We don’t know which should be the main subject of the post – the blog or the band – but for those of you who don’t know Uusi Fantasia, get to know their music. Reason: It’s beyond ok. Get to know here.

And then about the Off The Record blog and their latest post.

According to themselves:

“Off The Record is independent live music / short film video blog…Bands are invited to play short, mainly acoustic Off The Record session in some unique place such as bowling alley, museum, sailing boat, gym, market place cafeteria, sauna, fan’s apartment…”

Their latest post is pretty unarming.

It’s Uusi Fantasia playing live in a sports hall in Helsinki, with a Finnish old school singer Freeman. This time they sing in Finnish, but if you have limited skills with that, we think this might still be quite nice.

Great pics of classic Finnish design in Artek Open Archives. Have a look! Terrible flash-site unfortunately not loyal to the design principles of the company…
