One way ticket

Tomorrow we are leaving Helsinki again and this time with a one way ticket. It doesn´t mean we wont be back, it just means that we are flying around the world - literally.
Our first trip will be Helsinki-Singapore- Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We are flying with Finnair and last time we traveled with them we flew First class so you can imagine that our expectations for tomorrows flight are quite high. Don´t disappoint us now, Finnair!

This is not Kuala Lumpur - this is Stockholm where we did a gig last week. The old town in Stockholm is just so beautiful. And empty.

We will arrive to Kuala Lumpur or KL on Wednesday and on Friday we are doing our first pre-view show. The performances are at the Gardner&wife theatre and we are doing 13 shows in 18 days. Not much time to hang by the pool.. Except of course all day.
Yesterday I checked out the home page of the theatre and to my big surprise I realized that somewhere across the Atlantic Ocean the name of our show has changed from Pink Noise to Rockcappella. Interesting. But I guess it doesn´t matter what the name of the show is, what they will get is Fork - the furious Finns from the country where we fish salmon with one hand while we keep the bears away with the other. Mixed with the cheese-loving, wine-sipping French sound wizard.

This is not Kuala Lumpur either, this is Kouvola, a small town in Finland where we also had a gig last week. The old town is just so...different. And empty.

From KL we are flying via Tokio to Dallas, Texas and from Dallas to Raleigh, North Carolina where we on Saturday the 3rd of November are performing at the one and only Sojam festival! And from there we are flying via New York back to Helsinki in good time before our opening on the ElectroVocal Circus.
I will keep you updated on interesting things like how well we are doing with the jet lags, how warm the water in the pool is, how many shoes we have been shopping and so on.

This is Finland right now.

Malaysia here we come!
