Terror on the beach

There's an article about us in the new issue of Helsingin Uutiset... you can read it online here

Manchester

Just finished our short but intense instore DJ-set at Swamp Music in Tampere. A beautiful female salesperson was kind enough to serve us food and alcoholic beverages and loaded our hands full of old Earache releases (the re-releases that come w/ dvd's), Cathedral's "Forest of Equilibrium" is currently blasting in our car.

At the moment we're hanging at our favorite spot in Hämeenlinna, namely Suisto... we played here back in October last year and just about everything about this place is f-in great :) Very recommended.

Mis-hap of the week: Our beautiful synth-op Sophie (to the left) broke her face the other day... She says she doesn't know what happened and claims she was sober... Sure thing honey.

The painting is done by a bloke called Matt Sesow and we think it's kinda cool. We had to google "fucked up face" and look for something more lightweight since the picture of Elizabeth Short I suggested made Lars' stomach turn. (editor E.P.)

Stay tuned for pictures of Sophie... We hope you recover soon.

Volt article online!

Inferno Magazine gives 'A Life Of Vice' 4/5!

"Määrittele adjektiivit tumma, mystinen, ahdistava, tuhoisa, viipyilevä, raikas ja opettavainen kahdella sanalla. Vastaus: Vanity Beach." -Jaakko Silvast, Inferno

"Considerably astonished appearance in the composition of the group of brittle girl -klavishnitsy. As it was explained, it call Sofi, and children hope that it will remain in their constant composition." The wonders of free online translation... WTF?

'A LIFE OF VICE'

'A LIFE OF VICE' OUT IN FINLAND ON MAY 5TH

SHIT HAPPENS

We'll be posting all sortsa random shit here so stay tuned you! As you don't wanna miss out on the haps and mishaps in our fucked-up lives! Recently, mostly mishaps :/ One of Finland's biggest newspapers, HBL (http://noje.blogg.hbl.fi/2010/03/15/fullt-krig-om-dina-stalar/) called us catastrophe-magnets the other day... Which sounds kinda sad but... well, is often true in our case.

Mishap of the week: Our newly hired promoter sent out the wrong press release to roughly 4000 different magazines and online publications... Not cool. It namedrops bands we haven't even heard of and glorifies suicide!? Well, things could be worse... We had a chat with our dear promoter and she promised this won't happen again. Ok... Let's move on.

If you live in Helsinki you should pick up The Style Ish of We Are Helsinki... there's a nice 4-page feature about Yours Truly innit. You can pick it up for free at select clothing stores as well as in all decent bars and cafeterias in Helsinki.

We like the new ATR song "Activate!". So should you: http://soundcloud.com/alec_empire/atari-teenage-riot-activate Good to have them back!

So check that out while waiting for us to drop our bomb of an album "A Life Of Vice" on May 5th! It's out through Jäänsärkijä Records/Playground Music Finland and will be available at all record stores in Finland. We'll also have it available for mail order for all of you living abroad on our website http://www.vanity-beach.com, which btw is getting a complete makeover within the next month or so.

Our record release party is being held at a venue many people call Northern Europe's best rock club, namely Tavastia on June 10th. We got something special in store for you... so don't miss out on this! Lazers n' shit! We'll also be DJ:ing around Finland around the release - we'll post dates for you guys as soon as we get 'em.

The first single 'BATCAVE' recently hit the radio and can be heard at our MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/vanitybeach
