Artist description Cone Whaley was originally an idea for an extension of Jari Huotaris soloproject - PseudoPlotinos - and was based around a fictional character, Cone Whaley that is. The idea moulded itself to a musical structure perhaps a bit further from the inventors original idea than expected. The soft dreamy attitude shifted, alongside with the music, to a more punkish lo-fi nature.

Music Style Lo-fi / Power pop / Punk rock

Artist History The bands founding members Jari (vocals, guitar) and Jonas (guitar), met each other on the web in the autumn of 1999. They exchanged songs that they had recorded on their own. Somehow they both seemed to enjoy eachother's songs and decided to meet in real life (tm). After a night soaked in alcohol they had formed the band. For a while, their rehearsal space seemed like an extension of their bedrooms (tm). They were quite happy making noise with just two guitars and Jari on vocals. However, one winter night they met Rebecka (vocals, acoustic guitar and tambourine) and decided to take her into the psychedelic world of Cone Whaley. The band started to shape up but they still needed someone to play the drums. That's when Jonas attended a party and ran around asking everyone he saw if they could play the drums. He got lucky and found a guy who knew a friend that could be interested. The next day Samuel called and said that he was in fact very interested. *drum whirl* Tada! Samuel (drummer extra ordinary) was now a band member and the band was complete. Well almost, there still was no bass player. But then Samuels friend Daniel came along at a rehearsal and he is now the man behind the bass vibes. The band played several gigs in the local area, including radio and tv-sessions. In May of 2001 the two founding members jari and jonas, decided to split up the band. there was no hard feelings, just time to let go of it all. r.ip. cone whaley.
