Steve'n'Seagulls
Question: What's 40 feet long and has only 14 teeth?
Answer: The front row at a Garth Brooks Concert.
Thank God, Garth Brooks no longer ain't the only artist to listen to if you live in a trailer.
Very probably the only band on the planet to feature a ride-on lawnmower in their promo photo, Finland's YouTube sensation STEVE 'N' SEAGULLS is here to put the hick in hickory!
Originally just a bunch of local yokels from moderately successful bands, this merry mess of country cousins one day decided, just for laughs, to hillbillify (yes, "hillbillify" is henceforth officially a word) and shoot on video the AC/DC staple "Thunderstruck". Little did they know that the home-brewed video of the song would propel the provincial posse into cyberspace stardom virtually overnight. Attention from media both domestic and foreign ensued, resulting to a slew of performances ranging from festival appearances to being the house band in the christening of your grandma's cat.
Cue a few months, a couple of more videos and several newspaper clippings, and Steve 'n' Seagulls has become a buzzword known to most in their native Finland. Even record labels – notorious for their oblivion of anything worth noting – had the wool pulled from their eyes. All of a sudden Steve 'n' Seagulls find themselves with a recording contract.
