First album reviews

“Well, first of all, clear your schedule. Once you push play the only thing you’ll be able to do for the next 59 minutes is feel the groove! For me that means involuntary head and feet movement plus copious amounts of air-instrumentation.”
9/9 stars from HOLLYWOOD METAL

“And again those contributions by famous guests are pleasant. But by no means essential. Because “In Motion” is strong as Hulk by Mr. Fastfinger’s very own rights. Without ever coming too close to mere fretboard freakiing, the album tells the story of a spiritual journey – almost without using words. In the end, Sensei has to confront his inner demons. We only give away this much: this can’t be achieved without some virtuoso guitar playing.”

Levyjulkkarit / Album release party!

We celebrate playing two shows this Friday the 30th at our home club, Bar soho, Porvoo, Finland!

Mr. Fastfinger “in Motion” -levyjulkkarit ja special show Bar Sohossa

Enemmän toimintaa, räjähdyksiä, demoneja, kääpiöitä ja nuotteja kuin koskaan. Perjantaina 30. Mr. Fastfinger bändeineen juhlistaa saavutustaan erikoisshowlla. Lavalla nähdään muusikon ja ihmisen risteyksiä sekä animaatiohahmoja. Bändi koostuu seuraavista hahmoista: Thomas Törnroos, Lasse Rantanen ja Kalle Katz, Mika Tyyskä ja Mr. Fastfinger. Lisäksi ruudulla runsaasti kääpiöitä ja demoneja.

Mr. Fastfinger yhteistyössä NYKE Ry:n kanssa.

Huom. kaksi showta!!!
19.00 keikka 1 : Ei ikäräjaa, Limushow. Kääpiöitä ruudulla. Lapsiperheet tervetulleita, baari avataan oikeasti vasta keikan jälkeen.
22.30 Keikka 2: K-18. Astetta rankempi show. Kitara heiluu vaarallisesti.

Pepe Deluxe: Queen of the Wave

Pepe Deluxe’s new album has been released! An esoteric pop opera, is based on the legendary books on Atlantis “A Dweller on Two Planets” and its sequel “Earth Dwellers Return”. This is something that we’ve been waiting. Mika’s lead guitar for te song “The Storm” was recorded in 2008, around the same time as guitars for “The Way of the Exploding Guitar” were recorded. If you take a moment to dive into the world of Pepe Deluxe, you’ll understand why it took a long time. It’s daaaammmn EPIC!
