Baltic Waves tour blog :Day 5

Hi, Greetings from Stockholm. Yesterday we had quite long trip with a ferry, karaoke and wild night life, but fortunately here we are still alive first time in Sweden. Today we had small excursion in the centre of the city and in the evening we played our fifth gig in the tour. The place was really awesome with great welcoming, food, tasty tea, really good music and great people around us. Thanks our "mother" in "Debaser Slussen". Tomorrow we will continue our Swedish journey, next stop - Gothenburg. Bye From Latvians with love. St.Z.

Baltic Waves tour blog :Day 3

Hey there, Our first visit to Helsinki is almost over. We spent four hours on sightseeing and after that had "great" fast food dinner. Our conclusion - if you want to feel this city, you have to spend here more time, because we are pretty sure that there is much more to see and to discover than shops and some biggest central streets. However in the evening we visited place called "Siltanen" and had nice and peaceful performance there. For the first time we heard Ö and Snöleoparden and enjoyed their extraordinary style of music. Now we are having some rest and getting prepared to continue the tour in a nice, automatically administrated hotel. See you. From Latvians with love. St.Z.

Baltic Waves tour blog :Day 2

Labvakar, we have just arrived in Helsinki and haven't seen much of it. But, we have really cosy hostel all 4 in one bed and also everything is automatic. Haven't seen anything like that before. Last night's show was loud, but nice and we want to say big thanks to Id Rev and also the museum of contemporary art of Estonia. The public was great as well, especially the guy in front of the audience. After that the ferry "Baltic Princess" entertained us until the next tour place - Helsinki. The sunset was very nice. Especially in the combination with vine named "Heartbeats". That's it for now. We are waiting for tomorrow's concert and enjoying our evening off here. From Latvians with love. St.Z

Baltic Waves tour blog :Day 1

Greetings form hostel Flying Kiwi in the heart of old Tallin. There

was very nice concert yesterday in Kaņepes Kultūras Centrs and finally we heard our Estonian and Swedish collegues. They really sound great. Then we packed all our staff and realised that there are lot more gear than we expected but in the end we fixed all the small problems and we are here safe and sound. The concert place in Tallin looks pretty awesome and we are quite sure that tonight there will be some nice gigs including ours. That's it for now. We'll keep you updated.

From Latvians with love. St.z. p.s. here are some photos from last night http://www.easyget.lv/foto/gallery/3545/

Starting from this Thursday(Nov 1st) from Riga until next Saturday (Nov 10th) five bands from five different countries will be on a joint Baltic-Nordic concert tour. This sonic action happens under the aegis of Baltic Waves which is a Finnish initiative aiming to bring Nordic and Baltic acts closer to each other. It promises to become a romantic and nostalgic live experience as the bands performing are mostly melancholic and sweet, each of them true heroes on their local underground indie-music scene.

The representatives of Baltic music are Sturi Zevele (LV) and Id_Rev (EE). Sturi Zevele is a atmospheric acoustic folkband, switching between male and female vocals and creating somewhat of a similar feeling with the Glasgow dream-pop band Belle and Sebastian.  Id_Rev is a real treat for local music lovers. Their naive-punk, indie and post-rock tunes associate with meaningful memories from the late teenage years.  As The Baltic Scene shares common values with this project and approves the action we came up with a collaboration idea and so we created a new page on our site titled "Baltic Waves tour blog" where the members of Sturi Zevele will daily write a tour-blog!

enjoy
