The Grande Finale of the Records Are Forever Tour will take place on 12 December at Helsinki's famed Tavastia Club.

For the first time ever, the entire show will be broadcast LIVE by Floobs on our own website. The viewers will be able to choose from a number of camera angles (from static video cameras to mobile phone cams in the audience) for the ultimate live experience. The broadcast will start at 2100 hrs on Saturday 12 December (that's 2000hrs CET), and showtime is at 2130 (2030 CET). No registration required, just sit back and ENJOY THE SHOW!

12.10.2009 RUNNING MAN - THE MUSIC VIDEO!
The Summer of '09 in just four minutes? From the perspective of a small big band? That's the basic concept here. About 30 tapes of material from 2009 and beyond compressed to one short film. We're proud to say the music video was shot entirely by a bunch of our close friends, who can now add "Cinematographer" to their CVs: Heidi Strengell, Anna Olli, Lauri Olli, Heli Suoninen, Severi Lajunen, Mikko Haapala, Ville Pesonen & Sami Peura. Edited by Ilari Laine (Final Cut Productions Ltd). Luv you all. The song features one of the hottest guitarists ever to bother any strings with his fingers, Petteri Sariola, and the fantastic Johanna Juhola just blazin' on the accordion... need we say more? CHECK IT OUT NOW!
19.08.2009 THANK YOU SUMMER OF LOVE 2009!

We'll be preparing ourselves for more touring during the autumn, and a revamped website with videos, photo blogs and slideshows etc is coming soon as well. Anyway, this summer was probably the most fun we've ever had on the road so here's a little 'THANK YOU' from Ilosaarirock's main stage!
