The only thing we were pretty sure of was that the audience would experience something they hadn't seen before.<br />

The festival is in the middle of nowhere on a field. Last year it had been raining all festival so the place was one big mud pool. This year it is dry which means the air is thick of dust and it sticks to everything. Your ears, mouth, nose, eyes, clothes, microphones, sound desk, shoes, you name it. The festival has around 80 000 visitors and on this pre-festival day the place was already packed. And everybody seemed to be happy to be here.<br />

The arrangements and security around a festival this big are enormous. Everything seemed to be working very smoothly, we got our festival passes and were shown to our backstage.<br />

The catering was great and neat! Chili con carne with a salad. So heavy metalish.<br />

In our backstage tent there was this sign on the wall: Wacken says no to the wall of death. We agree totally!<br />
There was of course no time for a soundcheck so we did a short line check behind the stage. Or at least we tried to do, while another band was performing. There are no breaks in the line up, band after band goes on and after spending some hours on the festival area you can't remember what silence sounds like. I have a feeling that the decibel of the festival wouldn't be accepted by the Finnish law…<br />

Here we are on stage. Tobias was doing a great light show and Greg had been working for five hours with headphones on to get our sound right! They are the best!! And we had a great time - sweaty, dusty, loud but good time!<br />
<br />
Today we are performing at 17.30 - looking forward!<br />
And tomorrow we are going home.<br />
Deutschland - it has been fantastic once again. See you soon!<br />

Suddenly we had lost the boys but luckily we found new ones almost as good.<br />

The weather was perfect all day but just before the show was about to start some threatening clouds appeared at the horizon.<br />

Look how happy they look. They have no idea whats coming up from behind.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the thunderstorm didn't make it our way and the night was great fun! Thank you Schwäbisch Gmünd, you were great!! (a bit too complicated name for a Finn but otherwise only thumbs up for this city!)<br />
<br />
Oh and not to forget the fantastic Greek restaurant Poseidon who saved our night. We had been recommended a Maroccon restaurant, went there, waited for 30 min to get a table, waited for another 30 min to get some service (which we never got), tried to order the drinks from the bar which we weren't allowed to do, got up and left. Hungry and pretty pissed. Walked down the street and saw this little restaurant with no customers (never go into a restaurant with no customers) but decide to take the chance anyway. And it was absolutely fantastic!! food, drinks, service, everything. A bunch of happy Finns left the restaurant a couple of hours later.<br />

Today we are getting ready for our first gig at Wacken, one of the biggest heavy metal festivals in the world. It will be very exciting!!<br />
Will we survive is my question?!!<br />

Yesterday we had a corporate gig and today we have a day off. Our plans are to do Freiburg which includes shopping, checking out the local wines (maybe tasting a little bit) and having lunch with our German agent Florian. <br />
<br />
The night before we were doing a show in Tuttlingen. It was a festival up on a hill and as the Germans like to think "in the middle of the forest". When the promotor picked us up he looked at the shoes the ladies were wearing and expressed his concern about us moving around in them up there in the wilderness. As a Finn I would say the festival area was more like a park with some trees here and there.<br />
<br />

Sometimes tour life is all about waiting.<br />
<br />
Tuttlingen was a great experience, the festival was held in a tent, the show was sold out and we had the great honor to perform on the same night as voXXclub and ONAIR, two fantastic a cappella bands from Germany. Hope to meet them somewhere in the near future again.<br />

And sometimes you think it is a good idea to jog in the morning. That is before you realize how incredible hot it will be on stage the same evening and how you will sweat like a little pig and really wouldn't have had to do any extra exercise at all.

A short update on what's been going on: we had a very busy spring, rehearsing mew material for our upcoming X- show where we will be celebrating our ten year anniversary as a professional band. Or at least as pro as this band can get… (we are having the opening night in November in Helsinki, but more about that later).<br />
Then we went on a nice summer vacation and now we are back. Like the year before and the year before that…<br />
<br />
Our first stop this season is Baden Baden in Germany, gigging here tonight and soon on our way to sound check. We were here last February and enjoyed it very much. Now even more at least when it comes to the weather! Aaaah the heat!! We flew here yesterday, met in the morning in Helsinki, had<br />
a couple of hours of hard rehearsals, packed our stuff and took off.<br />
<br />

