Renoise (FIN)
Renoise was formed at the end of the year 2002 when
Mikko got bored playing alone. For the other guitar
Mikko asked Pekka, who then asked his cousin Tero to
take care of the bass.
The lack of a drummer bothered the band for a while,
until the guys found Eerik from a band play in highschool
and decided to ask him to join. Now with a full group of
four the quartet started to write owns songs. By the power
and influence of Metallica & Nirvana they were able to put
together a couple of "songs". Combining Pekka´s killer riffs,
Eerik´s outstanding drumming skills, and Teros bass tunes
into this, Renoises first songs were now ready.
For a couple of years the boys concentrated in practicing,
song making and staying hidden from everybody. When year
2005 came the band felt like they were ready to perform
for a live audience.
First gig was at Klubi, tampere 17th of may 2005 in a
theatre/band evening called the "Rock Royale Rock Show"
(put a by Chris with his former band Rock Royale)
After their first gig, Renoise recorded a demo and by that
it was time to take a vacation for the summer. 2005 Renoise
spent lots of time at festivals,partying and travelling
around in the summer of Finland. At the end of 2005 Mikko
wanted to concentrate more on the vocals, and Tero got more
interested in playing guitar, so Mikko handed out his guitar
to Tero.
By this, a void filled the band members hearts. For where
to find a new bass player? Guys had partied the whole summer
-05 with Chris, so it was a natural choice for them to sign
up him to take care of the bass.
In december of 2005 Chris resigned from his former band,
and moved fully to Renoise. Now one man stronger and wiser,
Renoise started to write new song, and for some reason the
piano got a very significant part in the music. So, now they
needed somebody to play the keyboards, and the decicion of
asking Saku was a natural thing to do, for he had mixed
Renoises gigs for a while.
Renoise was now formed.
Renoise now concentrated only in practicing and working
on their live performance. After this they moved on to
playing gigs as much as they just could.
In september 2007 Renoise went through new changes when their guitarist Tero left the band due to personal reasons.
Now working as a 5 man crew, renoise headed into new challenges and stages...
