Deadforger Live Wanaja Festival, Hämeenlinna 19.7.2014

Deadforger is a local arising band that comes from my hometown, Hämeenlinna. They were opening the second day of Wanaja Festival this year and as it was a local act I was curious on how they sounded. The band turned out to be pretty decent in all and delivered very solid, should I say groovy metal.

More info on them here

And then, here's the photographic proof

The Heartburns Live Ravintola Hannibal, Hämeenlinna 18.4.2014

The first ever gig of The Heartburns here in Hämeenlinna took place on 18th of May and well, I was there! Woohoo! This place ain't really no club or anything like that so it really ain't that great place for a show. As photography-wise the circumstances were really bad. It was dark, almost no light and people were moving around fast! But I managed to capture few good shots from the show!

Enjoy!

Michael Monroe Live Wanaja Festival, Hämeenlinna 18.7.2014

So the festival goes on and the first day turns into evening and it's time for the infamous Michael Monroe band to take the stage. I have to say that I got pretty exited on getting the chance of being able to take pictures of them in festival environment.

I've always liked this band a lot, from the start to this day. I remember reading the news when the reincarnation of Hanoi Rocks stated that they were disbanding and soon after Mike stated on starting a new band. I was so stoked that day and got even more excited when they announced the line up. Which of course have had few changed during the years now. But all in all, this is, to be honest, one of the most energetic, most honest, pure rock n' roll band out there these days.

I've seen this band live for over 10 times or more now during it's career. I've seen all the line ups there has been and i must admit that there really hasn't been a single show that would have not been full of rock n roll, straight in your face attitude. It has always been such a pleasure!

I am more than grateful of getting the chance of being able to take pictures of them doing what they do best. Play Rock N' Fuckin' Roll! It's challenging to succeed with a band that has this energetic show. But it's rewarding as well when You get that shot that shows You at least some of feeling that was there at the show.

So here ya go! Couple shots from the show!

BTW, the band in on tour now, so go and see them live!
