Osmo's very own hompege is online!
Please have look at www.osmoikonen.com
--------------------
 
Osmo is back from his vacation and he brought some news for you:

First, he is working on his third album and it's getting together piece by piece.
Secondly, his „old“ song has been very successfull in England. After the release of „Heaven or Hell“ in Germany last year, the single did very well at the English charts. His second album is waiting to be released in the UK.
Moreover, „Change“ is planned to be launched there, too and promotion will be started within the next weeks.
And finally, Osmo is gonna have his very own homepage! There you will find current news and gigs. When the homepage is online, we'll let you know.

His family project „The Northern Governors“ where Osmo plays bass are gonna release their first album this spring. It will be out in stores on 28th of March and it is available on spotify and itunes on 23th of March. Go and get it!

The guys will do some shows, e.g. Pori Jazz where Norah Jones is also on stage or at Kaunas Jazz in Lithuania.

For the Sunrise Avenue fans, Osmo will be replaced at the show in Brussels by Heikki Puhakainen. Heikki has been covering for him several times before when Osmo can't be there himself. Heikki also has his own band called „My first band“ who will be support Sunrise Avenue in Hamburg.

Osmo is also gonna play in the houseband for the tv-show "The Voice of Finland" from March onwards.
That's why he is just able to play the keys for Sunrise Avenue in Finland at the shows in Turku on 22th of March and Helsinki on 24th of March. All the other gigs will be done by Heikki.

Last but not least, unfortunately Osmo's Myspace account has been hacked like on Facebook. The hacker wrote mails in Osmo's name and deleted his account. Damn, idiot!
