I'm just curious to see if anyone has been to this Finnish surf music (/rockabilly?) festival or if they know anything about it. Someone pointed this out to me and said it's been going on for over twenty years and it's pretty big. Check under Kuvat for pics. I couldn't find any sound clips but then again I don't speak finnish.

My buddy in Finland told me about this festival but since
you know as much as I do I did not respond to the last post.
He mentioned that the participants are very loyal and devoted
to the genre. It is quite an undertaking to travel to one of these
shows especially you do not live nearby. You must be a "Certified Rautalanka" follower. (I see this as the Finnish equivilant to being a "Deadhead") Kidding, of course.
The Pipeline Festival would a similar event.
I sure would like to see the Mustangs someday
