You're right, the others are more along the lines of Foreigner/Journey/Asia...

Umpio played decent gig. Maybe the focus got lost at some point of this rather long and rather improvised set but Umpio's pure sound is always a nice thing to hear. I was standing nearby the PA but heard nothing of Umpio during the (shortish) collab-part with Baxter Stockman.

The rock bands were also fine, except Fun sounded quite lame and punk compared to many great gigs I've seen them playing.

Lepakkomies looks fairy standard vietkong-bar nowadays with three televisions downstairs. Funny or not.
