Kake Singers

A Finnish pop rock group that was famous for its humour. The group was originally founded for making TV shows, but their shows became so famous that they were invited to make records, too. Their career lasted only for a few years; their first TV show was broadcast in spring 1978 and the group disbanded in 1979.

The group members had strange stage names: Juknur Highfly Trambolino (real name Jukka Nurmela, solo guitar), Riku The Rockface (Risto Rinne, rhythm guitar, vocals), Jytkimä Brutal (Jaakko Laiho, bass), Fast Kepakko (Arto Arola, drums), Ola Olenzo Ollén (Olli Tola, vocals), Doktor Runk (real name Raimo Tuominen, piano, clavinet, organ), Brita Brutal (Heini Tola, backing vocals), Esmeralda Hirmumarenki (Irma Pulkkinen, backing vocals), Hertta Brutal (Ulla Tapaninen, backing vocals), Umberto Sängysangari (show host) and Leonard Luuvalo (show host).
