Yesterday we had a rocking rehearsal! We haven't played together since April. Migis and Tommy embarked in a drunken WrestleMania-like action in the afterparty of a friend's wedding and Migis' ankle was totally broken. Migis have been playing for about 3 weeks after the plaster was taken off and I couldn't tell the difference yesterday. Yay!
We have couple more gigs coming up. I'll add more info about them a bit later.
Tommy gave me yesterday the 2-channel audio-part of the DVD-material to listen to. I haven't had time to listen to it yet but I might upload some songs from it here so keep your eyes open and fingers crossed.
We have also decided to contact some labels as we have now very high confidence that we are ready to record our first album.
hi-ho mo-fo,

I updated the AUDIO-page with some mp3-links and I also added the video of ELECTRIC SHOES. I hope you like it!
We'll play the gig tomorrow at Virrat and it will be properly recorded and filmed with 5 cameras so the live DVD will follow later this year!
more to come,
Tomi & EB

Hi ho! The gig came and went and we had fun with the other guys and gals! Thanks for Maija for arranging the whole thing. Hopefully we'll be able to go back to Tampere soon.
New gig at Virrat is being arranged. It will be recorded and filmed so there will be "an official" live video around some time soon.
The video is finally ready and it was aired in Finnish SUBTV couple of times. People seem to like the video. I'll try to put it online as soon as possible and I'll try to find some way to put the MP3s online too soon. Maybe all of them if we have enough space.
'til then,
Tomi & EB

Long time no hear once again. Not much happening here. During the Christmas vacation we were able to rehearse quite well and we made 5-6 new songs. Huh! They're once again a lot more heavier stuff. We've talked about recording some songs again so maybe you'll be able to hear the constipation we have due to the non-existent rehearsals. :)
Some new gigs coming up too. Check here.
I saw almost ready version of the video. It looked excellent! The video _should_ be ready soon and I'll upload it here as soon as possible.
Last night me, Tommy and Migis were at the Tavastia club in Helsinki at the concert where played Monster Magnet, The Quill and Gluecifer. We missed The Quill but the other bands rocked like hell! Had beer and fun. Cool!

Hola! The gig at Lahti was great. Hopefully we'll get to play there again soon as quite a few people missed our gig 'cause we played so early. I'll be adding photos from the gig soon.
The video is ready I heard. It will be placed somewhere on the internet for your pleasure but I don't know anything sure yet. You'll be informed.

I added some pictures from Fuzz&Fight gig at Kouvola as promised. Pics were taken by Samuli. Rock on! [here]
111103
Great show at Kouvola last Friday. Thanks guys! Disgrace rocked like hell and so did we. Met some really cool people and had lots of fun... and beer. I'll be adding some photos from the gig as soon as possible... me being gawdamn lazy doesn't help with the updates. But soon baby!
301003
I added some pictures from the video shoot. I'll add more when I'll get them from the video-team. [Click here]

