Dark Sun
Space rock from Finland since 1991
Yes, we still do exist. Well, at least, we haven’t officially disbanded. Over the past few years we’ve had no gigs, months could be spent in between band members seeing each other, jamming in rehearsals on occasional Fridays was our only activity. We gave up our domain www.darksunband.com in October 2007.

In September 2007 we jammed more frequently than for a long time
– and with full crew. But in mid-October 2007 we got evicted
from the old rehearsal room, with all the the artists of
Vadelma. On December
21st 2007 we had a rehearsal in a cheap
recording studio, a jam was captured on Santtu’s minidisc. So
far that was the last time for the whole band to play together. In
mid-June 2008 we started studio sessions for a
cover version
of a Helios Creed song, so far half of the band members have
visited the studio. In mid-July 2008 Santtu’s wife had their
third child, and Illy has moved to another town. We were invited to a
rehearsal room in August 2008, but most of us weren’t interested
enough to reply, and the rent would have been too high for just a
couple of players. In May 2009 the Helios Creed project took a step
forward as more instument tracks were added and the final mix should
happen quite soon. A raw mix was immediately put on our MySpace page:
