Skip the tan lines

Caught PMMP on their first night of a back-to-back in Tavastia yesterday.

Missed My First Band, the warm-up, completely. The startup time was in the ballpark, waiting for fifteen minutes was by no means painful, even if the sold-out premises were warmed up and occasionally steaming.

The show was as energetic as expected, the year-long absence from the stage must have left a lot of pent-up energy to vent.

Didn’t recognize all the songs, and even missed the name of the one new song played.

Here’s the entire setlist, courtesy of the band’s message board:

Hyvin hiljaa
Kovemmat kädet
Valitusvirsi
Ikuinen leikki
Matkalaulu
Matoja
Mummola
Joutsenet
Joku raja
Kiitos
Oo siellä jossain mun
Niina
Taiteilia
Kesäkaverit
Päät soittaa
//
Päiväkoti
Kohkausrock

The biggest hit of the band thus far is curiously absent from the list. Maybe today’s selection is different. Maybe not. They did, however, play the two songs I really wanted to hear. Even when faced with the prospect of losing my reputation as a tungsten-hearted metalhead, I found the matkalaulu/oo siellä jossain mun duo touching, as usual.
