Following a huge success of "Ipana 1", an album for children released
in Finland
last Autumn and packed with songs from famous Finnish musicians,
an album sequel will be released on 29th October 2008.
"Ipana 2"
features Jyrki69 with the song "Lennä
lennä lepakko"
inspired by a bat that lived under the eaves
of Jussi69's home.
This piece is a first in Finnish for Jyrki69, and provides for some
chilly, gloomy atmosphere reminiscent of that in Tim Burton's cartoon
"Vincent", while at the same time combining it with witty and charming
lyrics that could only be made under the pen of our Jyrki!
Album will be published under EMI Finland, and will also feature
Emma winner Jenni Vartiainen, Idol winner Hanna Pakarinen,
Mikki Kauste from Egotrippi and Anna Järvinen. The
list of songs goes as follows:
1. Vattat täynnä - Lauri Tähkä
2. Mörkö mainio - Hanna Pakarinen
3. Tilulilulei - Mikki Kauste
4. Et sä mua määrää - Janna
5. Urho Kepponen - Jenni Vartiainen
6. Vanha rämä Volkkari - Samuli Laiho
7. Suumusaa - Felix Zenger
8. Onnenpäivänen - Anna Järvinen
9. Sukkasillaan - Ninni Poijärvi
10. Hyvä rytmi - Mikko Kuustonen
11. Lennä lennä lepakko - Jyrki69
12. Piukusuu - Laura Sippola

Pirates Of
The Baltic Sea is organizing a competition on its pages
by 31st January 2009, in which, if one fills
out the form located on
www.piratesofthebalticsea.fi
(Liity Meihin
“island”), the winner gets
tickets for him/her and two friends for The 69 Eyes concerts in 2009
(not
including festivals, 69 – 96 €), including the possibility of meeting
Jussi69 and Jyrki69 in the backstage (priceless value).
WHAT ARE THE PIRATES
OF THE BALTIC SEA ALL ABOUT?
From the state of the
Baltic Sea it is visible that it has been quite sufficiently polluted.
By establishing Pirates Of The Baltic Sea, Jussi69 and Jyrki69 provide an
opportunity
to fight for the Baltic Sea regardless of age, gender or wealth.
GIVE MONEY OR SPREAD THE WORD
Everyone who
enrolls in the pirates binds itself to fight for the Baltic Sea
by freely copying an on purpose unregistered pirate mark or by collecting money
and by spreading the message. You can see how it goes by visiting
piratesofthebalticsea.fi.
COLLECTED MONEY
The collected
amount will go to the wetland project of WWF. When you give,
you help the pine swamps to serve as nature's own filters which reduces
eutrophication (process where enhanced plant growth under the influence of
excess nutrients results in reduced oxygen in water and can cause other
organisms to die). Read more on the wetland project of WWF on
country.fi.
MICHAEL MONROE JOINED THE PIRATES
MIKE MONROE was
among the first ones connected to the pirates, and he composed
and wrote the lyrics for Pirates Of The Baltic Sea single and music video that
can be seen on the address:
piratesofthebalticsea.fi.
TV SERIES
The idea of an
establishment of pirates was created to bring Operation
in connection with the work of the country TV series company, Nordisk Film.
The Operation Earth is beginning from 11.11.2008 on Nelonen, which features a
program
in which three celebrity pairs struggle against the climate change.
Read more about the series on
country.fi.
Artists who, besides
Jussi69 and Jyrki69, are a part of Pirates Of The Baltic Sea are:
Adam Bomb, Backyard Babies' Dregen, Kory Clarke
and Havana Black's Hannu Leiden and Petri Majuri.

On the International Talk Like A Pirate Day
yesterday,
it was finally revealed what kind of pirate action Michael Monroe
and Jussi69 are calling us to join on The 69 Eyes mobile blog! Read
further! *Arrr*
The Baltic Sea is the most polluted sea in the world. Worldwide
climate change
affects us
all. "Operaatio Maa" (Operation Earth), a new
series starting in November
on Finnish TV
channel 4, features three
separate teams with different
environmental causes. Rock stars
Jyrki 69
and Jussi 69 from THE 69 EYES
form one of the teams, that will man the
barricades for saving the Baltic Sea:
they have formed an anarchistic
environmental movement called
Pirates Of The Baltic Sea and invite
everyone aboard the ship
that sails under the
green Jolly Roger
(trademark pirate flag
with skull and crossbones).
HANOI ROCKS frontman Michael Monroe joined the Pirates
and created a
powerful, anthemic call to arms that aims to wake people
up from their
apathy and to take action: every single living soul CAN
take part in
saving the Baltic Sea. Michael Monroe has always been
an actively aware
person, even back in the day: in the '80s he participated
in the Sun
City project, which was Bruce Springsteen's and Little Steven's
worldwide musical protest against apartheid. Besides singing the song
along with a bunch of other international rock stars, Michael Monroe
can
be seen in the legendary Sun City music video.
With the song "Pirates Of The Baltic Sea", Michael Monroe appears
at his
most aggressive, and punky for quite some while. The international band
of misfits that recorded the song with Michael is a true rock'n'roll
crew
of the highest order: Jussi 69 behind the drums, underground legend
Adam Bomb
on the guitar, WARRIOR SOUL's Kory Clarke singing backup, and
BACKYARD BABIES' Dregen on the guitar as well. A music video
for
"Pirates Of The Baltic Sea" - directed by Tuukka Temonen - was shot
a
short while ago on the Baltic Sea aboard the marine research vessel
Aranda.
The release party for the "Pirates Of The Baltic Sea" single and video was
held
at the Tavastia Club in Helsinki on Friday, September 19 starting
at 1:30 p.m.
