Maybe I'm Mistaken...

...but this struck me as simels' kind of thing. From Finland, please enjoy the surf stylings of Laika and the Cosmonauts.



(Aside from anything else, steve clearly needs one of those shirts. And I probably need a bone in my hair.)

Are you kidding? I've loved these guys since the early 90s. I've been known to say that their album "The Amazing Colossal Band" is the great Finnish musical export since Sibelius. And I don't mean that ironically.

Look how thick the guitar strings are. No Super Slinkies in Finland. Fantastic instrumental. Fantastic look.

Wonderful! Thanks for that. I'll have to look for their stuff.

@Faze: Heavy gauge strings are pretty much required for surf guitar, I believe. I play on two Jazzmasters, popular for the style, and any gauge below 11 creates set-up problems.
