Approximately four years ago two fellas (Jouni & Johannes) met occasionally when working next door to each other. When soon discovering similar musical interests and inspiration the question rose, should there be some hanging around and jolly good music making?

A few moments after and some embarrassing badly played music they seemed to find a mutual tune. A cocoon of a future fruitful symbiosis was born.

For the next two-three years the music seemed to be creating itself and everything got to a point where the proportions demanded more. Decisions were made to enter a studio at an upcoming date and more musicians were needed to complete the “almost finished” structure of the record.

It was natural that the candidates for each specified job were picked from close by and soon four friends (Antti, Mikko, Petri & Jaakko) joined the communion. This loose context might have the impact that everything went like a walk in a park. But some involuntary problems during this galactic metamorphosis were overcome.

A long story short and at present the newborn is here..

The story of Standing Ovation begins now.