A picture from last spring. Somewhere in Austria at 2 a.m when we couldn't get into our hotel rooms because we had no keys and we needed to call someone who only spoke German (by the way I had never heard Kasper speak German as fluently as he did that night) and then when we finally got the keys and went to bed we found out there was already someone sleeping there… That is when Jonte put a palm tree on his head.<br />

Paris! Oh, la la. Here we are now, staying smack in the middle of Paris, in two different apartments. Boys in one and girls in the other. Not bad, not bad at all.<br />
<br />
Before Paris we did a gig in Vendenheim and on our arrival we were offered lunch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmMnbTBdSTWIMzd9728SugpPONF7b33bP2giAMicQG0XIc5TWoAtWEALtICbR5mYmD1EVGAqd7INusKnMV1fjfmcdVnTmdlQXRmi37G_sUwYk4fkSuGZgEI8efQxlZfM61v5dh4JggQ5w/s1600/IMG_5411.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmMnbTBdSTWIMzd9728SugpPONF7b33bP2giAMicQG0XIc5TWoAtWEALtICbR5mYmD1EVGAqd7INusKnMV1fjfmcdVnTmdlQXRmi37G_sUwYk4fkSuGZgEI8efQxlZfM61v5dh4JggQ5w/s1600/IMG_5411.JPG" height="231" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The French really knows how to cook, at least in Vendenheim. The lunch was so good with a local dish and local wine so it felt almost impossible to start thinking about work again. But luckily we eventually did because Vendenheim was sold out and the locals had high expectations on the Finns and our knowledge in French. Well, we had been practicing a bit so I would say we didn´t make fools out of ourselves. Even Jonte, who has absolutely no background of any kind of french lesson threw some unforgettable lines.<br />
<br />
Another challenge was that we had decided to use our golden clothes in Vendenheim, which also involves some hair work for Anna and me. Since we don't have a hair dresser with us, Linda was the one to create something on top of our heads. I think she did pretty good.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Linda was nervous throughout the show that our hair would fall off. It didn´t.<br />
<br />
The trip from Vendenheim to Paris took 5 hours and here are some pics of what usually goes on in our tour bus.<br />

Linda counts money. Or actually checks. We stopped using checks in Finland in the 80's so this feels very special. And a bit antique...<br />

Anna is reading.<br />
Greg is sleeping, I am writing and Tobias or Hasse (depends which one is on tour with us) is driving. After Vendenheim Tobias went home and we were joined by Hasse, who is now in charge of the lights. Welcome Hasse!<br />

The first night we just walked around and enjoyed this lovely city.<br />
<br />
The next day we had a gig in Achères ( a suburb to Paris), at 14.00(!!) for 300 french speaking kids.<br />

Girls freezing in downtown Hamburg. But also looking good.<br />
<br />
It was great to be back gigging at the Fliegende Bauten where we were performing also last summer. Only this time the tent wasn't as hot as last time… and I managed to break my shoe just as I was doing my best boogie-woogie moves. No worries, no one got hurt.<br />

Backstage food. Thumbs up.<br />
The audience in Hamburg wasn't as easy-flirted as the previous crowds, maybe big-city-audiences are more picky since they do have happenings to chose between. Michael Bublé was gigging in town the same evening as we were, I wonder how he felt when part of his audience came to our show instead.<br />
<br />
Then we were on the road again…<br />

After Hameln (great audience, sold-out show = happy Finns) we went to Wilhelmshaven, Germanys only deep water port. Once again I got to see a city that I probably never would visit if I would´t be in this band. Amazing. To be honest we really didn´t see that much of the town. Just an Italian restaurant, the hotel and the 600m walk from the hotel to the concert place. But anyway.<br />

Backstage in Wilhelmshaven. (Which I by the way referred to as Wiljamshaven throughout the concert…how difficult can it be, one might ask herself?!)<br />
We filmed some material for our next youtube song and by the looks on my colleagues faces I'm not sure if it turned out very well…<br />

