I like the band as well. It's encouraging to see that you can rise from a tiny marketing area to a decent level of international popularity without a big spending marketing organisation. Just doing your music. Iceland must be something like a world record country comparing the size of population to the number or internationally known pop/rock-artists.
As I've often mentioned, the inhabitants of big countries (populationwise) seldom come to think that when you
have only 5 million people, like Finland, you don't get rich even with a few gold records. You need to be in the top ten for ten years to be well off economically.
A year before their Eurovision Song Contest victory, the drummer of the band Lordi had to sell his small flat and move to his parents' in order to be able to finance his playing in the band :o/ And at the time they had already had one number one hit and album in Finland.
