Lama - Discography, Demo, & Live 1980-1983


"Lama (Recession) is a punk rock band that was founded in Helsinki's 'Puotila' in 1977 and was active until 1983. The original line-up was Jari Kronholm, Timo Eno, Timo Peräniitty, and Jarkko Hämäläinen (Jarko was soon replaced by Jusa Ranta). Rane Raitsikka was also in the final stage of the group. Their rehearsal facilities were in Helsinki's 'Bat', and their records were released by the Johanna Company. Lama managed to release four seven-inch singles and two LPs in the 1980s, their most famous song is on the same-titled single 'Truth can be found in oatmeal'. This song ended up in a TV commercial for an oatmeal brand, but covered by a different band."
