UNICEF - Käkimassaa EP 1983

"The circumstances under which Unicef was formed, as well as the later stages, are somewhat hazy. What is clear is that the founding members were Tino and Jonza. Tino played guitar, Fagey played bass and Jonza (who, at that time, used the name Danny Kaye) sang, and came up with the name for the band. This line-up probably played only one gig. The identity of the drummer is unclear, but among the people who played in Unicef before the later, better known line-up, were Eno, Pitkä, Rusina, Antsu, Hannu and Hippo. This EP was released in 1983 on Johanna Records and has three pretty nice punk böllers with an outstanding voice I would say. How the band came to end is also a bit hazy. The members are constantly changing and as Tino, Jonza and some other people from the Helsinki scene moved abroad, the story of Unicef was over. Only one single and the legend remained." (words by Mika) - Tino died in November 1995 after he fell from a scaffolding, Jonza died in April 2005 after he fell down stairs drunk. Find them as tasty fish snack on the essential Killed By Finnish Hardcore bootleg.
