THE MUTANTS.

"This is a sound to kill for - its like Santana from Hell!"

Mixture of 60s garage rock, surf, porn funk and manic psychedelia, the instrumental madness of The Mutants is a lost soundtrack for Russ Meyers, Tarantinos and Aki Kaurismakis films. Impossible to kategorize, we call it "afro-garage-mambo".

The Mutants was founded in 1998 by Weijjo a.k.a Abnormal, who wanted to form an instrumental band after getting tired of difficult singers. Members were picked from his previous punk band "Isebels Pain" and locations that you dont want to know. The sound of The Mutants has been pretty weird from the first beginning, only to get seriously sicker since. After the first chaotic gigs with the usual rock instrumentation + organ, it needed to sound bigger. A Saxophone and percussions were added, and the originally punk/surf/garage -based stuff smashed through Parliament/Funkadelic filter. The beats have been funkier since.

As the result of several EPs, singles, compilation album "Deathrace 3000", dozens of gigs, and with the support of local music magazines and quite active garage rock scene of southern Finland, the band made a three-record deal with the label Spinefarm in 2003. Under Spinefarms "Ranch" -department the band released the full-lenght albums "Voodoo Blues" (2003), "Death Cult" (2005) and "Grave Groove" (2007). Next to the meaty musical contents, these releases have the most ass-kicking cover art that our mambo-minds can dream for: Theyre made by a mexican master-tikiartist Dr. Jorge Alderete, who was introduced to the band by a dedicated fan.

Since 2004, the band has been touring in Europe every year, most often in Germany. Touring targets also include Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Belgium and Estonia, not to forget the highlight trips to Denmarks Roskilde festival in 2003 and to Argentina in 2006.

The Mutants have made a household name with their epic drinking habits combined with tight performing. According to the brand new 95% live, self-produced and self-released bastard-son "Boogie de la Muerte" (release early 2011) + the wonderful feedback from the coolest crowds and gig-promoters on the latest tours - The Mutants sounds today better and deeper than ever, and is ready to rock&roll maybe soon in your town also.
