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…

Alexander Theatre Sessions Wrap Up Interview 2020
Last Friday, the Alexander Theatre Sessions came to end with the last episode of the season: Carnival of Rust. Today, it is the last wrap up of the Alexander Theatre Sessions on Poets of the Fall Social media. It is with a small pinch to the heart that I say goodbye to these beautiful moments when time stood still once a month for a whole year. Although, goodbye is not farewell, I thought I’d give you all some extra time to enjoy it all. So while Poets of the Fall was busy wrapping up the Alexander Theatre Sessions on Social Media with great “Behind the Scenes” photos, I chanced and…

Last Friday, Poets of the Fall released their new single and video The Sweet Escape. Many joined the countdown to the premiere on YouTube (Yours Truly included).
