Liikkuvat Lapset

Majorly influential and highly original Finnish jazzpunk maestros who flit in and out of goth punk postpunk jazz and cabaret genres and defining labels like a cat out of a bag. LL (Mobile Kids/Kids on the Move in English? You'd probably say Kids with Attitude these days) dominated the eighties Finnish avant-garde scene alongside the Alanko-led Sielun Veljet but their overall sound is highly palatable and many are rediscovering a series of inimitably well crafted albums and singles showcasing the striking vocalwork of their siren Tuula Amberla, a great solosinger in her own right. Now seen as masters of postpunk invention and are respected in their homeland as Public Image Limited and the Banshees are in the UK.
