HAYWALKERS IN KALLIO BLOCK PARTY

This blogger has been writing about Haywalkers before, and I finally managed to catch them live during Kallio Block Party , a huge party with dozens of bands playing on three different stages and in clubs along one street in Kallio district in Helsinki for one day and night. Fredi (ESC 1967, 1974) was there, too, btw. He lead the opening parade singing his evergreen and Kallio's national anthem Kolmatta linjaa takaisin (translates freely to Walking back the 3rd street ), and this year it was Kolmas linja (or 3rd street) hosting the event. Eva & Manu were there, too, let's get back to Haywalkers . This band has been gaining popularity quickly and no wonder. They are charmingly cute alive playing a mix of music that can only make you feel good: country, blues, indie Americana - whatever that is, as I'm a bit limited to Eurovision key changes and ding dongs. Whatever it is I like it!   Their set of 12 original songs was very entertaining giving them all moments...

WklVids: Betty Dittrich, Haywalkers, Malika Ayane, Falco Luneau

This week we have a Finnish up and coming band Haywalkers with their When the war is over featuring almost the only miniskirted/dressed drummer in the world, Semira K. Then Swedish born Betty Dittrich than should have won the German national selection for Eurovision 2013 with LaLaLa . Then from Sanremo Malika Ayane with Niente , the other song that didn't make the final. And from Austria, Falco Luneau with Rise above the night , my favorite that didn't win. Of course.
