Message from Aki

Hi from Germany!

The tour has started well. Really good gigs so far!!! You guys know how to sing along and some people even came on the stage to sing a song, that's great! How come you can sing in finnish??
So prepare to sing "rakkauslaulu" on the stage, next time it might be your turn...

Now we're in Dresden, spending some time in the bus, in a WARM bus, yes!!! 2 days ago i woke up in hamburg and it was only ab. 10 C in the bus = freezing!! The heating system was broken...

So, I've been sick for couple of days, fever and cold, feeling really shitty, but every night when i get on the stage i totally forget it and i feel great, there is so much energy in the air. So biggest thank you for giving me all that energy!

Ok, time for a little nap before the soundcheck, moimoi,

Aki

LAURI FROM THE RASMUS COMPOSES MOVIE SCORE

The Rasmus’ Lauri Ylönen has fulfilled one of his life long dreams by writing the score to a new Finnish movie called Blackout. Blackout is a psychological thriller about a man who suffers from amnesia. He wakes from a long coma to find someone has fired a nail into his head with a nail gun. He then begins to trace the events leading up to the trauma. The movie stars popular Finnish actor Petteri Summanen.

“I always wanted to compose a movie score. I read the manuscript and the melodies started to play in my head. Basically I have classical training in music and the themes came alive easily.

I sat down by the piano, put my fingers on the keys and listened to where I should move my hands next”, summarises Lauri.

The theme song of the movie, “Tide”, is performed by debut artist Belle Who.

“She is a very talented indie pop artist from Helsinki and the latest signing on Dynasty Recordings. I have worked on her album for most of this year as I’m the executive producer,” says Lauri. Belle Who’s debut album will be released early in 2009.

The Blackout soundtrack is a Dynasty Recordings release and it’s distributed by Playground Music Finland. Release date is the 17th of December. Blackout has its premiere on the 26th of December in Finland.

Justify

"The new clip for "Justify" was filmed last weekend in Helsinki. The story is focussing on Lauri, who is sitting in an empty pool, confined to a chair, and the water is rising slowly... The singer had to sit in the water for almost three days to finish the video. The treatment idea came from Pauli, guitar player of the band."

Interview on the Red Carpet

- A man interview Lauri, but he don't know Lauri or The Rasmus, and then they have spelled Lauri wrong!
