| Cessna
are a Finnish, Tampere based 4 piece band. Formed
in 1994, the band spent a couple of years
practicing in a basement before playing their
first gig in 1997. This was also the year that
released their 7” EP Holiday on Ice with US
lable Jigsaw and their double 3” CD
“Bordeaux” on the label Radio Khartoum.
Since then Cessna have released another
full-length album and a handful of singles and
EP's, mostly outside their native Finland. The
band is known for keeping a low profile and
having little interest in promoting themselves,
which has brought them a sort of a cult status in
the music scene of their home country. Cessna are
often referred to as the "Godfathers of
Finnish indiepop" The band consists of Jari
Hildén (Drums), Sami Rouhento (Guitar, Vocals),
Kimmo Sääskilahti (Bass Guitar) and Tomi Takala
(Guitar)
The 7” single "My Blue
Anglia" is bound to cement Cessna's place in
the international indiepop scene.
Elegant and eclectic, jangly and jazzy, its the
perfect record for spring and summer, driving
around with the windows open, the radio blaring,
singing along (or walking around town with
headphones on, singing outloud).
