Treeball are a musical collective based in Helsinki Finland, since 2000. The band consists of one Englishman, one American & 3 native Finns.

ORIGINS
UK born Nick Triani moved to Finland in 1998, following the demise of former UK based band Supermodel (Fire Records, Columbia USA). Initially working in Finland as an in-demand producer (acts Triani has produced include: Mummypowder, Giant Robot, Sister Flo, Apulanta, The Rollstons, Astrid Swan, Manboy, Montevideo), Triani hooked up with Janne Lehtinen, lead singer/songwriter with Mummypowder. The two of them started demoing Trianis songs, meanwhile trying to find likeminded souls to play with. Aleksi Mnttri (Krispies, Jonna Tervomaa, Mummypowder) was recruited on Bass, Ville (Come Inside) keyboards, Astrid Swan (keyboards, guitars & vocals) with Lehtinen taking drumming duties alongside Triani on vocals and guitar.

DEBUT
In 2002 this line-up of the band released debut album The Strawberry Blonde School Of Class on respected Finnish indie label Stupido Records. Well received in the Finnish media as a landmark record in its own genre, Treeball had finally arrived.

After a series of shows to promote the debut album, keyboardist Ville leaves the band and is replaced by American guitar player Michael McDonald (Aleksi Ojala, Montevideo), and the definitive line up of the band. Treeball quickly record a series of new songs to be released on The Cat Formation of A Mouse EP, a 7-inch vinyl only release on Turku based indie Rhythm Barrell Records, in late 2003.
