"Finnish music magazine Soundi interviewed us in Budapest. Link."_ (Pic, Pic, Link) - ENG.~~~CITAZIONE Dead Letters successor Hide From The Sun was released in the fall of 2005. Eero: "When it's at its peak, it's a sensitive moment for the artist. That's when I was really annoyed when a magazine wrote that The Rasmus is a nice pop band. We weren't a pop band - at least not in our own mind. Before Hide From The Sun was made, it was a collective mood that now we're writing a rocky rock album." The tenth studio album by The Rasmus is likely to be released this fall. The machining is already in good shape. Aki: "We already had one training session in Spain and another one is due in January. Now we want to make songs in the style of the old union, because the interaction between us has done good things in the past. Let's play with each other and try and arrange new stuff on the fly." Pauli: "I was undoubtedly a little worried beforehand about whether we could make this 'old school band thing' work again. That we are still rocking and will we find 100% of our common chemistry? There was no need to worry because now the watch seems to have a whole new sound. Of course, this full-blown Dead Letters rundown has raised the spirits even further." Lauri: "Our vision for the future is very clear: next is the band sound. In fact, now that the guitar is out of fashion, such an approach feels damn fresh and inspiring!" 25.11.2019Post.

"Lauri Ylönen is designing celebrity design houses for the celebrity program: Toni Wirtanen and Jannika B, Mikko Kuustonen and Hanna Brotherus."Lauri Ylönen, the frontman of The Rasmus, has conquered the world over countless stages over the years. Two years ago, the creative artist expanded his expertise in residential design. On October 8th, the singer's new passion rises again with the launch of Design by Lauri on TV5 and Dplay. In the series, Laur's design table ends up with four very different projects and objects. Longtime friends, Actors Tommi Korpela and Kari Hietalahti dream of a modern getaway in the Kotka archipelago, which serves as a base for the duo's traditional fishing trips. The surprise is great when Lauri proposes a rather atypical solution. The focus of the houses varies from design to design to eco-friendliness and self-sufficiency, which is a challenge for Laurie as a designer. The musician seeks inspiration by visiting interesting architectural sites around the world, especially in Japan. As with writing new songs, the most interesting moment in home design is the design phase when the canvas is still empty. Design by Lauri TV5 Tuesdays 8.10. starting at 9pm. Also available on Dplay. ~~~Video.

"Lauri & Aki interviewed by Iltalehti."_ (Pic, Link) - ENG.CITAZIONE In the Shadows - the hit made the band international. The men vividly remember the story of the giant hit. Aki: "We were doing a soundcheck in Vaasa. The rest of us had eaten, and Lauri stayed in the stern. Guitarist Pauli Rantasalmi had a riff - an idea we started jamming with. Then this one (Ylönen) comes spaghetti in his mouth to say that he would have the perfect idea for the melody. The first version was assembled in a quarter." The men are clearly excited about the upcoming tour. Ylönen's anger turns to smile as he explains the plans he has already made. Lauri: "Even though it is a club tour, it has the feel of a stadium concert as it will be a spectacle. The concept is scripted from start to finish. Sure, there's room for maneuver." The Rasmus is currently working on a new album that is due out next year. It is followed by a live gig, which is better for musicians than anything else. Ylönen says he will be happy to play for the next 20 years if there is only a chance. Retiring soloist does not want to. Lauri: "We have played in about 70 countries, but there are many places that we have not been able to reach. There is still something to conquer." 9.8.2019Video. "Remember these magazine covers? #10weeksofDeadLetters."_ (Pic, Vid) CITAZIONE Post, Link. The first single by TR, '1st', was released in December 1995. To collect the money for it they had posted advertisements all around the city for Orange. The job was done at nights, with cold hands, and being afraid of policemen. In February 1996 Rasmus made a record-deal with multi-national giant-company The Warner. People in the festivals were going nuts about the trumpet-funk and got all exited about our own 'Red Hot Chili Peppers'. On 'Soundi' interview thet both did not like the comparisons to Red Hot Chili Peppers, because Eero though that they were better than them.. And Lauri, in a 'Rumba' interview said that they are better than the Beatles.. After the third album release 'Hell Of a Tester', the band was quiet a long time. The drummer changed. Aki Hakala who had earlier played with Kwan and Killer got to sit behind the drum-kit. He got comments about changing his place to a dieing band. Lauri got mad. "I was like I will show them, f*** it, lets do some new songs. When we got a new deal, it restored the self-confidence." With the new deal he means a contract with a Swedish-record company, the Playground Music. That was the turning point of the Rasmus. The band added the 'the' to their band name and simplified their music, decided to concentrate on the things they were good at, strong melodies based with rock. Behind our backs is Suutarila's wastehill, that is also one of the important places in Lauri's youth. Lauri tells how he made a nostalgic Suutarila-tour with his friend Esa. "The most real and genuine people live here. I've met half-familiar people a lot. They're usually nice company for a short while but I haven't gotten many real new friends during the past ten years." According to Teja Kotilainen, Lauri has build even thicker wall around himself after the band started to succeed. He says it's difficult for Lauri to trust new people. Lauri tells he has been previously too gullible and trusting. "There is a lot of double-dealing. You feel you can't tell anyone too much about your dreams. I have become more careful. It would be good to be more forgiving." Basist Eero Heinonen is putting his equipment together in the recording room. He's about to start his own part. It's almost six o'clock. The Rasmus' work moral is tough, they come to the studio at 9 am and they won't leave before six or seven pm. "In the evenings we have usually eaten candy and went to bed at 9:30 or 10 pm. Really rock 'n' roll!" Edited by *ICE* (The Polar Bear)™ - 4/6/2020, 19:47
