Music Assignment

I visited West Coast club in Kokkola this Saturday (29.10.) because of concert of one Finnish band- MÖNNI. This music band from Helsinki plays punk/punkrock/hardrock and has 5 members: Pekka Monni (Bass guitar), Mopo Vartiainen (drums), Mika Keimo (guitar), Peto (guitar) and Raivo-Elvis (singer). These guys write and make their own music and all of their songs are in finnish. 
I have never been in a hardrock concert before, so I was curious how the music and atmosphere will be. Before concert I was listening some of Mönni´s songs which I found in youtube and I really started look forward to it.

The concert was to begin at 22:00, but I came to West Coast quite later- around  22:40. 
I entered and to my surprise....no band, no live music, no crowded club
The concert was over!! I was shocked, because usually when I go to concert in Czech, a band is playing for more than 2hours!

So I am really disappointed that I missed my first hardrock concert...(and also- of course- that I am not able to accomplish this Music assignment.)

But.... during holidays I visited Helsinki and one music band was playing in the middle of the street. I know that this is not a real concert, but I was listening to them for more than 30minutes I think. Their music was amazing - 5 young boys were playing famous songs in their own way (so covers) only with trumpets, trombone, tuba and drums. Atmosphere was great, many people who were just walking around stopped and started to listen the music (few of them started also singing and dancing). Unfortunattely I have no idea what the name of this band is, because it wasn´t written anywhere. I just know that I really enjoyed their show as well as many passerby.


Here in this video you can see one of the songs that band was playing. 
(Original song: Get Lucky from Daft Punk)
