Kaizers Orchestra played in Tavastia in Helsinki last night. Their first show in Finland was outright brilliant. Not only because they took questions from the audience during the gig and were selling their own merchandise after the show, but also because they brought Geoff Berner along. Although Berner performed only a handful of songs, his sharp satiric wit delivered the punch line of the night. Geoff Berner is the Woody Allen of music, period.

And just in case if you know Smashing Pumpkins personally, please tell them to go see Kaizers Orchestra. Pumpkins could definitely take a lesson or two from the Kaizers about performing live (the picture above from the last night’s gig might already give a hint or two).
