Hi,
To ya all Heavy Metal bangers out there i´m proud to announce that 2009 end of January/early Februrary GOBRA´s NEW ALBUM will be out!!! Finally the 4th studio album after long time silence.
Many thought they had quite, HELL NO!!!
The band is still going strong and have survived the most difficult times when Heavy Metal was not popular through all these 25 years!!!
Short history of Gobra!
Original line-up (TONY, UKI, EHT and RENO) rehearshed cover songs in the beginning of 80's and so we decided to make some own songs. The first jamming week produced four songs and there was opportunity to play a gig at Alpua Yuoth Club (1983), so we decided to test these new songs with audience. There was only one problem - band had no name. Band playd it's first gig with name MEG, set included those four own songs and cover tunes from Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Blue Öyster Cult, Saxon, MSG, Gary Moore, Def Leppard...
New name was invented short after this first gig "Flimzy Haze". We made some more gigs and demo's at Haga Waga studio Kempele. We also decided to invest to a touring bus and small PA-system. Bulk Oy advertising company made to us tour material.
Record companies were interesrted in our music, but trend in that time was that you have to sing in finnish, so we made our first single with bands own money. Single The Tryout/Paid to kill was released and the bands name was changed to GOBRA, because Flimsy Haze was too difficult fo gig arrangers and was always misspelled in advertisments. Flimsy Haze remained later as record company label with falce teeth logo. After success of the first record release Gobra made gigs in every part of Finland.
