The starting moment of Fauna was in the beginning of the year 2008. The idea was to make some music in English, because Pekka had always written lyrics and text only in Finnish, so it was finally time to try out a new language.

The concept was improved in February 2008, when Pekka read an article about Jörn Donner and Ingmar Bergman. In that article, Donner told about a certain warning sign at the Skansen Zoo in Stockholm. The warning text goes "don`t disturb the animal - it disturbs itself". So came the idea about a band named Fauna, which plays songs about the life of, within, in or at Fauna - practically everything about life and living.

All the members of Fauna have a quite long background in playing music. You may have heard about False by West, Mouth Odour, Epilogi and, hey, maybe even about The Demars, a former cult classic from the West Coast! (And don't forget The Crowlée, as Lemmy would say.)

In Spring 2010, The Fauna is preparing some more songs and probably some gigs as well. We don't want to suggest you straight answers, because the questions are much more interesting.

Take care, The Fauna @ 1 / 2010
