the
club Liberte, Kallio, kolmas linja on the 23.11.2012 they will prove their
talent. FACE OF GOD is known for great live shows and a good sound. The band is
also working very hard in the studio. They are producing their first debut
album, which should be ready by spring 2013. The album will be a double
nonetheless, consisting of an electric (“Dead Ballads and Forgotten Love
Songs”) and an acoustic (“Illogical Psychology”) half. As well a new single
will be released at some point.
Who
is FACE OF GOD? Leo Stillman is the front man and guitarist of the band,
Benjamin Lehti is the talented bassist and Oscar Kuutso is the drummer. All
songs FACE OF GOD is producing are written by Leo Stillman. He is kind of a
talent in song writing, very inspired by life and text and melody are just
popping up without thinking much about it. FACE OF GOD is performing music that
comes from the heart and they are scratching many different genres without
being ashamed of it, to follow not just one style of music. A very open minded
band and talent as hell ready for the show on the big stage in Tavastia during
Helldone.
The
band is happy to give interviews and tell more about their experience. Please
feel free to contact me for additional information and interviews:
Yesterday night, the alternative rock trio Face of God staged a performance in On The Rocks, Helsinki´s best voted rock bar in 2012. The club in the downstairs of On The Rocks was crowded. The Devil I know, Attempted life and Face of God created a great atmosphere that night. Surrounded by two heavy metal bands Face of God sparkled with a gigantic sound and showed up what a three piece alternative rock band can do. Even Face of God fans from abroad travelled to Helsinki for the show in On The Rocks, this was especially to Leo Stillman the front man of the band a huge honor. He couldn´t believe it that people are actually travelling to see the band performing. Face of God is stepping up and new creative songs like were performed during the show, yesterday night. It was the first time Face of God performed the song "Born to loose" during a live show and the song gathered a lot of attention and applause. As the band entered the stage, Leo was blinding the audience again with his retro sparkling silver jacket. In the beginning the audience were quite shy, but as Lende took the jacket of and ask the people to step closer, they all warmed up and the great sound of Benjamin´s bass and Oscar´s drums made the audience dance. "Dance, what are we waiting for, what are we living for, when we don´t know where we belong". "Black in the night" was the last song and guided everybody back into the party night to enjoy a couple of drinks. Thank you Face of God once more for the great show and yes Leo, "we wanna be your guitar”.
Face of God
is producing magic at the moment in their live shows. They provide music that
the audience can feel and guide them with a more and more improving sound through the gigs. Last week Saturday 22.09.2012 Face of God played in Vintti a
culture house in Töölö, Helsinki. The place was quite small but really nice and
people loved the guys so much that it was impossible for the next artists to
enter the stage, because Face of God was playing one after another encore. New
songs like "Black in the night" and "Dance" were performed
and showing up with a different style than the old songs from the Fire Ep, much
better riffs and sounds, the guys learned a lot, in the just two years, they are
around as an alternative rock band. We are all waiting till "Hoo
myself" ,the brand new cover song from the Band Havana Black, will be
finally performed live on the stage. After the brilliant show in Vintti, Face of
God went on the Rockstone on the Road tour with Caroline and Strong Addiction
to Lahti and
Hämenlinna last week and the perfect final of that tour was staged yesterday
night 29.09.2012 in the Green Room of Bar Bäkkäri. Five dynamic and young Helsinki bands were
performing: Caroline, Guns of Glory, The Riot Soul, Face of God and Strong
addiction. That night was very awesome with lot of good entertainment and
music. From all the young Bands, Face of God showed upwith the most potential and
that they are the right band that got picked for the Helldone Festival in
December, that is staged in Tavastia, Helsinki.
Not just Ville Valo loves the music from Face
of God also Green Room was packed during the show from our alternative rock
trio and rocked out. Comments like "Leo Stillman, are you the next Ville Valo" got
shouted out load :) What could be a better compliment than this? Also in Bar
Bäkkäri an encore of the audience was screamed out "We want more". Jeah,
right we just can not get enough of you guys. Thank you so much for the
brilliant show of yesterday night!!!
