Yeah, HIM are big over here in Finland, don't know about the rest of
scandinavia, though. Funny thing is, when I was to New York a few
years ago,  I was hanging out at a bar with a local friend of mine,
and all of HIM just walked in and joined us. They'd just had a gig a
few blocks away, and the friend of my friend was part of the band's US
management, so she dragged them there :-)

And while I'm at it, the son of my godparents directed one of HIM's
videos...so I guess it's a small world... Video here:

I'm not much of a HIM fan, but I do like Ville's voice. He did a cover
of Summer Wine as well, which I think is quite nice.

So, feel like sharing anything more about the DX project :-) ?

Cheers,
