We fit perfectly to the "folky progressive psychedelic spacerock-trance"-genre, also known as ASTROBEAT!!!
Originally conceived in 1999, the group of five self-taught musicians soon evolved into its current embodiment as Hidria Spacefolk and having already seven releases in their catalogue. The outfit has performed over 200 shows in Finland as well as toured in the Netherlands and Denmark. Probably the most important gig to date was their widely acclaimed performance at North America's biggest progressive music festival, NEARfest 2004. The show went so well that NEARfest records released it as a CD, Live Eleven a.m.
2005-2006 the band continued gigging in europe and russia (Budapest, Moscow etc.) and recorded in 2006 the next studio album, which was released in march 2007 called Symetria. The same year may came out also the second live album, Live at Heart, recorded at Burg-Herzberg festival in june 2006 in front of thousands of music lovers.
The band is at the moment making new tricks for the future and based on the axel Somero-Helsinki-Berlin..
Hidria Spacefolk's high-energy live performance is enhanced with a psychedelic video show that'll turn any venue into a mind-blowing cosmic spaceship - and make no mistake: this ship knows how to party! One of these days they may be landing in your town!
Studion hämärästä esiin ryömivä joukkomme suuntaa kohti uusia seikkailuja suomen suvessa. Tervetuloa kuuntelemaan ja kommentoimaan tulevan albumin matskua.

I have read a very positive review of the album 'Symetria' on www. progwereld. org (unfortunately for you in Dutch). I got curious and listened to your MySpace soundbytes. They are sounding great indeed, worth checking you out! Thanks for adding me, keep on rocking. Cheers from The Netherlands, Teunis.
