Joose Talks About Estonians and Estonian Punk

Joose Berglund from Stupido presents a storytelling evening at the Punk Museum about Finland's and Finns' role in the early days of Estonian punk in the 1980s. He explains which events led to the record label releasing J.M.K.E's single Tere Perestroika, and what has happened with these southern neighbours' punkers since then.

The storytelling evening is part of the Punk Museum's exhibition activities. The museum currently features two exhibitions: PUNK IS FREEDOM is an image-focused exhibition from Tallinn City Museum about punk life in Soviet Estonia, with photographs by Arno Saar, Urmas Lange, Sven Tupits and Väino Meresmaa. As a side exhibition, "Sur-rurin's First 30 Years" is on display - a photo exhibition about the Lapua-based cult band Sur-rurin's journey through Finnish punk and underground music, curated by Lakeus-punk rf.

Both exhibitions are on display from 12.9 to 20.12 (closed on Independence Day). The Punk Museum is located at Jaakonkatu 3, Helsinki, and is open Tue-Fri 12-18, Sat-Sun 12-16. Admission 5 €; members and those under 18 are free.
