In english


Periferia is all girl group from southern Finland. From small town Punkalaidun exactly. Our group is so called “girlband” and we play instrumental music with guitars like Shadows and other 60’s vocal music (influenced by British Rock ’n’ Roll and old Finnish dance music).

The band was started by one night in 1997. It was just one band’s gig and we had made our decision. We wanted to play too! So it took couple of months before we managed to buy all the necessary equipment. Then started hard work which still continues… We have known each others since childhood and means that all this practising and other stuff has going great. (Some disagreements now and then of course…but so rarely) =)

To mention something about the musicians: Nowadays we are all students located all over the Finland but it has not turn off our enthusiasm. We get together and play so often as possible. Our true age is secret but our middle-age is about 20… And as You can see from the pictures we like to party!

In summer 2000 we released our first CD, which included 4 tracks. (Two instrumental and two vocal songs). Afterwards Periferia has released songs in some collection CDs also with other bands.

Gigs have been done quite a lot actually. Last summer we got opportunity to play abroad. First we visit England Richie Gees fabulous weekender Wildest Cats In Town 5! We had the honour to play on same stage where later that night performed for example The Comets, Frankie Ford and Huelyn Duvall. Only few weeks after we packed cars and set out for Estonia. There was happening for American cars and Rock ‘n’ Roll music.

Now we are looking just new challenges!

Hope to see you soon =)