Yeah, we played a gig at Lappeenranta's youth center Monari. Had fun and rocked like hell. It was great practise for those upcoming "more serious" gigs at Kouvola and Lahti. And the songs felt like brand new after such long break not playing them.
... and the last I've heard the video is in the editing phase at the moment.
300603
The video was shot during weekend. Big hand and thanks to all the dudes and dudettes of NalleVisio, foxes Linda & Maija, and all the people who showed up in the "festival" shoot despite the shitty weather. THANKS!!! Director-man said that the video will be ready in August.
We had to cancel the Virtaa 2003 -gig because of the timing problems. Sorry!
160603
Long time no read! But here we go again! New stuff is still under making but it will be readied soon, believe me. :)
We're going to shoot a music video for the new track "Electric Shoes" during a weekend 27th - 29th of this ongoing June. I also added some upcoming gigs to the GIGS-section.
150103
Heavy New Year everybody! Some interesting news from EB-camp: we went into a studio and recorded 4 new songs last weekend!
Those are excellent, groovy and melodic songs that we came up with. Not that "stoned" anymore, but still excellent. Some
discussions with some record labels are going on and I'm pretty sure we'll get a deal with these new songs. They just rock!
011002
I added one gig in Lappeenranta. We'll rock and drink beer with old friends
Malakias. Will be fun!
230902
Yeah, our gig at Kickstart Festival in Jyv�skyl� last friday was very good.
Unfortunately we were the first band to play so not too big a crowd was there
to witness our show, but anyways we played very well and were told that we
really rocked. We sold all the demo CD-Rs we took with us (40). So people must
have liked our music. :)
We met some very cool people while we were there. The swedish mofos were
great (Dozer and Greenleaf, Cheers Danny and Reetu!). XYSMA rocked like hell
and were fun to hang out with... I tried to encourage them to make another
heavy XYSMA album. Hopefully they'll make at least one!!!
What other news there are in EB camp at the moment... Some new songs have been
made (and 2 of them played at the gig) but we've been pretty busy in other activities
lately. We're starting to play more gigs and some will be announced soonish... We
are also looking for somebody to handle our gig selling (we are too lazy guys to do
that ourselves, we really need somebody to push us forward).
280502
I've had some difficulties to connect to net so no updates. Sorry about that.
Well actually there hasn't been much happening in EB camp lately. Migis is living in Helsinki and Tommi in Virrat so
our rehearsing time has been very short. But now this forthcoming weekend guys are coming to Lappeenranta for the summer
so we'll have lots of time to rehearse new (and old) songs. Some more gigs are coming up and some info on the Kickstart
festival also added to the gigs-section.
220202
Yes, it's been a while once again. We played the gig and it was quite good. We played some new songs and some old tunes;
the set lasted about half an hour. We met one dude who was interested in releasing possibly our 7" vinyl. We'll see if
that leads to something. :)=
New songs are going to be rehearsed this weekend. Yay! We haven't rehearsed since the christmas week so it's about a time! Cool!
By the way, I still haven't sent out any promo packs... Bad me!!!
131201
Huh! No updates in a long time. The gig in Joensuu's Bar 68 was pretty good. We met cool guys and drank lots of beer.
Our visit to Helsinki's Stella Star seems to be cursed! First time it was double booked and weekend before last weekend,
when we were supposed to play, the place was forced to stop having live music due to excessive noise. :/ Damn!
We're now trying to get a gig somewhere else in Helsinki.
Some gigs are definately coming up and I'll post the dates as soon as they're sure.
We're also sending some demoCDs out soon. If you're interested in getting the demo, contact us!
231001
As you can see from the gigs-section some upcoming gigs are announced. More are coming up.
We haven't rehearsed too much lately as Migis moved to Helsinki. We've been able to make some new songs, though.
Also the new demo is almost ready. Promo-copies will be sent out soon.
180901
Happy birthday to me...
Yes, we're in the middle of doing some mastering on the new recordings. Hopefully the songs will be ready by the end of this
week.
We were checking out some excellent bands in Jyv�skyl�'s own Kickstart indoor festival last weekend. We had fun, drank lots
of alcohol filled drinks, and made few new friends. So it was a success. Most of the bands were great but I can mention
some bands that truly impressed me: The Awesome Machine, Flaming Sideburns, Disgrace, Sunride, Devillac, Sweatmaster...
Oh, dear, it must have been the best festival I have attended, if thinking of bands, as they all were my favourite bands...
\m/
Also some gig-news coming up. We've been in talks with Disgrace about arranging some kind of a mini-tour through southern
Finland later this year. Some cities include Lappeenranta, Lahti, Jyv�skyl�, Helsinki and Kouvola (maybe more). If you're
interested getting us to play in your city don't be affraid to get in touch! And if you play in a band in those cities get
in touch for possible inclusion to the roster. Mail.

Yes, after some InterNjet difficulties everything seems to work ok for now.
The gigs were quite okay. The first gig in Turku was (in my opinion) great and we had much fun afterwards. Met some cool
dudes and made some impressions. :) Seems that we're going back there soon.
Due to some shitty circumstances (my car breaking down, etc.) I was really pissed when the gig in Lappeenranta
started. Though the gig went pretty well I was kinda disappointed afterwards... and we did use only 30 mins of the 45
allocated. I just hoped we had played a bit later...
The recordings are proceeding pretty well. We're in the middle of recording the vocals. Yesterday we recorded vocals for 3
songs. We have recorded 7 songs ("Punk", Straight To Hell, Horse Trance Dance, 666 mph, "Power", Sandman's Revolution, and
"Triole"). We're going to send some CD-Rs around after we have mixed the shit.
240701
Some more gigs coming up. Check out the GIGS-section. We have also started rehearsing a little more
lately and the songs are starting to rock. We have decided to record some stuff during August. Let's see how that will turn
out.
120701
Sorry I haven't updated the pages in a long time... Nothing too drastic happening with the band lately.
Some new songs finished even though we have rehearsed quite scarcely. We have planned recording the songs with
16 channel tape machine so it should sound quite good... Hopefully we'll start recording the songs soon, but it
might take some time...
Oh, we have some gigs coming up; 11th Aug in Lappeenranta and maybe on 10th in Turku, but that's not sure yet. I'll
keep you posted.
090401
TERE! The gig was quite good last Saturday at the Fuzz&Fight Festival. The sounds were great on stage and in the
audience too (we were told). We also got the gig video-ed so maybe we'll be able to put something here...
The bad thing about
the gig was this dude who did the most stupid thing; there was this big window between the dining part of the
restaurant/bar and the place where the band played, and this asshole threw a fucking bench through the window.
The glass exploded everywhere and GLADLY nothing bad happened, only the snare head broke. Now thinking of the whole
thing gives me shivers as Migis (the drum-dude) could/should have been hit by the flying glass and if he did what the
fuck could have happened!?! I'm glad we didn't meet the guy who did it and I'm sure he's glad too... FUCKER! Ok,
enough of that.
We met some really cool dudes there and got to play some new songs in live situation. Seems that we're steering in the
right course. People seemed to like our brand of heavy rock'n'roll. :)
Ok, I'll be adding some more news soon about forthcoming gigs and whatnot... ROCK ON!
200301
HELLO! Nothing big happening at the moment. We're starting to rehearse more in a week or so. We've been making
new songs and they seem to be a lot heavier than the previous ones. \m/ We have about 10 new songs quite ready and
with the best songs from the past we should be able to compile good full-lenght record.
Maybe we'll record something for YOUR pleasure during spring.
130201
CHEERS! I updated the pages and moved them to STONERROCK.COM. I appreciate any feedback
([email protected]).
New songs are being done all the time. Some gigs also coming up (will be announced in the
GIGS-section). We have also somehow managed to resolve the rehearsal place problem; we're moving
today to our friends' reh. room we've been rehearsing lately... :) Thanks to Ismo!
290101
HIGH! The gig is in the past now, it went quite ok. Nice evening altogether! Even though we don't
have new reh.place we've been able to rehearse in our friends' place couple of times a month. Thanks to
them! We've been able to make new songs and we're anxiously waiting to record them. We have thought of
recording them with the 8-tracker, but we have also talked about entering a studio to record some stuff.
We'll see if we can stir some label-interest with "sunchaser".
100101
Some reviews added to the AUDIO-section. I'll add the cover picture there soon too. Also the gig on 27th
is also confirmed. We'll play there with surf rockers theVERTICALS, punkers BONKERS and
Inis. Should
be a great night!
041200
The gig is in the past and went extremely well. Met some cool people and audience went
"bonkers" ( :) ) during our set. Grreat! Hopefully we'll get more gigs to
Helsinki. We're are also planning to play in Turku, Lahti, Joensuu and Jyv�skyl� in near
future. So watch out!
Oh, by the way... the demo is ready and released and will be sent to various instances
around the world. You may soon download some songs from
http://mp3.com/ElephantBell but
of course we would appreciate more you buing the CD from us. Check the shop.
221100
We're going to play in Factory in Helsinki with Bonkers on 1st Dec. Come there and rock with us!

