Luonteri Surf

Band, FI
Alternative

Ramones- style surf punk pop band from Juva, Finland. Formed in 1984. Still active. As they say: "Luonteri Surf is a punk pop group from countryside in Eastern Finland. Four local friends formed the band 1984 and the band has been more or less active since then. Couple of things you need to know about us and life in general: 1) Doing good is better than being evil. 2) The Ramones is important, but so are cows and trees and tractors too. 3) Less than one cow is not worth keeping. 4) Short and fast and fun is better than loooong and slow and boring. 6) Butter is better than margarine" Line-ups: 1984-1991 Kalle Grotenfelt, percussion Pekka Kerminen, guitar Martti Ripaoja, bass Pekka "Manne" Liimatainen, drums 1991-1994 Kalle Grotenfelt, percussion Pekka Kerminen, guitar Martti Ripaoja, bass Harri "Hapa" Virolainen, drums 1994-1998 Kalle Grotenfelt, percussion Pekka Kerminen, guitar Martti Ripaoja, bass Sami Karppinen, drums 1998- Kalle Grotenfelt, percussion Pekka Kerminen, guitar Martti Ripaoja, bass Timo "Unski" Oinonen, drums
