MUSTAN KUUN LAPSET BIOGRAPHY
HISTORY:
The band was found in Hollola, Finland 1993 with line up Kari kinnunen (bass), Mikko Hautala (drums), Pete Lehtinen (voc, guitars), Pete Tamminen (guitars). The first release was a demo called "...Kunnes Loppuu Yö" (limited 100 copies).
It included three songs, one of them was played on the Finnish national radio.
The second demo called "Varjomaa" was published in 1997, thirteen months after the first one (limited 150 copies). After the release MKL had some contacts with distributors and record companies, but no deals were done, therefore an idea to make a self financed sd was born.
The "Prologi" self-produced mini cd was published in December 1998 and it included four + one bonus tracks. 1,5 months after the release over 200 copies of the "Prologi" mini cd had been sold almost without any advertising. Soon after that all 500 copies were sold. MKL signed a deal with Nocturnal Music (Italy) for reprint of "Prologi". Re-produced "Prologi" was published in December 1999 and NM proposed another release deal which MKL approved. A year after that, in December 2000, split cd with another Finnish band came public and co-operation with NM ended.
In February 2001 MKL recorded their first full-length album called "Suruntuoja". After a half year brake the band found a new publisher; Northern Sound Records (Finland). The album was released in the autumn 2002. In spring 2003 MKL recorded second full-length album called "Kauniinhauta". The album was released in the autumn 2003 by NSR.
Kai Hanninen joined MKL in the beginning of 2004 to replace Kari Kinnunen, who resigned in the autumn 2003. Hanninen is also known as the lead singer of punk act Olotila and a quitarist in the black metal band Acabó El Silencio. In summer 2004 MKL signed a deal with Roihu Records (Finland) to release the third album "Talvenranta" in spring 2005.
