13. How would you define "success" for the band? Success is achieved when there are people who really enjoy your music, when people enjoy hearing you live. If you play your own-written music and can tour consistently, then your band has succeeded. Financially I would say it is that if you can make enough money to cover the costs with the band, hah. I think we are on the edge of success... It depends on many things and which scale do you use. 14. What do you guys do to relax? Nor mal stuff... We chill out and try to forget normal daily routines and hurries. Best way is to escape city life somewhere on the countryside. 15. What sets you guys apart from all the other bands out there? It's impossible to be totally apart from other bands but we have an album what will offer atmospheric, strong and beautiful moments to its listeners. I think we sound even better live than on the album, that's one very positive thing. 16. What is the craziest thing that has ever happened to you at a show? Crazy moments have been rare; all shows have been quite stable. Best moments are when the crowd is singing so loud that you can hear through all playing, it feels fantastic. Well, one time I had to strip my shirt off because audience demanded it so many times that Hannu said "Take it off, or we won’t start next song." I think the craziest shows are about to come... 17. Who spends the most time in front of the Mirror? No one really spends much time in front of a mirror. We look / dress very normal. Actually I'm some kind of a joke with my clothing to other band members. I pretty much just wear my normal clothes, and many times the guys have told me to change my clothes before a show or an interview etc. For example I use lots of orange, red and other colorful, casual clothes. I'm not into black clothes, jeans or chains. 18. Who is the biggest prankster? We are all as funny as boring. I think Hannu does the craziest stuff, or at least he has a pretty twisted sense of humor... 19. Anything else you would like to tell the world? Hmm...