For everybody who is even more interested how the band life of Face of God looks like, check out the brand new "Hoo Myself" video. Lende cut a few best moments togehter ;)
Greetings from training room, picture by Nina - Jasmin Korpi
After a
very successful gig in the old University house of Helsinki (vanha
yliopistotalo) at 23.08.2012, the Show must go on... And it is!!! That Face of
God is a very talent alternative rock/pop band that we all knew already since a
while, but now also Ville Valo the singer of the love metal band HIM recognized
our trio. Ville liked the music of Face of God so much that he was handpicking
the band for opening the Helldone Festival this year on the mainstage of
Tavastia, Helsinki´s famous rock club. This is a very big honor for Face of
God. Leo Stillmann who is since childhood a big fan of the band HIM, was really
emotional and couldn´t believe that his band was picked out of million others.
Helldone is a festival that is organized by Ville Valo and is happening
always over the New Year’s time. This year’s first day of the Festival will be
the 28.12.2012 where Face of God will stay as first band on Tavastia´s stage
and definitely dreams will come true. Tavastia is for every band a dream to
play and lot of bands started their international career from this stage.
Normally Helldone runs 4 days and the
house is always sold out. Well done, Face of God!!!!
In this
month Face of God will release the brilliant cover to Hoo myself from Havana
Black. Also if the song is a cover, the own style of Face of God is
recognizable and making the song very special. Hoo myself comes along with a
great and strong guitar sound and will surprise many people who didn´t knew the
band yet!!! The movie 3 Simoa is coming out on 14.09.2012 and we all remember
the online competition where Face of God won and the song "Elephant"
is the soundtrack of the movie that is coming to the cinemas this month. This
week Thursday the guys from Face of God will also attend the official Movie
Party. Busy days are coming and a few gigs outside of Helsinki are planned as
well for this autumn.
Sunday night 29.07.2012 Leo Stillman from Face of God was performing solo with a lot
of other artists in Bar Bäkkäri. Acoustic performances for a birthday party.
Strong Addiction Seba and Heikki and also Ville and Eero from the band "The Liar" were
giving guitar sounds and voices to its best. Lende´s voice was very strong and
the acoustic performance was again a candy for everybodies ear. Spontaneity Pete
Parkkonen showed up in the end. He gave his powerful voice to its best and
joined Lende in the end with the performance of the Face of God song "Bad".
Everybody tried to sing the oohhhhooooohhhhoooo with them, but it didn’t went
that well people were already too tipsy. Pete Parkkonen gave his best to
perform with Lende together also if it wasn’t voluntarily, Leo just put him
into the spotlight and he needed to join. Great show, we all had a lot of fun
to watch this. A big thank you to everybody that attended the acoustic night more or
less voluntarily :)
Fucking
insane!!! On the Rocks yesterday night. Face of God was performing with Scene
D´ Chryme. Around 11.30 pm in the night the guys enter to the stage and the
audience was supporting so much as never before. Lot of people came to see the
gig as well lot of friends. Everybody had a lot of fun and were singing,
dancing and rocking out to the best alternative rock music in town. Crazy
lyrics that pop up in your mind and are loved by everyone are very welcome.
Brilliant new songs were performed. "Dance" was one of the new songs
and came along with strong beats and Leo Stillman´s great voice. An all the
time getting more powerful voice and the sound is improving to its best.
Benjamin our blond bass player from town who slipped last weekend out of the
team to play Ozzy Osbourne covers is back now with much stronger bass riffs
than even before. Oscar needed to be careful to not break the drums that belong
to Scene D´ Chryme again, but he came along with strong beats as well. Leo
jumping into the audience is not scaring the people anymore he is just
motivating them to rock and dance more, the Helsinki Face of God audience got
use to this.
White trousers shining out of the crowd and somehow he forgot his
shirt or sparkling jacket at home, but much better that way. Perfect sounds and
a perfect look is just achieving the
goal of good show together and our Trio is getting specialists in that from
time to time. Thanx to Carlings as clothes sponsoring *hihi* The audience in On
the Rocks got definitely heated in and it was way too hot and to perfectly
sounded what we saw in that night. If you wanna get more Face of God you need
to travel to Loviisa to Backyard Rock today or join on Sunday to Bar Bäkkäri and see
Leo Stillman performing solo. He is also very talent alone, but much better in
company of Benjamin and Oscar. Face of God, we will hear so much more of those
guys....
…and
everybody will scream again like yesterday night: WE WANT MORE!!!
Thank you
Face of God for perfect alternative rock music.
