Utajärvi, Finland (1980 – present)

22-Pistepirkko is a Finnish popular music band formed in 1980 at Utajärvi, Finland. The name “22-Pistepirkko” means a 22-spotted ladybug. The three members of the band are Asko Keränen, Hannu Keränen (P.K.) and Esa (Espe) Haverinen. 22-Pistepirkko now produce music in English, though at first their main language was Finnish. Their early albums were inspired by rock and roll and underground icons like Bo Diddley and The Sonics, but they have developed their unique sound by adding other influences to their music. Today they play an unconventional but distinctive mixture of pop, punk, rock and electronica, and achieved this fusion before artists such as Primal Scream or Beck popularized this kind of sound.

    Great lyrics, beautiful stories and Big Music (in "Lime Green Delorian"), that is close to poetry, and I dream awake. "Rodeo Heart"; "Find Me"; "Lights By The Highway" make my day constant fairy tale. Thank you for music guys. Soon I wish even stronger album or at least as good as "Lime Green Delorean". Straight ahead.

    v and this is exactly why I feel sorry for people who study Finnish as a foreign language & also highly appreciate those who understand Finnish :D kakskytkakspistepirkko it is. Or twenty-two-pistepirkko, sometimes.

    I'd rather say "kakskytkakspistepirkko" rather than "kaksikymmentäkaksipistepirkko", due to the fact that the first one is common Finnish spoken language and sounds more natural to Finns. The other one sounds way too official to me... Our spoken language is a whole new world, it varies so much from our language standards.

    New CD (Lime Green DeLorean) just released. Not impressed yet by all the songs. Still like Big Lupu and Rumbke City... period the most. But I will give the record a chance. See Spotify (http://open.spotify.com/album/6F85K9ficuZnQ79APWNClT)
