The mighty Funkgressors are on it again! Groovy stuff as expected and the mood swings naturally between funky, soulful and jazzy vibes. These two tracks both present Kepa at vocals and the vibe has some 70’s and 80’s elements that are so familiar to us. Enjoy!

The Pefflets is back with a trad two-song-single exploring the tonalities of two musical eras assisted with sax player Kimmo Koskiranta. Muddy Trail is a 2020’s stream of consciousness channeled through a 60’s steamy studio maybe somewhere in Alabama. Pulling up to the Curb is an 80’s inspired song about aspirations and the toll weContinue reading “Muddy Trail/Pulling up to the Curb”

The time has come. Keith Pefflet & His Late Haystack Band will let you have a look in their home album, where the music and the memories live happily ever after. The process for their debut album started out with a bunch of ideas and determination to see where they will lead. Soon enough itContinue reading “Knee-Deep in the Farm”

Jotkut vanhenevat tyylikkäästi – toiset äänekkäästi. Repimön debyyttialbumilla kuullaan häpeilemättömän vanhanaikaista musiikkia – Suomirokkia, jota ei ole päivitetty vuosikymmeniin. Ja siksi se onkin niin hurmaava paketti. Kokonaisuutta leimaa myös nimeä myöten klassinen tee-se-itse -asenne. Sävelet, sanat, sovitukset, äänitykset, miksaukset, soitot, laulut, kannet – he (Pasi, Timo, Vesa) tekivät sen itse. Varaa siis aikaa puolituntia, laitaContinue reading “REPIMÖ – Tee se itse!”

There may come a time when you start looking at something familiar from a new perspective. You may realize that there’s something more than meets the eye. If places could talk, they would have long stories to tell. Someone else has had similar experiences with the same house, field or maybe a cliff. This isContinue reading “Family Tree”

Black sheep, bad apple, rotten egg, vagabond, lowlife, you name it. We’ve heard of them even if some would like to conceal their stories for good. Are the villains raised, or are they born bad? Are they more valuable dead or alive? This is the ballad of John Pefflet, a story of life lived inContinue reading “The Ballad of John Pefflet”

It’s another Funky Friday on Grooveland and Funkgression just released their new song: Chase Me. It’s a Funky track with some electronic and rock flavors and a strong pounding beat that makes you instantly want to dance. And a catchy chorus too! This chase is a romantic one even though the target is not yetContinue reading “The thrill of the chase”

Tämä on oodimme kotikaupungillemme. Ja tavallaan myös sinun. Eikä sen tarvitse olla Tampere. Tai kaupunki. Pohjimmiltaan kyse on siitä, että kaiken kaukokaipuun keskellä on hyvä välillä pysähtyä ja katsoa rauhassa ympärilleen – siihen lähelle – niin saattaa huomata mitä kaikkea hienoa on tarjolla heti siinä käden ulottuvilla. Biisi löytyy kaikista itseäänkunnioittavista digipalveluista – alla mallia.Continue reading “Turistina Tampereella”

It’s time to announce the release of the debut single of Keith Pefflet & His Late Haystack band. Phases of life end while next ones begin. We may watch old photographs with a sigh. Some things we are glad to leave behind, some things we would love to cherish at least a little longer. SometimesContinue reading “Let It Go”

Have you ever experienced a situation where much too little car has much too big audio sound system? And the end result outside this particular car sounds like dunkka dunkka dunkka dunkka… Yes. We know. This is a song about too little car jumping and making loud noise. And to make things even more interestingContinue reading “Let’s Dunkka Dunkka”