Yesterday
night (20.07.2012) Face of God was part
of the program of the Luomustudio evening that was organized by the Luomustudio
video production company. Sure the logo of the Tomato was everywhere. Juuso
made even 80 pieces of entrance ticket and backstage passes himself and gave it
out to the artists and guest, showing the typical Luomustudio tomato logo: http://www.facebook.com/Luomustudio http://www.luomustudio.fi/
5 amazing bands were performing on the
acoustic stage in Café Mascot in Helsinki/Kallio: Father Simon, Face of God,
Black Twig, Home Junior and Wedding Crashers. Father Simon opened the evening
with a chill out rock pop music that everybody was enjoying and then it was
again once more the time of Face of God.
After the "One world tour" that
happened in month May our guys are acoustic specialists now, i bet nobody ever
stage so many acoustic shows in so little amount of time. Maybe someday they
will write a record with staging the most acoustic shows ever :) Elephant the
song that is coming with the movie 3 Simoa now to the cinemas was the song that
got videotaped from the video production company Luomustudio, with the big
tomato banner in the background every band was performing one song for the
Luomustudio video from that evening. Very talent artists and New comer bands
showed up. Face of God set a sparkel with their great acoustic sounds, as more
they perform as better they are getting. Leo Stillman learned how to engage the
audience to sing with him and clap the hands in the rhythm of the music, if we
all remember the beginning of Face of God there was a tiny, shy boy on stage
who was nervous before every show if it will work out right... now there is no
shyness anymore, lot of self-confidence and an always more improving voice.
Maybe he is still a bit nervous before the shows, but he got used to perform in
front of a crowd.
After the great success of
the "ONE WORLD" tour it is not getting quiet about our Trio. Festivals
are coming up and outside gigs. This week we could enjoy Face of God at Wednesday
evening on the live stage of the Esplanadi
Park (Espan lava). Super
sunshine, but a bit windy took lot of people to the Esplanadi Park
to enjoy awesome alternative rock music. Leo Stillman came up with two new
songs he presented with success on the huge live stage together with Benjamin and Oscar. Crazy minded like
always, he committed that he is too drunk to make love tonight in one of his
songs. Yep, can happen when you are a Fin. After the great outdoor gig of Wednesday,
Leo was surprising the audience in Boothill Bar/Helsinki on Friday with a solo
performance in acoustic version. He made the whole Bar sing the aaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaahhhh
of "Duck" and as well people needed to commitment with him that they
are too drunk to make love tonight. The show must go on and Sunday it was time
to enjoy great sunshine and warm weather in the Alppipuisto (park) in Helsinki
where Face of God was attending the "Pitkä kuuma kesä (hot long summer)
Festival" On the Sound-Inn-Paviljonki stage the guys showed their acoustic
gig talent once more. People loved the happy mood sound of the songs and clapped
their hands to the rhythm. "Diamantes" went again under the skin and
"Bad" just made you move. A big thank you again to our guys, who are
so awesome in staging live shows, really good and talent, we all adore them. Now
they have their own training room in the Nightclub Nosturi, where as well HIM is training those days. Face
of God is on the best way to join to the very famous once, one day. If you wanna see them live,
which is more than worth here are the upcoming show dates: 20.7.2012 at Cafe Mascotti

After the successful ONE WORLD TOUR 60 gigs
in 31 days was a huge ending party in Bar Loose 3rd of June, a Sunday full of
great music. Lot of the ONE WORLD guest artists joined and supported Face
of God for their talent and amazing condition to play 60 gigs in a month
without any break. Singer Leo Stillman went for sure sleeping with his guitar
in the hand and still singing, because he is so addicted that he cannot stop
playing!!! Nimetön, Frankie say relax, Dylan, Teppo Vapaus, Neat Neat,
HeadHeartHands, PASA and Tracedawn were joining and performing in honour and
respect to Face of God. Great music filled the audience ears up from 7 pm till
12 pm. After the ONE WORLD TOUR is over now it is not becoming silent around
Face of God they showed what they can do Friday night 08.06.2012 in
Leppakomies, Kallio/Helsinki. Leo Stillman let the Lion out :) in form of music
and a new tattoo. Everybody was dancing and enjoyed the music. Happy people,
great music, good atmosphere and an awesome audience. “We want more”, we cannot get enough, Helsinki
is Face of God addicted. Their music is the best drug ever!!! Face of God is known
very well in Helsinki now; the ONE WORLD TOUR was a really great promotion for
