Joku Paikallinen Bändi (Finnish for "some local band") is a Finnish rock and party music band from Kemi[1] founded in 1998,[2] playing Suomirock classics.[3] With 120 gigs per year[4] it is one of the most active party bands in Finland.[citation needed]
History[edit]
The band was founded in 1998 by the long-running vocalist Heikki "Heme" Vieresjoki.[5] After the band had grown tired of playing their own songs to empty audiences, they switched to playing famous Finnish rock and roll hits instead. The band started touring mainly in northern Finland until they had established their spot as one of the most sought-after bands all over Finland in 2005.[citation needed]
The name of the band has attracted attention[6] and caused confusion.[7] The name was invented when Heme was working as a doorman at various restaurants in Kemi. When people asked for the name of the currently performing band, Heme's reply was always the same: "I don't remember. It is some local band."[citation needed] The pub Joku Paikallinen Pubi ("some local pub") in Oulu is named after the band.[8]
Members[edit]
In addition to Heme, band members have included Antti Lainas (drums,[9] keyboard and vocals), Janne Jokisalo (guitar), Janne Posti (guitar), Marko Tirkkonen (bass), Santtu Heikkinen and Simo Aalto (drums).[1][5] The current member list was formed when the last remaining original members, Heme and Posti, had quit the band in 2011. The band continues with its members consisting of Pyle (vocals), Tupe (drums), Jussi (bass) and Late (guitar).
