Kalifornia-Keke and Stiletto-Ana formed Jesse after a stint in prison. Because they wanted to play in a band. Their inspirations come from Megadeth, Kraftwerk and Mega-Anal. While doing their time, the boys met fusion-player, Jesse, who taught them some skillz. After years of tricks Keke and Ana got fed up livin’ in speed square and exchanged touring the underworld into touring the arenas. After their first gig, they were forced to nick the PA stuff from the local bar at Kuopio. Jesse’s new muzak shares with us insights into the world of Keke & Ana. They’ve got some chicks, cars and stolen stuff. Music is 100% synth. At the moment Jesse’s guys are in training cuz they want to be in the realm of virtuoso, like Toto.

Jesse needs no introduction. The hottest electro band in Finland has raised wild Myspace popularity, has had a sold-out EP, has performed wild gigs for packed crowds in the biggest clubs and festivals (including Flow /w CSS, Sebastien Tellier, Crystal Castles, Múm etc.) in Finland and has had a cover article in the Rumba magazine (Finnish number one music magazine) before any official releases, not to mention the band’s own running shoe model with Karhu, which was sold out in a couple of hours. This was also noted in the ten o’clock main news on channel MTV3. The Kaikki! album, released on 9 April in Finland, went straight to #29 on the Finnish official album charts. Jesse´s hit single Hanaa was chosen the song of the year 2008 in the Basso Awards and Jesse was chosen the coolest band in Finland year 2007 by Rumba magazine.
