Biography
KYYRIA, founded in the 80's by Swedish and Canadian musicians, offer diverse blend of Rock styles and eclecticism. Through various periods of evolvement KYYRIA had become by the 90's a totally Finnish band. Vocalist Ville Tuomi, an early member of SUBURBAN TRIBE, guested on AMORPHIS' 'The Karellian Isthmus' and 'Tales From A Thousand Lakes' hit album, taking his studio roll further when he was invited to join their touring entourage.
Japanese releases of the 1994 album 'Blessed Ravings' added an extra four tracks. Interestingly, KYYRIA played with American porno star Lynn LeMay during a Finnish erotica festival during 1995. Drummer 'Gas Lipstick' (a.k.a. Mika Kristian Kappinen) would feature as vocalist / guitarist for DEMENTIA during 1995 and later come to prominence as 'Buddha Cognac' in the renowned Gothic Rock act H.I.M. Bassist Nico (Niclas Etelävuori) would also join AMORPHIS. SUBURBAN TRIBE re-drafted Ville Tuomi for their eponymous 2001 album.
