Are you planning to come to St. Petersburg with a separate concert in September? We have heard something like that here.

Jonne: Hopefully! Hopefully! We’re looking forward to come again here. And I would like to shoot a DVD here, because the audience really appreciate the shows we make here! Of course we’re gonna come here, but let’s see if it will be included into this tour. But now we are here. It’s really nice!

By the way it’s been + 30 C in St.Petersburg today. Is it as hot in Finland now and what do you do to feel better and kind of chill out?

Jonne: Yes it is! Try to be in the shadow. Try not to move. Take all your clothes of and basically do nothing. But last night i couldn't get asleep because of that heat. I took about 4 freezing showers. It helped. It is the only thing that helped.

That should be really hard. Do you test your music on mice?

Jonne: On mice? No.

During this  concert there were many Russian bands performing. Perhaps you would like to work with somebody of them?

Jonne: With Kevin Kostner. (laugh)

Many finnish people come to St. Petersburg just to drink alcohol and relax. Have you ever made such tours?

Jonne: NO! No! It’s stereotypes! I just get here to get some decent vodka for my friends in Finland. It’s really good. I don’t know why finish people have such a tradition. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because we have cold, very cold winters in Finland. So it gives you 'inner sweater' when you drink a bit.