our rock trio and succeeded. We will definitely hear more from Face of God
soon!!!! Yes, I know and we all cannot wait for this. :)
Here the video of the last day 20 gigs around the city center in Helsinki = ONE WORLD rocks
...and a playlist on youtube to enjoy the complete ONE WORLD TOUR once more online:
The first half of the ONE WORLD TOUR is done. Face of God played in a lot of weird places till now. Highlight were the culture tram, sealife, botanical garden, tattoo studio Damnation INK, boat Kathrina, in the front hall of the cinema, in the tunnel of the metro station, on the new Linnanmäki stage (amusement park), inside of schools, cafes, shopping malls and stores. It was a great time and every time a different song was shoot by the talent guys of luomustudio production. Our trio had a lot of fun, we all remember the joke Lende told in front of Tennispalatsi. How many folk musicians are need to change a lamp? ;) Oscu who had all the time his fingers bleeding because of drumming too much and Benjamin who got kissed by Leo on the stage in the Club Perkele. Jaaaaaauuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhh like the piranhas in sealife are saying, a hard half of rock´n´roll time is behind us. Lot of new Face of God fans are joining all the time to support our guys everyday, the fan community is getting bigger and bigger. Right now there is nobody anymore in Helsinki city who has not heard about the band. The success is build up step by step, the next goal to achieve is the international market. Our trio who loves music and with Lende who never can even stop playing and always performs more songs than planned and is still all the time singing before and afterwards, jamming with his guitar, it will be no problem to show how awesome this band is!!! Face of God a experience that need to be join, don´t miss the upcoming gigs.

Sunday, sunshine and Face of God inside
Tennispalatsi. No we were not going to watch a movie, we surprised the people
that came out of the movie. Starting at 4 pm with Nimetön and the beautiful
female voice of Inka Halme. Everybody in the cinema lobby was inspirit and
enjoyed great live music. As Nimetön performed everybody was sitting on the
stairs and listening and Face of God finally made the people get up and come in
front to dance and have fun. Red bull girls filled the guys up with a bit more
cans. Face of God music and the taste of red bull belong already together :)
Our young ladies were dancing and singing again and finally the absolute new
beautiful song Diamond got shoot by luomustudio production. A song that goes
under your skin ;)
And poor Oscar needed to tape his finger
that he could continue playing, that´s really rock´n´roll. There was no need
for movies, the show of our guys were much better. Afterward sun and sitting on
the terrace for a few drinks, yep summer is coming.
03.05.2012 Face of God was playing
in the old primary school of singer and guitarist Leo Stillman in Käpylä. The
guys had a lot of fun in there to entertain the kids. And the kids loved it to
listen and having fun with the band. Also Leo´s brother Hugo went to the same
school and was with them that day.
04.05.2012 was the culture day. The most challenging
gig till now, in Helsinki´s culture tram. Not just the shaking was a problem
also too many people in the tram, we need to wait with setting up everything
till it was not so crowded anymore. But our rock trio Benjamin, Leo and Oscar
managed that so well, with lot of fun. The tram show was awesome. A group of
cute girls were following the show and they all knew the lyrics so well and
sang them very amazing. Leo was really proud. We left the tram at Stockmann and
Face of God busy, busy went straight to Vanha Kuppila to have a soundcheck.
In
Vanha Kuppila was a gig as well that night around 10 pm also the girls from the
tram follow to there. Awesome acoustic show again in Vanha Kuppila, the young
ladies were singing the lyrics with our Trio. Who would not fall in love with
Face of God? ;) Leo made the girls very proud and performed 2 new songs in
private for them. It was nice to listen to the new songs and how should it be:
crazy and very well done lyrics. Leo Stillman comment that is very nice to have very day a gig and see different people and friends all the time. Thank you Face of God for yesterday. Today Tennispalatsi at 16.00 together with Nimetön.
Don´t miss it, singer Inka from Nimetön is Finland´s hottest female performer
:) Enjoy the ONE WORLD TOUR
Summer time, ice cream and Face of God in
the tunnel of kasianiemi metro. Woooooooow so good live music in the metro
tunnel and lot of cameras around the place. People that went by were confused,
surprised, scared and joined the crowd that surrounded Face of God. Amazing
voice, even without mike or any technical equipment. Our guys have talent.
