Heikki Malmberg

My very first friend on 43things… We’ve had many great chats ‘n I’d love to talk with her over a cup of coffee more than over the internet… She’s great!!!

Well, to be honest I’ve only met Jarppi. He came to meet us at the backstage after a gig I played With Dame. I’m the one with the cam in hand…

I met her during this years Popkomm in berlin. We had just played a gig with Diablo at Club23, and headed for Rock Cafe Halford to get some drinks. For our surprise they had a preview of Doro’s new DVD that night, and we had a chance to meet her. How cool is that?

I have a crush on her! Too bad she doesn’t exist… :(

I’ve also recorded an album with Tommy Ilmarinen called Black Satin.

I was born on september 29th 1981 in tampere, Finland. I’ve been playing drums since the age 13 off of which last seven years or so as a professional musician. In 1999 I joined a band called Snakegod. I recorded one album (Invitation) with that lineup, but before long problems within the lineup started surfacing, and I decided to leave the band. I Joined Diablo in summer of 2000. They had just finished recording their debut album Elegance In Black at that time. Up to this date, I’ve recorded three albums with Diablo:Renaissance (2002), Eternium(2004) and Mimic 47(2006). In March 2006 I got an offer to join Dame. Dame started as a solo project of Emilia “Emppu” Suhonen, guitarist of an all girl band TikTak. I also play in a band called Manzana.
