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 Forever, 20 Years of an Amazing Musical Journey
Today – or rather the day after tomorrow – is the celebration of 20 amazing years of music masterfully offered to us on a platinum platter by Finnish rock band POETS OF THE FALL. As a writer, it is always nerve-wrecking to imagine people you admire so much reading your words. When these people are POETS OF THE FALL who, wordsmith Marko Saaresto, belongs to… well, I get nervous with all the what ifs screaming in my head… Truth be told, there are so many surprises throughout this article I could not be more please for Poets and for you, readers, fans and friends. We’ve all been touched to the core…
Poets of the Fall – Happy Birthday, Marko Saaresto, sir!
Here we are again, time flies doesn’t it? 😏 Today, not only do we celebrate the extraordinary Marko Saaresto’s birthday, but also the World Wide Poets of the Fall day. Happy Birthday dear Marko! 🥰🎂🍾 Marko Saaresto, Yum… When one hears the name Marko Saaresto, what do you think comes first to mind? Yes, THAT, sorry I couldn’t resist… but not really what I was after 😅 This past year, I have watched reaction videos about Poets of the Fall and almost all have one thing in common: “Omg, this voice!”. Whether the person reacting is a man or a woman, they all get hooked by Marko’s voice. The emotions…
Happy 18th Birthday Poets of the Fall
Poets of the Fall turns 18, today! Our Poets have finally reached majority…now, what that would mean “in the eyes of the law”, I leave to your own fantasy. 18 years is incidentally how long I have been living in Sweden (give or take a couple of weeks) 😏. The Poets family is celebrating all over the world… cakes were made and I believe Marko (probably the entire band actually) would love to have a bite 😋 I know I would! 18 years of age, 11 albums later ( counting The Alexander Theatre Sessions, Live in Moscow 2013 and Alchemy Vol. 1) the band is, I assume, working on No.…
