tampere, finland 3/4/25

I found this 3 minute radio interview thing from Emma gaala that has niko, joel, aleksi and joonas.

I can't translate every word they spoke cause the whole thing was quite chaotic but as a summary to the best of my abilities:

They came to the gala straight from the studio (in Joels words they were forced to come) but they've been making music. When asked if they've been in the northern finland making music they won't reveal anything but they've been all around. (Joel says they've been fighting polar bears, been to igloos and stuff to get inspiration) Niko says it was nice to attend the gala and they're honored to be nominated for an award.

To the random question asked in the end of what's their opinion on avocado Niko and Aleksi says it's okay, although Aleksi is a little bit allergic. Joel says it's hype has died down and Joonas likes very much but also there's a lot of conversations going on about if it's ecological to ship them from the other side of the world - to which Niko makes a joke about how that's all they do is talk about that. Aleksi is like 'we others just said it's alright' and Joonas replies he just had to answer something different.

They didn't do other press that day and the interviewer says that if you wonder how to stop blind channel when they won't do press is to give them free champagne (at the beginning they asked if they can take the champagne that was there and Niko proposes to the other guys that they stop and say something in exchange for champagne. in Nikos words they've never said no to free champagne)
