BRIEF IN ENGLISH
Kotiteollisuus have been trying to learn to play their instruments
ever since 1993 when their first demo tape was
released under the name "Hullu
Ukko Ja Kotiteollisuus" ("The Crazy Old Geezer And Home Industry",
it seemed like a good idea at the time).
In their homeland Finland the band is variously being described as a bunch of homophobic redneck chauvinist pigs, career alcoholics or perceptive commentators on the current state of the nation, religion and human kind in general, depending on the sex, iq and state of intoxication of the person that you are asking. But since they sing in Finnish you don't have to worry about it all and can just look at all the pretty pictures.
The current shorter version of the name and the line-up of Hynynen on guitar & vocals, Hongisto on bass & backing vocals and Sinkkonen on drums was established in 1997. Kotiteollisuus has so far produced 7 full-length albums, one dvd, a bunch of singles and played countless live shows all over Finland.
