hurriganes

hurriganes is a finnish rock band that was formed in the early 1970s .
they were very popular in finland in the 1970s and early 1980s ; they were also a popular live act in sweden during this time .
their classic line-up consisted of remu aaltonen , albert järvinen and cisse häkkinen .
what seems like a misspelling in the name -lrb- `` hurriganes '' with a `` g '' -rrb- is intentional .
their style of music is very much of a nostalgic , pre-beatles , roots rock 'n' roll orientation .
during their `` classic '' period , the band 's output consisted largely of revved-up cover versions of well-known 1950s rock 'n' roll songs in addition to their own original material .
in this sense , hurriganes can be viewed as finland 's answer to british pub rock performers of the 1970s like dave edmunds and dr. feelgood .
the founding members were drummer and vocalist henry `` remu '' aaltonen , bassist hugo christer `` cisse '' häkkinen and guitarist ilkka `` ile '' kallio .
kallio temporarily quit the band in the spring of 1972 , being replaced by guitarist pekka `` albert '' järvinen who made it the band 's most famous composition .
pekka `` albert '' järvinen -lrb- born october 25 , 1950 in lahti , finland , died march 24 , 1991 in london , england -rrb- was one of the best finnish guitarists .
he is most well known as a fast-fingered and skilled guitar player of finnish rock band hurriganes .
he got his stage-name albert from one of his idols , blues guitarist albert king .