After Wilhelmshaven (great audience, sold-out show =happy Finns) we drove to Hamburg. The weather has changed, it is cold and very windy. Luckily we found a nice warm restaurant last night, close to our hotel.<br />

and so far we are enjoying every minute of this tour. We are on the road again, this time for 18 days.<br />
First we will be zigzagging across Germany and then we'll head down to France (gotta work a bit on that language before we get there, now we only know some phrases that cannot be said in the opening speak… or can they?)<br />
<br />
So far everything's been going well, we landed yesterday in Hamburg (what a lovely short flight from Helsinki, not even 2 hours) where we were picked up by our light guy on this tour - Tobias. He left Helsinki already on Sunday with our tour bus, took the ferry over to Germany and by the time he came to Hamburg he was bored. But after two our with us in the bus he was happy again, as happy as any light guy can be.<br />
<br />
Tonight is our opening night on the tour and to get in shape we did some shopping.<br />

I would like to blame the bad internet connections around certain parts of Europe but then again that might just be an excuse for my laziness... Anyhow, Fork has not disappeared anywhere if that is what you were thinking. No no, we have been busy busy busy and here is a small photo collage on what´s been going on. I give you the most important Fork moments from the past five months:<br />

What goes up must come down.<br />

A good cold vishy Catalan and some antennas to keep her wired up to outer space, that is what Linda needs. Here we are in Barcelona.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Little did we know that the cold car was the warmest place we would find in the upcoming 24 hours. Bunn leisure Park is a place with 2000 caravans and a huge entertainment complex and no heating system what so ever. (maybe they have one but they just don't use it)</span></div>

This morning we woke up in Eastleigh at the <a href="http://www.theconcordeclub.com/" target="_blank">Ellington lodge hotel</a> where we also had a gig last night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The hotel has a bar where non members like us are welcome.<br />
<br />
We landed in Birmingham on Thursday morning. Hasse and Greg had arrived a day earlier with our technical equipments and a van and they were kind enough to pick us up at the airport. The left hand side driving doesn't seem to be a problem for Hasse, that is why he will be driving for the whole tour!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While Greg and Hasse were roading and building the rest of us focused on the more important things. Like food.<br />
<br />
In Birmingham we performed at the <a href="http://www.thejamhouse.com/birmingham/" target="_blank">JamHouse</a>. The place was packed with students who in the beginning of the show wasn't quite sure of how to behave in front of four Finns dressed in white and singing Final countdown, was this for real?<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes it was for real and when we came to our last song which of course was Bohemian Rhapsody we actually didn't need to sing at all. The crowd was singing for us. Wonderful!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The next day while Hasse and Greg were roading and building we were focusing on the more important things. The local cheesecake.<br />
Jonte: why are you doing this to me?! Why?!<br />
Kasper: I am so happy I didn't have any cake, not jealous at all, just happy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After the cheesecake we had to do a very soft version of a soundcheck.<br />
<br />
The gig in Eastleigh was lots of fun. We told the crowd that before the night was over they would all be dancing. And so they did!<br />
<br />
After the gigs we like to hang around as a group and just share our thought and feelings of the evening.<br />
<br />

Then we went to Freiburg, supposed to be the sunniest city in Germany. It rained for two days and then it started snowing. The bad weather doesn´t do any good to the group spirit. Here Kasper is left outside. Probably for a good reason. Or then not.<br />

Here we are back at Casino Helsinki where we will be spending many evenings this spring doing our show Spin the wheel. In this picture we weren´t still sure of what we were going to do and Greg got so frustrated that he suggested a different sound system for us. Just to bring something new into the show.<br />

Look at that proud face!<br />
Since we are spinning the wheel many times during the night it means that each night is different. It is all up to Lady Luck what songs we are singing. One night Jonte had 6 solos and I had 1. Clearly my career can not be left to Lady luck alone. <br />

