Random Mullet

As promised in the earlier blog, here's the new band "Underfield" I started with my 14-year-old cousin Vilma Ala-aho. Underfield is influenced by many different pop music styles and female fronted rock such as The Gathering.

Remember also to watch new RM live videos! Henri did a good job editing 'em.

Thanks for all the fans who came to see us last weeks friday on our gig at Nuclear Nightclub! It was indeed a special evening and easily one of the strongest gigs we've ever done. We loved playing some unheard material like "Moment in Nowhere" from the debut EP. Some decent-quality live videos should be up soon!

I've been also working with some other bands in the past months, some of the albums are out now:

"Koalia", great British style poprockband, I played keys on their newest album

"Knockout Cocktail", 80's style rock with good attitude, played keys on their new album aswell

The newest band I've started is actually with my cousin who's a 14-year-old highly talented singer. I can promise you'll hear more about this project in the near future! Music will be in pop/ rock/ r'n'b- style.

Some surprising things will happen also in the future of RM; stay tuned!

Wow, finally! Finishing the EP on Friday 13th suits this case well. It's amazing to see the new songs on our homepages and myspace-site (CD's on the way too!). Wheels behind Random Mullet are like a slow-motion film; sluggish but workable. If I rounded up the numbers a bit, I'd say that our song-making-rate is one song a year as this project took over 2 years since "Infection" was finished. During these 2 years I've studied medicine like hell, recorded keyboards for 3 full-length albums (Knockout Coctail's new album coming soon!), played dozens of variable quality gigs and also puked in a coctail glass at Henri's apartment, which actually gave a working title to one of the songs, thanks to these so-called bandmates.

The whole truth is, though, that we started making these songs in the fall of 2008. We got an idea about Janne & Henri doing one new song and one song's composing duties were held for me and Tuomas. Third song, "Asshats" is actually a mostly renewed version from our old "hit" which was made back in 2005.
We had a small break of gigs in the darkest wintertime and concentrated on composing, arranging and recording the songs. It was great to see the songs evolving during the process and the gigs we did on the summer of 2009 also developed 'em. Ain't it easier to realize that your ideas suck in front of an audience compared to noticing 'em on a finished CD? Well, both options are probably crappy. Outcome is, luckily, the most important thing here and with this EP the future of Random Mullet seems brighter than ever! (Had to add one more cliché here..)

Dig the songs and see ya on our gigs! (yet another one..)

ps. I've already started composing a brand new track, a bit more serene and calm but still having the same weird atmosphere as always with RM.

Ugh it's 6 AM and I'm finally done for the day. Tired and drinking the last screwdriver. The websites seem okay, I don't, but who the fuck cares. Still lots of work to do, but you can see the idea. And more importantly, listen our new EP! It fucking kicks ass. Rough week behind, but it's like that sometimes, and now I'm just really really relieved that we finally finished the EP. We've been working on it for a year, and I think it really shows, I'm very proud and I'd like to direct a lot of props at J. Riikola's way, great work in mixing and working on the EP all the way. Can't forget that all the other bandmates are cool as fuckin' hell (too) as are all my friends & Emma, who have given critique and inspired me in my parts. And all RM fans, you rule. I hope we'll get a good gig soon to get you guys goin' on the new songs........ Thanks again! I'm going to sleep, FINALLY.