Back from seeing MONSTER MAGNET in Stockholm Sweden. What a gig!!! Rock orgasm! The whole trip consisted
of lots of booze and rock'n'roll.
We have pushed the mixing back a couple of days. But soon babys, soon!
081100
Hellos again! I'm feeling a bit hungover at the moment as the gig went alright
and the drinking session after too. Thanks to all who came and rocked with us!
We're going to mix some of the songs tomorrow so you'll just wait a little longer!
011100
Cheers! Now something concrete is happening. We have gig on 7th November and Tommi
will start recording the vocals on the tape on friday. So next week I'll be able to put
some songs online... :) Finally, one might say.
091000
Well, it has been a while once again... The vocals are quite ready to be
recorded soon. I know it has been more than couple of weeks already but we
really don't want to rush this thing. Only negative side to this delay is
that some of the recorded songs have already changed quite a bit. Well,
this IS only a demo so when we'll record the final versions of the songs
you'll get something new, right?! :)
Oh, yeah. GROOVE ON!
040900
Oh yeah! It's been a while. The basic tracks of the demo have been now
mixed down... and they sound great! The vocals should be recorded in
couple of weeks (?)... You'll be informed! :)
Yes, more news here too. We've been now rehearsing with a BASSPLAYER. His
name's Arto and the stuff sounds great with him. He's our loooong time
friend and we've played with him (in other projects) for 5 years so it's
not a big suprise he works so well with us.
010800
The band recorded 6 (66?) songs during the weekend. The songs are still
without vocals but all other stuff is recorded. And let me tell you IT
SOUNDS HEAAVVYYY! Hopefully the recording of the vocals (takes place
in couple of weeks) will go as smoothly as the recording of the other
stuff went...
I'll let you people know when the "tape" is ready. I'll add the
samples and other info then, too.
060700
I added the guestbook today. You'll find it at the contact-page. Leave all your messages there,
thanks!
I'll be able to post some of the song names the band is rehearsing. Keep
checking here regularly... I might add some demo-versions of the songs to
the audio-page... But we'll see about that later. KEEP ROCKING!

Yesterday evening was a great rehersal for the band. 6 songs were recorded
with 2 mics and a cassette deck for the band to figure out some
arrangements and stuff like that. The tape ROCKS!
The band has had a serious problem because Migis' ear fucked up. He still
misses 60dBs in right ear compared to the left one, but gladly he can
play. The doctor said loud music hasn't caused it but some kind of a hole
in the ear and that he can play the drums if he wants to, and that's
something he REALLY wants.

ONLINE!
Today I received mail from Dan of StonerRock.com telling
me that hosting new band sites isn't possible at the moment so I'm
thinking of taking come.to (or similar) address for now. I have to
check back with Dan in couple of weeks...
120600
I've done lots of work for the website recently. They're starting too look
quite good so hopefully I'm able to put them online soon.
