Meh, just got a reply, we won't get it due to some legal issues:


Shame.


Not only you, I checked that already after I watched the interview on livestream, Maturefurk=Futuremark were easy to catch even if I don't understand Finnish yet


yeah, me too Thanks.

And for those who aren't that much into this stuff: everything in the video runs in realtime on a computer that was released in 1987.

I also contacted the Assembly organisation and the answer I got was that all rights to that live stream concert are behind Poets. So if we want the gig to be uploaded to youtube, it should be asked from the band.

That was a fun interview! Thanks for translating DSoL. Those interviewers forgot to put on their shoes that day

And now here is another one! We finally have part 3 of Oscar Benjamin's interview/article with Marko! I see something in there I really like and I hope it comes to pass! Enjoy!

Oscar Benjamin's article part 3

And in case you didn't see them, here are parts 1 & 2 as well.

Part one

Part two

Thank you for translating DSoL, it was fun to read it. I also watched the the interview, even though I couldn't understand a word exept the Futuremark thing. But I love to listen to their voices. I wondered about how much Capu said in this one. Loved it to hear him speak quite a lot.

Thank you for the link Tobyanca! Loved reading that last part as well.

My dog surely wants to have a companion.



Thank you very much for translating the interview, DSoL. I loved reading it.

That had me smiling and laughing for quite some time today Thank you for the link!

@ DSoL: thank you for the translation. It was really funny to read =)

thanks Tobyanca!!

Great article, but there's one funny error: the date of the picture (mouseover to see it) should be August 1, not January 8. I know this website uses the non-American date format dd.mm.yyyy which explains the error, but the funny thing is that Marko would be freezing if he was performing outdoors in Finland in January dressed like that.

Thank you Admin I will message Oscar for the correction. That is pretty fummy

Thanks again, DSoL! (What gamer doesn't know Megaman???)

My thoughts exactly... but everyone who would like to try it, you can play it here:
http://virtualnes.com/list/m.html Just click on whichever Megaman game you want to play. I like Megaman 2 the best, cos I don't die right away.
Sorry for off topic.

Ok the date is fixed. Marko no longer has to freeze!

Thanks DSOL! Awesome! Those crazy guys.........

I am not a gamer, but I love graphics and love it when someone has such imagination! Lapuus is great! Reminded me of the movie "Dark City," but I don't know too many people who have watched it or even liked it. It's one of my favorite movies.

Hallo! A few pictures and some comments from Marko & Captain (in Finnish) - http://metrolive.fi/kuvat/artikkeli/9834/suomalaisyhtye-valloittaa-maailmaa-nyt/

I would translate it but I don't have time for that right now, so if anyone wants to, be my guest!

Hey, here's a news article from RedBerg FB page. It's about Poets' tour in India. In case the link doesn't work, here's another one.

Cradles in Love, hmm...

^ whoa, quite enthusiastic article about Poets!

And nice pics

i so love to see all of them ^^
Funny interview - thanks a lot DSOL.

Is there a video with translation to English?

@potftruth you can read translation here, just one page back.

And while I'm already here: 2 little Indian interviews with Marko 1 & 2

"And this year’s show will be recorded by VH1 and will be telecast later."

I certainly hope some kind soul will record this. *makes puppy dog eyes*

hehe, I actually referred to a video with subbed text in English
Ow well, Thanks a bunch!

I can be your guest, thanks for the invitation.

A Finnish band is conquering the world – they’re now touring in India!
Poets of the Fall-singer’s climbing caused some excitement during Weekend Festival

The Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall performed on the main stage just before the British guest Hurts at Espoo Weekend Festival last Saturday (August 18th). Metrolive.fi talked to the singer Marko Saaresto and the keyboardist Markus Kaarlonen as the August Festival evening was turning to dusk. The band seemed to enjoy their summer evening show and moved energetically around the stage excluding the few slow songs when they calmed down.

Saaresto got inspired to some more trickery and climbed high up along the stage structure for the duration of half a song. The fans followed up with astonishment and attempted to catch the moment with their mobile phone cameras.

So, how does singing and climbing at the same time work for Marko?
-In a really damn concentrated way so that my grip won’t slip. Security started to take away the sharpest objects from under there so that I don’t die if I fall, Marko laughs.
-Marko has climbed stage structures before. You try to look out for him a little bit, to see that monkey man stays up there, Markus continues.

On early Tuesday morning (August 21st) Poets of the Fall left for India where the band has five shows during one week. The country is already familiar from a couple of previous visits. What the best and the worst thing about going to India?
-It’s fun to go to India, it feels like an adventure. An internal little devious boy with a messy hair wakes up in me, ready to go. You can spend hours and hours on eating, because the food is so good. I like the climate too, you don’t need really need a winter coat over there. Oh, and the fact that the gigs will be about the size of a small festival, Marko lists.
-Yeah, the food’s good and I like the people. But for me the climate is a bit too hot and the distances a little too long, Markus ponders.

Saaresto confesses to be a person who at times needs privacy and peace. How can that be managed in India, where people want to help you with everything?
-In general getting your own peace, sleep and food when you need it is sometimes a little difficult on tour because of interviews and all the other fuss. You have to make time for these things already when the tour is being booked, Marko explains.
Poets have already played in Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Estonia this year. In November there is an upcoming tour of six shows in Germany. Some of the venues there had to be changed for larger ones because the concerts sold out.

Thanks for the translation DSoL

2 more Indian interviews: 1 & 2

EDIT: one more: 3

Thanks again DSoL and serinde. This was great to read.

Thanks DSOL and thanks serinde!

Here's some more interviews (that were particularly easy to find, because Poets just posted them on FB. But I thought maybe someone might have missed it). There you go

The Asian Age, New Delhi: http://on.fb.me/PLZdOl
Rolling Stone India: http://bit.ly/P0X2mc
Daily Mail Online India: http://bit.ly/ObF0BD
Indian Express: http://bit.ly/P7xIAw
Bangalore Mirror: http://bit.ly/ORSSgz

And that means I didn't have to look for them in the first place...

You posted them here way before they were posted on FB, tho.

Here's another one, from POTF FB:
