PERTTI KURIKAN NIMIPAIVAT

PKN group is a Finnish punk rock band, formed in 2009 in a charity workshop for adults with developmental disabilities. They are famously known for being the main focus of the Finnish documentary film The Punk Syndrome. In 2015, they qualified for the finals of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu, which they later won; they will represent Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015.

In 2012, their fame grew as they were the main subject of The Punk Syndrome, a Finnish documentary film. The documentary, depicting the band’s story from its outset to their first European tour, earned them a following in Scandinavia and Germany.

In 2014, the band performed in a charity concert with Mr. Lordi of the Finnish rock band, Lordi. Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät’s bold and unusual take on Eurovision has been compared to that of Lordi, Finland’s 2006 Eurovision entry and the winner of that year’s contest.

This group’s members are;

*Pertti Kurikka

*Kari Aalto

*Sami Helle

*Toni Välitalo

*Kalle Pajamaa
