Vasa Alt-Rock Night: Harava x Pakopisteet
FRI 23/10 Vasa Alt-Rock Night: Harava x Pakopisteet
Vasa alternative rockers unite: Harava’s sax-driven social fury and Pakopisteet’s raw trio energy turn The Doo-Bop Club into a rebellion against indifference, one catchy chorus after another.
Harava
Harava is a Vaasa-based alternative rock band that blends rap, indie, metal, and psychedelia into a distinctive, recognisable sax-driven sound.
Miikka Kauppinen, vocals and guitar
Mikko Laukkanen, guitar and backing vocals
Niklas Nybom, bass and backing vocals
Ville Hellström, tenor saxophone
Viktor Palm, drums
Harava is an alternative rock band that blends rap, indie, metal, and psychedelia into a distinctive, recognisable sound. The saxophone gives the band’s sound its character and reinforces the power of their socially conscious lyrics. Harava means “rake” in Finnish, so grab a rake and join the rebellion against apathy!
In spring 2026, Harava released the single trilogy Kirsikkapuut / Nuijasota / Haravainvalta and is currently putting the finishing touches on their debut album, which will be released in autumn 2026.
Pakopisteet
Pakopisteet serves up Finnish-language alt-rock delivered with the undeniable power of a traditional rock trio.
Joni Pieniluoma, vocals and guitar
Elina Vikman, bass and backing vocals
Jaber McBreen, drums and backing vocals
Pakopisteet serves up Finnish-language alt-rock with all kinds of spices. Fiery songs about pleasant and not-so-pleasant subjects are delivered with the undeniable power of a traditional rock trio. Expect surprisingly big sound, an energetic live show, and perhaps even some sing-alongs. Earlier this year, Pakopisteet played gigs at Boothill in Helsinki and Nirvana in Turku, and their live momentum has been increasingly praised.
Pakopisteet’s debut EP has just finished recording and is set to be released in autumn 2026. The singles Oravanpyörä and Vihreä vallankumous were released in autumn 2025.
