Introducing: the Band of Shysters

Maybe it's the thing of playing traditional songs with a punk attitude and a modern, contemporary feel, or as we like to call it, bastardizing the tradition, maybe it's something else, but a taste for Irish (or Celtic, if you will) folkpunk seems to be innate for a lot of people. Most people we've come across, anyways. Therefore, when we started building our big band we had little to no problem finding people. Here's who we've got so far.

Jussi Markkanen - BASS

Our bass wizard, as did five other eighths of the group, studied at Conservatory of Kuopio. His dark & brooding figure is most often met at the numerous dance pavilions of our fine country. Or in the bars. Best mention the bars, here. We've got a lot of those, too. With Sami this Old Master of The Beat lays a concrete-solid foundation for our younger and more animated players to frolic upon. In addition to playing the bass Jussi votes Father Jack, wears black and seldom smiles. Jussi is at the moment: NOT sober, though luckily back from Goa.
