Kuudes Tunti

Erstwhile postpunk Finnish mystery band. They functioned between 1980/85 and were briefly called the Glory Boys until 1983. Bass guitarist Milli was the main songwriter and singer until his dear friend and fellow singer Jore Vastelin joined from the postpunk band Musta Paraati. They had recently both been in a short-lived side venture for Milli Jore and TB Widow called Silmät and had released the Haudattu single together after Jore left MP. Prior to the Jore connection, Milli Kailis (drums) and Tuutti (guitar) had released the Ralf Orn produced "How Are You Today?" album. The Jukka Orma produced single incorporating Jore's lyrics which was fatefully never released due to alcoholic frolics in the studio damaging the mixing desk can now be heard on a vinyl version of the LP along with demos etc. in summer 1985 their last gig at the Helsinki song festival marked the end of the band as Milli and Kailis went mad at each other. Even today the material released to the public has negligible contributions from Jore. The posthumously released sophomore "anthology" album features the lineup without Jore as it is demos and outtakes from the early 80's. Hidden tapes from Milli's car have allowed Svart records to get unearthing stuff that's been under wraps for years featuring early Milli/Jore revelations. Both Milli and Jore died of hereditary heart complications in the 90's.
