UUSI ALBUMI! WE’RE BACK!

Ilmoitamme täten riemastuneina Don Johnson Big Bandin viidennen studioalbumin Fiesta ilmestyvän perjantaina 28.9.2012!

Levyn ensimmäinen sinkku Living The Life pärähtää radioihin ja nettiin jo elokuun puolivälissä. Albumin julkaisupäivänä starttaa Helsingin Tavastialta myös jouluun asti jatkuva kiertue, jonka ensimmäiset vahvistetut keikkapäivät on listattu Tour-osioon. Ja kuten varmaan huomasitkin, upouudet nettisivut on myös julkaistu tänään.

Tuleva albumi on jo herättänyt laajalti kiinnostusta suomalaisessa musiikkikentässä ja ulkomaisten supertähtien keskuudessa:

We’re absolutely bananas to be able to inform you that the fifth Don Johnson Big Band studio album “Fiesta” will be released on 28 September 2012. FOR REAL!

The first single off the album is called “Living The Life” and it’s hitting the airways and internetz in mid-August. A new video for the song is also in the works. The album will be followed by a ton of tour dates beginning at Helsinki’s Tavastia Klubi on the day of the release.

And as you might be able to gather, we’ve also got our brand new website up and running. Hope you like it! It’s fresh off the Web Designers’ fingertips – so if you run into any glitches, feel free to inform us (at info@donjohnsonbigband.com)!

The new album is already creating mad buzz among a host of Finnish and International artists! Check out the video above! (Most of it is in Finnish, but you’ll probably get the picture.)

Rip It Up LIVE (in the Metro!)

26/02/13

The good folks at Luomustudio recently asked us to pick a tune from our latest album, strip it down to bare essentials, and then perform it for them on camera in a location of our choice. So we asked the amazing Petteri Sariola to grab his mom’s upright bass, got the incredible Tuomo Prättälä to hop on a train from Pori after a late night show, and dragged the young rhyming master Noah Kin out of bed on a lazy Sunday afternoon – and did this.

Rip It Up feat. Noah Kin, Tuomo & Petteri Sariola ORGANIX STYLE. On the Helsinki Metro! (Where else would Father Metro & his posse go?) We think it came out great. And no, music isn’t allowed to be played on the trains, and yes, we were notified about causing a disturbance. So sorry, we won’t do it again! Check out the end result right here:

RIP RIP RIP RIPPITUUUP!
