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.

A Deja vu for me, a younger brother once had one of their records. I liked them. Now I can listen some more to a severely underrated band.

You guys tend to fuck up our fine yet so easy language. :D The band's name is a compound noun all the way, and with letters it goes: "Kaksikymmentäkaksipistepirkko". :P Anyway, you should stick with 22-pistepirkko for a reason. :D

Let me get this right - Kaksikymmentakaksi-Pistepirkko? or do you say Twentytwo-Pistepirkko? in either case, hoping to catch 'em in london in February.

The chorus of 'Birdy' makes me unaccountably happy, as does the break for a bit of birdsong. Why not? Does it really matter if we go insane?

I've only just discovered 22-pp, but oh how I like them! Got my hands on 2 albums + the compilation. I've just listened to 'Car Wash' and I really think they are good at making choruses. Just me who thinks that?
