Death Hawks live on Friday!

On Friday our GUINNESS STAGE PRESENTS:

Death Hawks

Death Hawks was born in Riihimäki 2011 and includes Teemu Markkula, Tenho Mattila, Miikka Heikkinen and Riku Pirttiniemi.

“It would be a short-sell to say that Finland’s Death Hawks are simply recapitulating an era long gone, repeating a formula which was sowed by the likes of Sabbath and the Doors. Instead, on their latest release Death and Decay, you are privy to an instance of synergy in influence and inspiration on difficult terrain. They weave a path through sparse, blues driven stomps to dark, desolate surf rock – creating an engaging, immersing album where contemporaries in retro rock often fall short.”
(Cabin Fever Sounds)

Grandeville playing live on Friday

Grandeville will be playing live on our Guinness Stage on Friday, 11th May!

Grandeville

Grandeville goes back and forth combining different sounds. The common thread is always the down-to-earth vibe that has so far resulted in quite a colourful quilt. The band self finds it hard to categorise their music, but pop-rock should be pretty close to an accurate description.
This approachable rock/pop/blues playing quintet with their sultry lyrics has been wandering confused about their genre in the echoing garage of music since 2001. Discarding the search for a clear definition they kept on playing their unambiguous hybrid music and got a envigorating shot when Samuli stepped behind the keyboard in 2006.
At the moment their in studio mixing their new awesome tracks!
