Concert review:: Club Walas, night club BELLA DONNA 15.9. -97

In my opinion WALTARI has always been a band with professionality but their music just tend to be such a parade o different styles mixed together that it's hard to get a grip. That definition suits also this gig as there was everything from techno (PRODIGY -version) to grind (BEATLES at hyperspeed) but the main focus was however in WALTARI's harder side so general impression was positive. The band was on the road this time with the set which emphasized a lot in cover-songs. From legendary hc-group Lama were played "Turpa kiinni ja nussi" and "Olen homo" which showed possible skate-punks who dared into the audience how real punk sounds like. Old speed/thrash veteran like myself gladly welcomed "Caught in a Mosh" from ANTHRAX which was played and sung extremely closely according to original version. In addition we heard covers from DIE KRUPPS and STONE. Best reactions to their own material was given to old videotrack "The Stage". Crowd was surprisingly big even though the day of the week was unusual (Monday). Now it seems like this new rock-club in Seinäjoki have started in favourable wind. I just hope this club doesn't go down like some previous ones.
