Pauline's Music Assignment

Last Friday I went to see a Finnish band, together with a few of Centria's Exchange Students. The band was from Centria and all the members were clearly students. There was a drummer, guitarists (electric, bass and acoustic), a violinist, a pianist and a background singer. They played songs from the Foo Fighters together. Their style was mostly rock. The lead singer was Tiia Katajamäen.

What I liked most about the concert, was the enthusiasm of the band members. They were really enjoying the gig and they were excited to let us hear their version of the songs.

The band consisted of Tiia Katajamäki - lead singer, Tommi Miettinen - guitarist, Miika Arvola - guitarist, Esa Hakkarainen - bassist, Matias Källi - pianist, Juhani Koskinen - drummist, Krista Kairaneva - violinist & Piritta Savolainen - background singer. As I mentioned earlier, they played songs by the Foo Fighters, mostly rock music.

What was very unusual for me, was that we received ear plugs when we entered. Also, the audience didn't really stand up when they applauded and during the concert everyone was quiet and sitting down without movement.

It was a new experience for me to be at a concert in Finland and it was definitely worth it.
