Raahe, Finland (1992 – present)
Zen Café is a Finnish rock band that was found in Raahe in 1992. Since the late 1990s, the band has been quite popular in Finland.
The band named itself after the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig at the suggestion of band’s bassist Kari Nylander. Other original members were Samuli Putro (vocals, guitar), Mikko Oesch (guitar) and Tuomo Mäki-Paavola (drums). Oesch soon left the group and Mäki-Paavola was replaced by Pete Parkkonen (drums).

Hi Zen Cafe, I have been trying to find a 'home' for my 1960's protest song 'Poor Max!' which you can listen to at 'coolwindchris' here at last.fm. The track was made with Finale so the voice part is wordless, unfortunately. I can send you a .pdf of the music if you are interested - which I hope you will be! Best wishes, Chris Gordon (Coolwindchris)
