Kumikameli on their way from the stage. I asked them if they would play one more song. "Are you serious? With this pile of shit?" They had thrown all their instruments in a pile.

Kumikameli

June 15th, 1996

Hultsfred, Sweden

Well, Kumikameli comes from Finland. They're crazy. They're fun!

In Hultsfred festival '96 they had a small stage of their own and they used their own small amplifiers and you couldn't hear much much but everybody was smiling and having a lotta fun.

"Seuraavan kappaleen nimi on Rääpäle. På svenska: Vår nästa låt heter Sveriges starkaste man."

The guys in Kumikameli are nuts. Their stage clothing was made of black plastic bags, ripped and formed like Hawaii hula hula skirts. The guys were jumping up and down and looking stupid while they were playing. I thought it was great.I think that Pulp was playing on the large stage at the same time. I liked Kumikameli better.

Like rock stars in general, Kumikameli thought they should destroy their stage equipment after the last song. Well, they did. And of course we wanted an encore.

"Are you serious? How could we play, with this pile of shit?" one of the guys replied to my question if they were going to play one more song. "Well, that's the point! Take your instruments from the pile, don't re-tune the guitars or anything, just play! That would be cool." I said.

They refused. Pussies...
