Aavikko


Aavikko is a Finnish synth music band, formed in Siilinjärvi in 1995. Their hallmarks include a campy, decidedly East European style and plastic-sounding synthesizer themes. The band themselves call their style muysic (a portmanteau of mystic and music); their motto is We play - you dance!. They're probably most famous for their song Viitostie, which is strongly influenced by Kraftwerk (the name is a reference to Autobahn: Viitostie is a major highway in Finland, also, perhaps coincidentally, one that passes through Siilinjärvi). Current lineup: Tomi Kosonen, keyboards and saxophone Tomi Leppänen, drums and electric percussion Paul Staufenbiel, keyboards (1999-) Former members: Antti Koivumäki (b. 1976, d. 2002), electric organ (1995-1999) Read more on Last.fm.