<br />
<br />
Last night we had our last show of the year 2012. It has been quite a turbulent year with over 100 gigs and lots of travelling. Like the rest of Europe we´ve been struggling with the economics but we made it so far and for the moment things look pretty good.<br />
<br />
There has been so many good moments both on and off stage. Like the late nights in Edinburgh, first sweating like small animals on stage in front of a dancing audience and then later on having a glass of wine in our flat and making decisions about Forks future.<br />
<br />
Or in KL, Malaysia, where we were driven around in a very very small car where the bottom hit the ground every time there was a bump in the road. And all the wonderful people we met there and of course the mornings by the pool where more decisions about our future were made.<br />
<br />
Or The US with the wildest audience who made us forget all about jet lag and just wanted us to rock.<br />
<br />
And the new warm audience we have met in Germany and Austria, we will be back in 2013, that is a promise! And my German will be better by then, that is almost a promise.<br />
<br />
And then, maybe as some kind of a highlight of the year, the sold out performances of ElectroVocal Circus at Aleksanterinteatteri in Helsinki and the wonderful audience who night after night stood up and danced.<br />
<br />
We are so grateful to each and everyone who has been working and helping us along the year and we are looking forward to a continuing cooperation in the year of 2013.<br />
<br />
And we are thankful for each and everyone who came and saw our show because without you this really wouldn´t make much sense!<br />
<br />
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<br />
See you in January.<br />
<br />

I really have no idea how we made it to the opening, maybe we were just high on jet lag or something but suddenly it was the D-day and we could only hope that everything was going to work as planned.<br />
When we, we as in the singers, came to the theatre a day before the opening the technical crew had already been working there for 24 hours. It was an incredible feeling to realize that all of us were aiming for the same goal, to make this show as good as possible. I think we have the best technical crew in the world!<br />

Outi who designed and made our clothes was not happy with my pants during the run through. She is a perfectionist which is a very good thing except on the opening night. The show started at 7 p.m and when the clothes weren´t yet at the theatre at 6.20 I called Outi to ask if everything was okay and was she maybe on her way soon? Yes, I am in the taxi she said calmly. Just around the corner. There any minute now. Which was a slight lie because at that point she was on the other side of the town waiting for the taxi that never showed up and then running out on the street with all our feathers desperately looking for anything that could take her to the theatre. She made it and we were all dressed and ready to rock at 7 p.m. With a bit higher pulse than usually.</div>

After each performance we talk about how the show went and what we can do to make it better. Things like are we standing in the right places for the light, how did everybody´s speaks between the songs go, are we singing too loud or too quiet (too quiet is not something that would happen too often in this group...) and so on. But we have an one-hour rule. You are not allowed to give any negative feedback during the first hour after the show. Only positive things can be said out loud. It is not like we are very good on hiding our face expressions though...</div>

Imagination is more important than knowledge said Einstein and we like to think that is true. At least in this group.<br />

After some hasty and nasty packing in KL we made it to the airport on time and got all our very colourful bags checked in. The goodbyes were tearful but the hope for a return to Malaysia kept us going. Maybe next year again!<br />

The flight to Raleigh via Tokio and Dallas went fine except that the sleeping schedule Linda had made wasn´t really working as we hoped. The timezone changes and the 48 hour without sleep didn´t exactly made us into the sharpest tools in the box.<br />

The SoJam people thought it was a good idea to have us do an interview early next morning. We probably didn´t answer a single question without offending someone unintentionally. But Mark and Dwayne (who by the way had the pleasure of driving us around and only tried to kill me once, unintentionally he claims) still seemed happy with us. Or maybe they smile out of horror.<br />

belting - we were like uhh well we just sing and if you need to sing higher you just sing a bit higher.<br />
how to tour with men - we were like uh, well it´s nice.<br />
how you take care of your voice - we were like uh, well, never thought of that before. Should we?<br />
clothes on stage - uh, well, you need to know how to wear them.<br />

The day after. Bill Hare is taking the Finns out for a beer. Then back to the hotel, once again packing our bags and off to Helsinki.<br />
We have had a very good four weeks on the road, met so many nice people, had such warm audiences and had quite a few good laughs. Now, once the jet lag is tackled, the preparations for our upcoming premiere on ElectroVocal Circus begins.<br />
<br />
It´s good to be home.<br />

It has been a fantastic time, the weather has warmed up our frozen Finnish souls, the audience has let us bask in the warmth of their embrace and the food has given us some extra kilos to carry.<br />
<br />
We have also been building our team spirit for our next challenge - SoJam in the US.<br />

Hard working people.<br />
<br />
When we arrived on Tuesday evening after a very easy flight (yes, Finnair had some champagne waiting for us) we met Natalie, Richard and Bebe from the theatre and they took us out for dinner to a very nice small local restaurant. Both Anna and me agreed on that the food was in the top five best food-experiences ever.<br />
<br />
Our pick-up time for the next morning was at 6.15 so we tried to get some sleep (not succeeding very well) to look good for the early morning tv-show.<br />

