Hey people!
The blog has been kind of inactive - facebook is a good way to communicate in several ways, but i guess it is destroying the diversity on the internet. In real life, however, we have not been inactive.
-Bassplayer Axel nowadays live in Göteborg, Sweden, so we are looking at some springtime touring options over there. So if you attended our last gig in Turku, "Saatananpalvelu ja juoputtelua vol.1" (=devil worship & drinking) you could see us rock out with our stand-in bassist and friend Andy!
-Our debut album "The Slowerdrive Tapes" was well received and the first 100 are almost sold out. We are planning a vinyl release with new material next year. Probably some smaller release will happen before that - we usually act fast once we get to it!
-We moved to a new rehearsal space, with the mighty bands Kirk Grim and Shitboot. (Check them out!)
-We are now a registered company, and working with Skaapa booking to gig more all over Finland. Playing live is the thing we love most, and even these few "slow" months have made us impatient. 29.11 we are supporting Mars Red Sky (FRA) at Turun Klubi with Reactor. After that we hope to bring the Craneium roadshow to other towns! Wuh! See you around.
The album is now streaming at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x71TIMPQStc

New gig announced!
Hi Yall (would be cool if that was someones' actual name)!
We will be supporting our friends in Mangoo (Small Stone Recordings) at Leipätehdas, Vaasa, Finland on Fri. 8th of February! We played at their album release last spring too, which was amazing so we're crazy hyped!
Here's a link to the FB-event:

In other news: Axel has finally pulled his thumb out of his ass and ordered a nice 'ol Fakenbacker bass guitar.
See you soon and don't forget to listen to our stuff!

A new year
Hi Yall!
So, a new year is here once again, and another one is behind us. For us last year was special because it was our first real year as a band, and what a year it was! We've played way more gigs than we thought we would, in places and venues we didn't think we were ready for. Our second gig ever was abroad, and even though we could have saved that one for later, since we've evolved so much, we don't regret anything! We've played at Klubi in Turku three times, two on the big stage and one on the smaller stage, and we got to go to Helsinki's Bar Loose in the last minute. It feels great to have been able to see some places outside our own town during our first year in existence!
It took some time but before Christmas we released our first demo, "The SloWerdrive Tapes" (found on this site under"music") which has been listened to more times than we could ever have hoped for. I think that 2012 was the year when we laid the groundwork for Craneium, when we slowly progressed towards our own sound and image.
2013 has a lot to bring us that we don't know about yet, but we´re looking forward to it. We have plans to release an EP on 10" 45rpm vinyl (odd size is odd), if we manage to collect the funds for it. We are also planning on throwing our own club night, "Åbo Church of Doom" at Klubi, and we are looking for bands to invite to play with us. Stay updated by liking and following us on facebook and twitter
Here are the songs on our first demo. Listen and enjoy!
