The Mieli Sairaala Live at Peräkorpirock 2014

Band information briefly in English

Joni fullfilled his long time dream and bought Hammond A101 (year 1961) and Leslie 122 speakercabinet. That was late 2002. When they arrived few people came by and listened that unbelivable sound of organs. Those guys ( Joni, Tero,  Jamppa & Eppu ) meet again in january 2003 and founded band that is now know as The Mieli Sairaala.

Making our own songs and albums was not the original idea but just relaxing and playing for fun was the motto.

The Mieli Sairaala (The Favorite Hospital) has grown to a real band with its own music. Everyone in the band loves Blues and that can be heard from our songs. The Mieli Sairaala sound is a flashback from the 60's and 70's rock with real tonewheel Hammond organ and vintage tube amplifier guitar sounds.

The Mieli Sairaala love's to play live though the band does not want to do too many gigs during the year.
Most of the gigs are made for having fun with friends and fans, not for money !

The band has five members:

Tero Arteli - Bass & Vocals & Harmonica
Janne Jokelainen - Guitars
Jarmo "Jamppa" Pitkänen - Guitars & Harmonica
Joni Bäcklund - Hammond & keyboards
Eero "Eppu" Laigren - Drums & Percussions

There has been three female singer candidates ( Sanna 1, Sanna 2 and Amalia ) in the band between years 2003 and 2005. The band since decided to continue without female singers, and all vocals are done by Tero and Patrick on the first two albums. Patrick Houbaux ( Guitars, Vocals and Songwriting ) joined the band in early 2004 and left the band in October 2005. Today Patrick lives with his family near Paris in France. Juha Laine ( Guitars ) joined the band in October 2005. Janne Jokelainen replaced Juha Laine in 2014.

The fourth album called "Vol.4" was released in May 2014 and is downloadable from our web-pages.

The third album called "ROKC" was released in July 2008 and is available for sales.

The second albun called "Medication OK" was relased in August 2005 and is available for sales.

The first album, "Highway 25" is sold out !
