Kyky was the first musical event that I visited in Seinäjoki. It is a talent competition for the youth of Etelä-Pohjanmaa (Southern Ostrobothnia). This isn't directly connected to the local rock scene, but some associations can still be made. One of the competitors was a rock band called Her Sweet Parable with four or five members, all of them girls, seemingly between the ages 14 and 16. They had written their own songs and during their performance I didn't hear anyone miss a single note. It seemed like they had started learning their instruments as soon as they grew out of their cradles. This isn't always the case when it comes to these kind of competitions, so I was positively surprised. Their style was of course poprock or radiorock, but for this I would blame their age. Most of the currently existing rockbands start out by copying their favourite artists and some of them never stop. Hopefully these girls will someday find their own unique style, since the world does need more female rockers!
The winner of this competition was a young girl called Viivi (accompanied by a boy with a guitar - Samuli) who had also written her own songs. She sang in a high voice and that's about all I can remember from her performance, so in my humble opinion – nothing remarkable there. I am supposed to write about rock here and she didn't rock out that much, so now I will just stop writing. The end.
