New Music: Satellite Stories - Helsinki Art Scene / Mexico
Straight outta Finland! No joking, this is my favorite kind of indie rock. I even dig their promo blurb...
"Satellite Stories are four daring satellite heroes from the arctic city of Oulu, Finland. As well as wrestling with the polar bears, we also like to make some catchy party songs. If you listen carefully, you might hear influences from electronic dance music, even though we don´t play any synths. Our mission is to bring you nostalgia from events that you never really experienced, like the 60s, first kiss from your elementary school crush and the time you and your best friend bought that awesome 45-single and listened it from your parents record player. We play scenes from all of your favourite movies in the form of jangly, anglular, energetic and always danceable indie rock. We want people who listen to our music from records and who come to our gigs to have good time, dance and enjoy life as it is."
