You can buy that album on that website also...

http://cdbaby.com/cd/stayinthebox

http://www.matchboxrecordings.co.uk/artists/stayinthebox.htm

 "Birdfishmen - All I Got

This alternative rock band comes from Finland.

Formed in Helsinki in 2000, the four members have been working and hanging together

for the last fifteen years.

Their trademark smooth, powerful sound was developed out of a shared love of music

and all things Finnish.

All I got is almost a ballade, almost an anthem, and as a result is a highly emotive, powerful rack,

that uplifts and saddens all at once.

An interesting mix of eclectic modern music that stays with you."

We had a good Bar Mendocino -gig at the end of year 2006

with a great saxophone player Anders Jansson,

who played with us before on two demo tracks: "Walkabout" and "I hope it´s U".

We had also two gigs in the middle of Finland, almost in our birth places.

A long way to go if you wanna Rock ´n´roll and to Tipperary.

Bar Mendocino -gig last saturday again. There must be some kind of way out of there?

So, the next "show" will be at Pub Pete´s, which would be very interesting.

We´ve never been there as a band before.

Our bass player Jari and drummer Tero are promoting their new Syksy -ep

and Jussi is playing with Kaitsu Kääriäinen, a great duo.

If I recall, it´s called Kaj Kiille `n` Henrik Hohde -duo?  I´m not sure.
