Antti is amazing. He is able to sing "Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" after having 15 pints of beer. Furthermore, he is so good that his left hand replaces a whole bass player while his right plays his organ and a Rhodes stage piano. Antti does also other stuff with his hands. As a professional chef he is always recommending restaurants where none of the band members (including himself) can afford to eat.

Matti has the same birthday as J.R.R. Tolkien. This has pretty much determined his life. He used to have a bigger Star Wars figure collection than anyone else. Lately he has been concentrating more on older western tv-series, which can be heard in his lyrics. Matti's style is frequently imitated by Finland's top politicians and media persons. With his new bowling shoes he's more and more a sex symbol - just like a proper frontman should be!

 

Olli is sort of bohemian within certain limits, which include his hair-drying cap, for example. When Olli gets drunk it’s top-class entertainment, at best comparable with Battlestar Galactica and Robin of Sherwood (with Michael Praed), but we don’t get to see that stuff too often nowadays. The secret of Olli’s drumming? Convenience food: Olli is by far the best drummer in Harry Hunks, but the worst cook.

 

 

If Seinfeld ever decides to get a real bass player, Pekka would be the man for the job. This ability also makes him a valued member of the band: he can mark the punchlines in the jokes told by Antti, Matti and Olli. Sadly enough, nobody does the same for poor Pekka, who usually receives a confused silence in response to his attempts to explain the funny part in some sitcom he’s just seen on tv. He is also, in addition to being a great bass player, a good driver (useful during a tour) and one of the two best fencers in the band (useful for, well, fencing). When Pekka is not playing with Harry Hunks or learning new jokes from the telly, he likes to relax by driving his pappa-Tunturi moped across the “land of a thousand lakes”.
