Ankkuriklubi @ Nosturin alakerta


Face of God rocked the house in the downstairs of Nosturi. Yesterday night the famous Ankkuriklubi was organized by Iiro Ylönen. He has chosen the bands for the event well. A very great music night with Supertzar, Teppo Vapaus & Intohimon Orjat and Face of God. It was crazy even people from Norway flyed over to Finland to see the show from Face of God. As already the night before Face of God continued the set list with the two new songs: "Alive dead monkey" and "Whales on the sand". The new songs are really great and sounded awesome performed live on stage. Face of God attracted an international audience. Since the Helldone festival 2012 they are more and more known on an international basis. So people from Spain, Germany and New Zealand could be found in the audience. In this night everything worked well and the gig was brilliant. The people enjoyed the show, dancing, singing and rocking out with Face of God. All three bands of the Ankkuriklubi night presented their talents on stage. Supertzar played powerful rock music with great vocals from Willie Nelson Mandela. Teppo presented his own style of music which people just love or hate. Most of them yesterday night loved it and cheered up to lyrics like "Helsinki on perse". Face of God ended the show with “Black in the night” and yep, they were fooling around and made quite a mess on the stage. Welcome to the real rock´n´roll.
The music night continued backstage. They are so great musicians that they cannot stop playing. Benjamin Lehti on the bass and Leo Stillman on the drums continued over hours into the morning. 
Maybe Face of God should think about a world record: How long is it possible to play without any break?

2.3 @ Studioravintola Paksu, Helsinki

A very weird show, but awesome !


Yesterday night 25.01.2012 Face of God was performing together with Bar Bees, Riot Vein and Fuse at the Sikafest in Bar Bäkkäri/Green Room. Face of God was the main act of this night. The guys showed up with a great stage presents and two new songs in the set list. They open with the new song " Alive dead money" which surprised the audience and speeded up the start of the show.A few weird things happened that night a drunken woman joined the rock trio on the stage but got carry out from the securities after a while. Face of God handled the situation with self-confidence and it didn´t destroy their good mood. The audience was amazed and Leo Stillman made them play his echo. Oscu performed an awesome drum solo and showed that he is one of Helsinki´s best drummers. Between the song “Paranormal Whorebomb” the microphone fall down and Benjamin and Oscar needed to speed up till Lende found his mike again, he confused all the people as he started rapping spontaneously into the mike and took it with lot of humor. The audience liked his spontaneously rap performance a lot and supported it. Also if it wasn´t the typical Face of God genre, but it was fun and heated up the great mood. After all this weird happenings the rock trio showed up with a brilliant performance and "Chase yesterday" went under the skin. Almost at the end of the show Face of God performed the second new song "Whales on the sand" which has a lot of power and thanks to Lende we all know now that a whale is a big fish (iso kala). This night was one of the weirdest shows Face of God ever performed, but it was fun and it is nice to see that sometimes things shouldn´t be taken too serious. "Black in the Night" ended the show and Leo jumped into the audience to rock on which succeed for a "we want more" and the guys showed up on stage again to perform "Fire" which was a wish of their younger fans in the audience.What a night, let´s see what will happen today in Nosturi!!!

Thank you all for supporting.

Leo Stillman solo at Meri Rock 2013


The Rockstone Agency http://www.rockstone.fi/  organized a rock cruise from Helsinki to Tallinn and back on 19.01.2013 - 20.01.2013 with Viking line. Face of God´s front man Leo Stillman got invited to perform solo in acoustic on the boat. The festival on the sea was called "Merirock". Also the Riot Soul, Santa Cruz and Hybrid Children were performing together with a band from UK the Fallen on the main stage. In acoustic Leo Stillman from Face of God, Tom Eklund from Caroline and Annabella from Vanik Ink gave their voices to its best in the pub of the boat. Leo Stillman presented himself with a lot of fun on stage. It was very nice to listen to song´s like Diamond, God and Mercy which were not performed during the Helldone Festival 2012. When Leo Stillman is performing solo the facets of his voice shows even more. He played a very well acoustic show and ended it with a little joke as he performed a "Silja line" song... uuuuuppppsss it was Viking Line. Wrong boat, but we can forgive him this.
The next show of Face of God will be on the 25.01.2013 in Bar Bäkkäri, Sika fest. See you all there.
