His last appearance in Finland was in Lumous 2014, where he performed a highly praised show with his group Autogen. He is also known from Rosewater and is behind most of the live industrial events in Riga.

THINNER (LIVE, Latvia, rhythmic noise)
http://www.sturmmandat.com/artists/thinner
THINNER is a pulsing elektroise charge of grinding beats, caustic tunes and noxious verbal messages. Heeding senseless acquiescing to throes for "greater good" - a job that gets on your nerves and wastes your life, relationships with people you are "forced" to have, reconciliation with removable evils - hazards we all submit to.
This is the 2nd time Thinner performs in Finland.

TANK:JANK (LIVE, Latvia, ritual industrial)
http://www.last.fm/music/Tankist
TANK:JANK, also known as Veerot, Tankist & Tas Tur Nelabais (Latvian perkele), is known from his extreme performances which often include self-inflicted pain and wounds. One of his performances sparked a national outrage in Latvia, as he was crucified with nails to a wooden cross and the yellow press made the most out of it. Time will tell what happens in Tampere, but this show is not for the children or for the weak of heart. This is his 1st performance in Finland.

MACHINATRIX (LIVE, Tampere, downtempo:triphop)
MACHINATRIX (formerly known as Machine Dominatrix), the solo act of Maria Helena, was born somewhere around 2003. It's about making her feelings and thoughts audible and presentable in a way that others can relate to them. It's her safety valve. She's no genre purist, and only makes music that interprets her emotions best at the moment. Usually it ends up being moody downtempo / triphop / alternative pop.
