Tyrävyö

Tyrävyö was a Finnish rock band formed in 1996. Eero Valorinta (vocals/guitar), Kristian Kuustie (guitar), Tomi Sauranen (bass) and Pasi Viinamäki (drums) were the original members of the band, but on the first album "Helminauha" (1999) there was a guest guitarist Jimi Pääkallo, which was/is known for his role in a popular Finnish rock'n'roll movie "Pitkä kuuma kesä" (1999). Jimi Pääkallo toured with Tyrävyö about a year and the band enjoyed rather big success. Jimi and the band played their last gig in Korso 2000 at the Ankkarock festival. Tyrävyö is probably best known from it's cover-song "Ajetaan tandemilla" (released on the first EP "Kavereita" in 1999) and the song "Ensisuudelma" from the album "Helminauha". Tyrävyö released three more albums "Tyrävyö" (2001), "Pelkoa, inhoa ja b-luokan elokuvaa" (2002) and "Lähempänä pohjaa" (2005). The band split up in 2006.