Highlight was a woman with bike that got followed by Lende with guitar. Very
entertaining, but she didn´t seemed so happy. One other woman stepped by and
shared her experience with phone. "Can you hear this?" Yep that is
great acoustic music that makes people in the crowd sing. Elephant and Fire were
screamed through the tunnel. Finally everybody knows the lyrics. ONE WORLD TOUR join
it and take part, don´t miss the fun we all had today. And Face of God is so motivated
with this tour that today again more songs then planned were played. Fucking
amazing. Tomorrow Käpylän with Iconcrash in Leo Stillman´s old comprehensive
school. Be there and don´t miss it at 1.00 pm. 48 gigs more to go :D A big thank you and clapping hands to our rock trio: Benjamin, Oscar and Leo!!! as well Luomustudio production.
“Is today Sunday, Tuesday or Monday?” singer and guitarist Lende from Face of God wasn´t so sure any more about this. The 1st of May Finland´s national hangover day can be confusing. First acoustic gig is played, just 49 more to go. Today Neat Neat supported with a great live performance. You could really feel the music, when they were playing. It kept the audience warm in the cold stone walled backyard of the restaurant and café Valimo in Suomenlinna. Face of God gave an awesome performance as well and warmed the audience up with clapping hands to the rhymes of their songs. They planned to stage 5 songs, but what an opening of the ONE WORLD tour, fucking amazing 1 h of Face of God. That gig was never going to end. "Do you want we play 2 more?" Lende asked "No" the audience screamed "4 more". Great start! One new song was performed “Diamond” as well Foo Fighter cover “Wheels”."Who has a hangover raise your hands?" Face of God asked and everybody did, surprise it was Vappu which can be described as the Finland’s carnival. Thank you Neat Neat and Face of God, you definitely played with your talent our hangover away. Well done!!! We are all waiting for tomorrow. Gig number two: 5 pm at the metro station of Kaisaniemi/Helsinki with TBA, be there and don´t miss the Face of God experience. JAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH ;)
21.04.2012: Helsinki yesterday evening.
Still a little bit cold outside with 5 degrees. At around 10 pm a thunder storm
set in at Helsinki Kauppatori (market square). Face of God lighted up on stage
of the traditional and known "Pirates of Caribbean" boat Kathrina.
For many people it was a surprise that Helsinki´s "Jack Sparrow" also
has an awesome voice. An acoustic set was staged in the bar and restaurant of
the boat Kathrina. And we are all happy that the boat didn´t sink, because so
many people came to see the thunder storm of rock music, Face of God created with
even just an acoustic set. Talented Leo Stillman gave together with his band member
Benjamin and Osku a very nice present to the audience, with introducing 2 brand
new songs they are working at the moment on and nobody ever listen them before.
Seems like "Jack Sparrow" had been "drinking a lot" lately
;) From the amazing acoustic set that were staged on the boat to the
rock´n´roll stage of on the rocks, where an earthquake broke out. Leo and
Benjamin lost their shirts on the way and drove the audience crazy with hard
and strong guitar sounds and something to watch for the senses. Osku created
the thunder with beating the drums. The audience was engaged with all their
senses and started to quake. Dancing people, satisfied faces and fucking
rock´n´roll broke out. A perfect created atmosphere to play in and Face of God
as the best talented Newcomer band in Helsinki created the musically thunder
storm and earthquake in Helsinki city that night.
Month May is going to be huge. Never happened in Finland: The "One world" tour of Face of God is going to be an experience. 50 gigs in 31 days will write Finnish history!!! Ylex publish today the official announcing. Every day will happening something very exciting. Normal gigs are too boring for our rockn´n´roll trio.

More info's:
On this Saturday night Face of God was staging a second gig in Vantaa. It was a small Vantaa tour with already the gig at Friday in Vernissa near Tikkurila. The Lane makes it into the top 5 for the weirdest places to play. It is actually a bowling hall, but with restaurant, bar and stage facilities. Face of God: Leo, Benjamin and Oscar had a lot of fun during the show. They opened with Flow, which is one of the very first songs from Face of God. It is an "oldie" with 1,5 years age. Price of Glory and Elephant are quite new compare to Flow. And jeah we are all still waiting that the summer is coming, since Helsinki had snow again yesterday. The guys enjoyed it to play and they had really much fun with rocking around the place, jeah a bit more audience had been necessary but some people preferred to bowl and just listen to the music, which was awesome. The sound was very great. Normally from a bowling hall you would expect a not so well done sound, but this was fucking rock´n´roll. With playing Bad, One world and Fire the mood of our Trio on stage even heated more up and exploded in the end as Paranormal and Turn back the time were played. Paranormal Whorebomb was the most known and favourite song in Vantaa area. No wonder, because the song was as crazy as the place they played in.
