Gettin' ready...

Well, the Granfelt / Nikku guitar Fest. gigs are done now and AGAIN I must say, What a band!
Tipe guesting on vocals did a great jobb as did Tommi Rautianen who subbed on 2 gigs. We're talking about recording and more gigs in january so stay tuned!

BGB is getting ready for action! Check out TV2 Betina S the 3rd of september, we'll play 2-3 songs live and I'll tell some stories about the new album etc.
AND you'll also see and hear the new bass player !!!
We've rehearsed 3 times already and I am VERY pleased so far, a few new arrangements and 3 new songs in the set. We'll be doing a "rehearsal" gig at Boothill in Helsinki the 7.9 before we start the tour.

Can't wait to get out there again!

Here we go again...

Alright, back after a relaxing week in the hot zone of Tunis and ready to rock...
Todays Lahti Jazz Tori is the last gig with Anssi Växby on bass and I'd like to thank him for being there, playing well and sampling some whiskeys with me :-)
Tomorrow for the Bakers show Ako Kiski will jump in for a one of before we start rehearsing with our new bass player next week... You'll get his name in september before the tour starts here in Finland. We are scheduled to appear on TV2 in the program Betina S. the 3rd of September and the album will be out the 5th.

I have also today updated the gigs page with the German tourdates + 1 more gig in Helsinki the 15.9 at the Boot Hill Pub.
We now have a total of 4 gigs in Helsinki during sept-oct. Why? you may ask. Well, I think taht all these gigs are in different parts of Helsinki and it's about time I put my name back on the map (of Helsinki that is!). In december we'll play On the Rocks again which of course is the big gig for us here.

Be well, and C U out there!
