Sandra:
"The gig of Face of God on Saturday in Bar Bäkkäri was awesome like always! Full of energy the guys were rocking the whole club and the feeling was breathtaking! Live they are simply great, no matter how often you have already seen them. Hopefully they will also play in Austria, the distance to Finland is just too far!"

Face of God at the Trash Bar, Brooklyn

Did New York had really enough of Face of God? "Since we took all the cocaine that was on the market, we have to move on to Washington and Philadelphia now" Lende was kidding on stage with the New Yorkers. Nobody had enough of them!!! Brooklyn Trash Bar was a perfect venue, small but with a bad ass rock´n´roll attitude. Bassist Benjamin got shirtless once again, the temperature in New York City is just too much to handle. Very great show in Brooklyn, now the guys moved on to Washington were they meet up with Metal Underground for an interview. The link to the interview will be published here when it is online. Thank you Face of God once more for a great gig and enjoy America. New York was awesome <3

NEW YORK CITY, Otto´s Shrunken Head


Welcome Face of God to the US. Yesterday the punk rock place Otto´s Shrunken Head presented a rock night with a couple of bands. Face of God was one of them and definitely showed what they can. The audience was impressed, a lot of people gave so much positive feedback to the guys after the performance. Frontman Leo Stillman opened the show up with a small stand-up comedy try and confused the people, but hei it was just a joke they are one of Finland´s best rock bands not a stand-up.
The small punk rock place on the 14th East in Manhattan heated up very fast and the guys on their way getting naked encouraging the audience to join :) Alright no naked party, but a hell of a great show. New York, you definitely need a band like Face of God!!!!
The next show will be on 23rd in the Trash bar, Brooklyn. Be there don´t miss it out!!!

Leo Stillman the Finnish Pharrell Williams?


One day is just left till the release of the Finnish version -HAPPY. 
Pharrell Williams had a genius idea with writing this song.
As well as Pharrell, Leo Stillman is one of finest artists when it comes to great and inspirational live music and song texts with a kick ass idea. The songs Leo is writing for his band Face of God are at least as good as Pharrell´s HAPPY. It will be just a matter of time till they throw the same attention. Face of God is a powerful alternative rock band with the talent to succeed. HAPPY as cover version comes along with a rock attitude and strong guitar riffs -> much more rock´n´roll than Pharrell´s original. HAPPY is just catchy as hell and set´s the people around the world in a good mood. It definitely will lift your ass from the sofa, cause you just have to dance and feel the music. A song that can turn your mood upside-down in a positive way. No wonder that Face of God´s frontman Leo Stillman agreed to cover HAPPY, as he got a call from Kari Hynninen the founder of Suomen Musiikki label, who brought the idea up. In just a few weeks the organisation talent Leo set everything up: practising, studio, recording, master, cover photo and the final video shoot to HAPPY. A lot of friends supported and helped him with joy. A huge thank you again at this point to the HAPPY- Crew. The music video recorded by Juha Hanhinen took place around Helsinki on a cold but sunny day. Face of God and friends were on the road as the sun came up till it went down. A lot of fun, happy mood and joy was the motto of that day between hard working. The whole band can be very proud of this achievement and I think for Leo Stillman who´s birthday is coming up tomorrow, this might be his best bday present ever. HAPPY will be released 25.04.2013 in the rock location of Bar Backstage (Bar Bäkkäri) in Helsinki. The release party will be this Friday from 7pm on. You are all very welcome to enjoy the Finnish version of HAPPY and rock to the live performance of the band Face of God at 9 pm. Don´t miss out on that!!!! 
If Leo Stillman will be the Finnish Pharrell Williams is up to you, I strongly recommend to buy the single and have a copy from the best summer song of 2014 in your collection. Enjoy the happy ride and open a beer ;)

Face of God, making of: SO THIS IS LOVE - music video

All rights to this pictures are reserved by Joel Hiljanen http://joelhiljanen.com/

This weekend Face of God gave everything in the video shot to SO THIS IS LOVE. The video is directed by Juha Hanhinen, who directed already PARANORMAL WHOREBOMB in 2011. Rock photographer Joel Hiljanen took the pictures behind the scenes and Morgan was bitching around that everything is going to work out the way it should be. Well organised with the right rock´n´roll attitude.
The result of an hard working crew, will be the most epic music video ever done in Finland. Face of God´s SO THIS IS LOVE engaged people to a huge moshpit in the bar of the sailing boat Jan Mayen. Jumping, dancing, scream, singing and beer showers made the audience going. The Holland beer brand Heiniken sponsored the night with drinks and everybody enjoyed a hell of a party. Maybe the first time in his life frontman Leo Stillman went stage diving and got carried away by the hands of the audience. Feel the music was the slogan of the night!!! Benjamin and Leo had so much fun to rock together with this insane audience. The new and fresh face behind the drums is Lauri, who joined Face of God now, after the talented Perttu Kurttila decided to work on his own music again. Different laser lights effects and people going crazy will be the main images of the upcoming music video SO THIS IS LOVE. Face of God is so talented that this new music video is going to rock you away. This time the words are really missing to describe the audience sensation and party during the video shot.
Be ready SO THIS IS LOVE will blow your mind!!!

Thank you everybody for coming. It was a blast. We all will take this experience with home and from now on SO THIS IS LOVE music video will be a reminder of an epic party night.
Kiitos Face of God & Crew <3 Keep on rocking!!!
