No news is good news they say. What about old news then... "I can honestly tell you that this is some of the best work I've heard from a relatively unknown band since The Penniless People of Bulgaria released Velocity." It sure is nice to set some standards!.

Penniless gratulerar Radio X3M som idag fyller 5 år. Save Sommarbarnet i dig, så blir resten av livet en dans på radiovågor, så sant som det är skrivet.

Today, Wednesday 9.10.2002, a Penniless video is shown on Viva, check it out! On Monday 14.10.2002 Pekka is interviewed on Brainticket - sometime between 10pm-12pm local time. Go and get the "stream of consciousness".

Tracks from Anola are popping up here & there on German radio playlists - still, 4 months after the album release. And tv channel VIVA (Fast Forward) has Imbecile the video on the run s.t.s.

Still happy happenings in Germany. Pekka was spokesman for Penniless in a Rolling Stone feature in September. Black Crows has been flying high on a playlist at MDR Sputnik for 8 weeks now. And US magazine Popmatters has pointed out that Penniless really matters over there too.

Wenn eine Sängerin nur mit Gardinen bekleidet in einem Video völlig wild und gleichzeitig erotisch vor sich hin sirent, dann ist das entweder Courtney Love oder QUEEN ADREENA. "Pretty Like Drugs" bekommt von uns den Newcomerpreis und ist zweites Video neben den fantastischen Penniless aus Finnland. Letztere sind für uns die Reinkarnation von Nirvana mit kalifornischer Sonne. Eine Offenbarung sind MUSTASCH im Interview, die neue Schweinerockhoffnung aus Skandinavien. Von dieser Band werdet ihr noch viel hören! Nachzuprüfen im Livemitschnitt der Band!...

Penniless has a design for life - just read it in this Manchester magazine! And if you are fast enough you can get a great tip here (sounds good)!

Lately Penniless have been giving interviews to German music mags and to bigger and smaller daily papers. Rolling Stone did put Imbecile on the July sampler, and another German magazine, Visions, followed up by choosing Black Crows for it's sampler. This first Anola track has also attracted some Swiss radio stations. On Saturday Penniless appeared on the Swedish festival Trästock, smashing well, and a small note in the band's guest book doesn't contradict this official statement.

Anola is out in Germany and neighbouring countries and kicking well. The German Rolling Stone magazine has featured "London hit" Imbecile on a sampler together with songs performed by names like The Flaming Lips, Doves, Joseph Arthur, Wilt, Ikara Colt, Guided By Voices etc. Rolling Stone and Bravo are some of the bigger reviewers, and Rolling Stone will also speak with Pekka Penniless in its August number. TV channel Onyx has decided to show Imbecile the video. Stand by for more pennies...

Anola

Anola got a fairly good review in Kerrang! last year, and now when Kerrang! is reported to be the biggest weekly music magazine on this planet, that review glows if possibly a little bit more.

Rumban toimittajien, avustajien jne. mielipiteet Anolasta olivat tällä kertaa (hämmästyttävän?!) samantapaiset kuin lehden lukijoiden: ensiksimainittu raati piti albumia 19. parhaana kotimaisena vuonna 2001 ja "kansan syvät rivit" 20. parhaana. Tsekkaa rumbaväen valinnat täältä.

P.S. Imbecile the video on käynyt kakkospallilla FST'n (Yle) Nordiska Videolistanilla.
