On stage without a band. Lauri Ylonen solo career is an ever play - at least if you ask him yourself.
A few hours before his gig is Lauri Ylonen of the VIP tent and spins on his water bottle. Yet in 2009 he promised in an interview that he would never embark on a solo career because it's so lonely. This is still The Rasmus fontfigur himself at the table.
- But alone it's really not, certify Lauri. I have people around me all the time, everything from mixing to the guys who play with me on stage. This morning we were 12 people who traveled from Helsinki.
Last year went Lauri to Singapore, where band member Paul Rantasalmi lives, to make music for The Rasmus new album. The result was something completely different, and came home with Lauri foundation for a solo album New World. In Vaasa Rockfestival he initiates tonight's festival tour as a solo performer.
- This summer there will be so many festivals, but we have a more cooler show, promises Lauri.
He tells of video screens that will spin throughout the 10 songs that are on tonight's schedule.
- It's really quite humorous, with The Rasmus, we have a lot of songs to choose from, but since this is my first album I have only my 10th The variation is striking, Lauri laughs. He sees himself as a solo artist-beginner, somewhat ironic given that he's already been a decade on stage.
Do not need a stylist
Lauri is wearing tight black pants, a black long-sleeved shirt and the lever are black feathers in her dark hair. One can only wonder if it is a contrived stategi from the man who has been called Finland's Choice.
- Not at all. Dehär clothes you can find much in every store nationwide. Today, for example, I think I shopped the whole Vasa's clothing range, Lauri laughs.
Back home, he cuts down the shopping finds and sits down in front of the sewing machine. Completely self.
- Did you know that I have designed a collection four years ago? Unfortunately, I had to give up clothes designer-dream because it was too much "The Rasmus Lauri makes clothes" in the media and too little focus on actual garments.
Summer with spade
With the slightly calmer summer, Lauri Ylonen had time to spend time with his son, and also take on a little more different projects.
- I decided to build a beach, where I have stood with the spade. It's relaxation for me, says Lauri.
This fall, it will be however less groundbreaking. Rather than waiting for tours of both Europe and Russia.
- Furthermore, I dream about playing in Latin America, but nothing is decided yet, we'll see what happens.
Lauri still can reveal that we can expect a new album by The Rasmus soon.
- In a few months, we do in the studio again. Actually, his solo career one big play. I get to decide everything, while normally used to keep a band's democracy.
As a solo artist Lauri promise in all cases to offer a proper show for tonight's gig.
- After all the marketing, photo shoots and interviews, it is incredibly comfortable to stand on stage and just do what you're made for: to give the yarn!
