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.

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. The Lane did a very well job also the backstage function were awesome. The band could enjoy free drinks, food, karaoke, a fire place and playstation three plus they could bowl for free.
Pasa and Face of God are really good friends, they played already a few gig´s together in the past and this time they had a show in Vantaa 13.4.2012 live @ Vernissa. Feniks the rock´n´roll guitarist from Pasa answered a few question about the show.

1. Leo how was it to play not in your home city? Leo: We've done now lots of gigs outside of Helsinki and its always good fun. We've been lucky to see that there is always some people who knows our music and they also know the lyrics, its nice.
2. You were travelling to all those places by car, what was the greatest on the road experience? Leo: Well the best experience was when I took a train.
(because he couldn´t fit in the small car with all the equipment on the way to Turku)

4. In which of those towns you staged the best performance? Anything that went wrong? Leo: When we played our first show outside of Helsinki it was a nightmare. It took like 4 hours to drive there and then we didnt even have soundcheck and we only had 30 minutes to play.

How would you decribe the direction you tried out with HeadHeartHands? Leo: Well it was Tatu from HHH who made the remix. We didnt do anything. But we are really proud of the song and about what tatu did, its good remix and that guy is really talented.
