Poets of the Fall – Marko’s Birthday & the 20th Anniversary Wrap Up
Another year… gone. It is this time of year again when I take the opportunity of wishing my favourite singer of all times, Marko Saaresto, a very very Happy Birthday. You, sir, are a beacon of hope to us all and your artistry continues to be such an inspiration through the years. Thank you! This year has been a festival of good fortunes though… a nod, a look and most of all sings along… plus the bonus of a photo and a short talk finally – Christmas all year long for me🎄. The last gig I attended this year was Paris, and don’t take this the wrong way but, this…
Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary Tour – Gig Diaries: Alhambra in Paris, 06.11.2023
About a week ago, I had my last rendez-vous with Poets of the Fall at l’Alhambra in Paris for the first show of their last leg from the 20th Anniversary Tour in Europe. This became my eighteenth Poets of the Fall concert since 2018. November 6th, 2023 was a day filled with memories and mementos forever engraved in my heart. A very special weekend full of laughter and new encounters. I met beautiful people I know I will meet again soon. I can say this: it is now official, a new Poets of the Fall French “gang” was born that day 🥰. They’re here “By a happy mistake…” I arrived…
Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary Tour – Gig Diaries: Copenhagen and Stockholm, 14-15.10.2023
Poets of the Fall 20th Anniversary European Tour continued this October 2023 with a second leg from Amsterdam to Stockholm, with two other stops on the way: Hamburg and Copenhagen. The Misfit Tribe attended the Nordic gigs – Copenhagen and Stockholm. This is where I am now bringing you back to. They were both similar gigs in many ways and yet they could not have felt more different. The two of them emotionally charged, if not for the same reasons, made for a very special weekend. Happy Birthday Charlie Friday, October 13th … my lucky charm… with but a few hours of sleep from the previous night, I drove for…
Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary Tour, A Special Tone – Interview with Marko Saaresto
This week begins Poets of the Fall second leg of their celebrated 20th Anniversary Tour. For the occasion, Marko Saaresto graciously accepted to answer a few questions… again 🥰. Marko the wordsmith even during interviews… I cannot help but keep smiling at his answers. Thank you, poet! Now, even though I have planned to go to three more gigs this year, after reading Marko‘s answers, I feel this buzz within and, me, myself and I are jumping all over the place with expectancy for Copenhagen, for starters 💃. Anyway, less is more, so come and spend some quality time in the company of one of our favorite poets. 👉 Tickets…
Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary – Surprise Chat with Markus “Captain” Kaarlonen
You know, or maybe you don’t, but I am always interested in what happens behind the curtain, especially when it comes to Poets of the Fall. I can guess the amount of work going on there before they can actually deliver the exquisite shows they do, night after night. I wish sometimes I was a little mouse, spying on what’s going on… wish granted. No! I did not turn into a mouse. I had a very nice and lengthy chat with none other than the maestro, Markus Kaarlonen – aka our Captain. He kindly reached out after reading my article on Warsaw’s gig and left it to my discretion to…
Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary Tour – Gigs Diaries: Warsaw, Poland 04.09.2023
Poets of the Fall 20th Anniversary European tour started on September 4th 2023 in Warsaw, Poland, for me. A last-minute decision so I could meet my dear friend Susan, who’d come all the way from California to see the band… Poets of the Fall are more than just musicians playing amazing music. They are what started the beautiful friendships enriching my life for the past 5 years. So little time and yet it feels like forever. So, where to begin? Ah! Yes! Susan Did you bring a friend? Did you come alone? Did you come alone? Are you thinking of your friends? Are your thinking of your loved ones? – excerpt…
