About Me

*TRAVELLING FROM 15.8.-10.10., WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOST THEN*

Freelance culture worker, musician, writer, thinker, jack-of-all-trades. I spend my time dreaming, playing, making plans and sometimes even make them happen.

I organize shows for bands and musicians, play my own music and participate in running an ind ependent DIY culture space in Oulu. Feel free to contact me if you need help with booking a show in Northern Finland.

I'm into differrent strands of anarchism/socialism/feminism and making the world a better place for all living and non-living entities. For religion I tend to flip between atheism, discordianism and zen buddhist practices. Generally interested in lots of things.

My musical endeavors:
http://kadonnutmanner.bandcamp.com/ (my instrumental solo fingerpicking project, Finnish Primitive Guitar)
http://deathbysnoosnoo.bandcamp.com/ (punk / indie / hc band)
http://out-of-tune.bandcamp.com/ (punk / metal / 70's rock band)
https://www.facebook.com/bonusyhtye/ (country / folk / blues / classic rock covers)
