Misfit’s Gems – THIRD LUNG, Gameplay released 04 Nov. 2022
THIRD LUNG‘s debut album, Gameplay was released on November 4th, 2022! I’ve listened to it ever since that morning as often as work allowed and I literally fell in love. It’s like being swept off of your feet by a whirlwind of cherry blossom and getting on an adventure you really did not expect. This is a joyful and highly emotional ride, with beautiful melodies and lyrics… don’t get me started on the singer’s voice and the musicians. Aha, that’s why you’re here… but you cannot just pick one thing, that’s the thing, you see?! For the short story of why THIRD LUNG gets a spot on PotF – Misfit…
Ghostlight, interview with Marko Saaresto
Today I feel blessed and incredibly lucky, because today I had the honor of getting an interview with Marko Saaresto, the gifted singer and lyricist of the fabulous Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall. He took some time, in his busy schedule, to answer my spur of the moment questions. Like many of you, I have – this past week – lived vicariously through the live photos and short videos our friends posted on social media from the gigs in Germany and Prague. I have avidly read over and over Marko‘s Tour diaries and marveled at how his mind works. It takes one to know one, I suppose… not…
Poets of the Fall – Pumpehuset, Copenhagen September 6th, 2022
Beautiful, beautiful Copenhagen… isn’t it how the saying goes? Whether it is or not, Copenhagen is absolutely stunning ❤️. A few days before Poets of the Fall’s gig at Pumpehuset, I visited a little and I was blown away. The serenity I felt in this city filled me with joy. My friend Ana was not only the best company, but also the best guide 🥰. I’ll spare you the details of my visit, but suffice it to say that I went on a boat tour, saw the Tivoli by day and almost night and wandered the streets a bit. The day of the gig, we went on a nice walk…
Larry Sandman – A conversation with the sandman himself
Today is a very special day, because today we had a long interesting and fun conversation with the amazing Larry Sandman. Larry Sandman, the creative mind behind the gorgeous single “Upside Down”, released June 3rd this year. Larry, the man who knows how to surround himself with like-minded artists to produce beautiful songs, rock and classy with a dash of “je n’sais quoi” that makes all the difference. Before we start, go pre-order Larry Sandman’s debut album on iTunes More Than Free to be released June 21st 2022. Origins: in a few words, who is Larry Sandman? [Larry] First of all Claire, let me say thanks. I appreciate you…
Larry Sandman – Upside Down Video feat. Marko Saaresto, out 03.06.2022
When the Sandman himself announced his new single Upside Down featuring Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, my mind went straight to Poets of the Fall. I counted the x’s and Marko Saaresto fitted exactly. I thought to myself, nah, this can’t be right. I hoped of course, because I realised what this would mean to Larry Sandman: a wider exposure of his music, among other things. I hoped but dared not saying it out loud. Then, Larry replaced the first X with M… my mind went wild and after that it did not take long before he let us all on the secret 🥰. Obsessed much? Maybe. In truth, I am devoted to…
Poets of the Fall – Vanha, Helsinki May 27th 2022
Almost 2,5 years since I last had the pleasure and privilege to attend a Poets of the Fall show. My last gig was October 2019 in Paris… but now I am back in beautiful Helsinki for my very first Ghostlight Tour concert -though I could have done without the damp and somewhat chilly weather. Attending a Poets’ show is an incomparable event in itself, however, it becomes even bigger when you’ve got to travel from another country. I know some of us have. My “Poets trips” are always eventful, and this time was no exception. My train to the airport was partially cancelled, which pushed me to drive there instead…