Early morning birds zirp zirp.<br />

Then there was some radio interviews and web-site interviews and lunch and maybe a beer at some point and in the afternoon we even had time to do a quick soundcheck for Gregory who together with Tobias had been working all day with tuning the loudspeakers and programming the lights.<br />

And in the parking hall.<br />
<br />
Yesterday was our first pre-show. The reason why we are here in KL is that last year Natalie, the producer of Gardner and Wife Theatre saw us perform at the Fringe festival in Edinburgh. Somehow she then convinced Mr. and Mrs. Gardner to invite this group called Fork over to Malaysia to perform at their theatre, which they did, and yesterday was the first time they actually got to see what we were all about.<br />
It is understandable that Mr Gardner, who only had seen us giving interviews in a pretty jet lagged state of mind while wondering where we could get a cold beer or how warm the water in the pool is or if we at some point should do the final set list for the show, was a bit pale and nervous before we entered the stage.<br />
<br />
We weren´t sure if the audience would recognize all of the songs in the show or if our humor would connect with the humor over here, but there was no need to worry. Even the old Swedish hit Final countdown has at some point made it´s way to KL and the warm and wonderful crowd was happily singing along and enjoying Jontes boldness and baldness.<br />

It doesn´t mean we wont be back, it just means that we are flying around the world - literally.<br />
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!<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />

Which is a good thing since we are getting closer to the opening of our ElectroVocal Circus here in Helsinki and things need to be decided. We are not the group that makes decisions at a very early stage, no, we like to push the nerves of everyone involved and try their patience. Last week we had a good meeting about the visual stuff - clothes, set design etc. Not much was decided but lots of ideas came up. Some good and some that seemed very funny at first but after a while everyone had second thoughts. Those are usually the best ideas, when you aren´t sure if you are pushing the limit a bit too far. <br />

This was one of the ideas that at first seemed like a good one.<br />
<br />
We have also been doing some gigs during the last two weeks. And here I came up with a great idea that has no second thoughts what so ever.<br />

This was the view from our backstage. Peaceful and calm. Nothing like the people of Åminne doing the lambada...Wild, loud and crazy!<br />
<br />
And then we did a live tv-concert in Mainz, Germany. We were of course a bit nervous but there was no need for that. Everything was so well taken care of, the audience was happy, the director was relaxed, the team was fantastic and the backstage was the best!<br />

And once again we have had a fantastic time. We have seen some absolutely amazing shows like Frisky and Mannish (where Anna and I laughed so hard we had to redo our makeup afterwards), Tubular bells for two, Nothing is really difficult, Out of the blue (where 20 young male Oxford students made us feel old) and many more. We have also seen shows that were not so good but I guess at a festival with more than a thousand performers that can happen.<br />

We are so grateful to all the people that came to see our show, some of them came back again and again and politely laughed at our jokes for the seventh or eight time. And of course once again all the wonderful people that helped us make this happen. The whole Assembly crew, with Michael and Kelly and the rest of you crazy party animals. To our so good-looking and always smiling flyering team whom without we would have had so much less audience, to Doug and Barry for the lights, to Ruben and George for making sure we stayed within the 60 minutes time slot (which we never did so sorry for that) and to Valerie and Lauren and Andrew and so many more.</div>

It is an extreme privilege to have this man, who whenever we need a ride is ready to pick us up. The only problem is that he speaks with such a wonderful Scottish accent that misunderstandings happen every now and then. As last night, when Linda came home (yes, we call our flat Home nowadays) very late and after a few drinks (she had been networking - as she calls it...) and she thought she had the following discussion with Andrew: <br />
Andrew: "Are you peeing in my car?"<br />
Linda: "What? No!"<br />
Andrew: "Are you peeing in my car I asked?"<br />
Linda: "Andrew! I am not that drunk! I am not peeing in your car!"<br />
Andrew: "Linda, ARE YOU PAYING BY CARD?"<br />
Linda: "oh. Yes."<br />

This is our very big and glamorous backstage. When we get dressed before the show we need to follow a very strict choreography to avoid punching each other in the face. But we like it. And the champagne helps.<br />

Last year on our day off we made it up to Arthurs seat. This year we made it all the way to the Highlands!<br />
