i'm out of here couple of days and you start talking about the "scene"... well, right now i'm tired and don't have much to add... the best of the lot is clearly kemialliset ystävät, and also tomutonttu, which is solo project of jan anderzen, but then again, jan anderzen is kemialliset ystävät... only there he usually have other people helping him too. i think he's also a member of puke eaters, who made that one excellent cdr on chocolate monk. i've heard rumors about a puke eaters vinyl but that probably haven't happened yet. avarus are great too and check out also frichara pacchu, it's a solo project of one of the guys in avarus, he has made 3 excellent tapes so far and there will be a 7" out on fonal soon.
islaja, lau nau and kuupuu are good too, they're 3 ladies who also have a band called hertta lussu ässä (there should be lp out on eclipse hopefully this year) and they all have been playing occasionally in avarus.
as for paavoharju, their first lp is excellent, one of the best ever, but it's true that they're not quite as good live.
and the best gig i've seen last year was by tomutonttu, it was totally amazing!
someone mentioned liimanarina... they were the best band ever!
