Some of this story is true, some is made up and some is just rumors.
Hi. - Hello.
His condition got worse quickly.
Dad! Pertti just came from Helsinki.
He's here now.
The doctor said this is it now.
So if you want to say something,
make your peace with him, now is the last chance.
Just do it!
Faster, faster! Or are you fucking candy-asses?
How much more, dad? - As long as I say so.
Faster. Faster!
Take five and repeat.
And Pertti, try a little.
You're completely useless. No good at all.
Where are you going, boys?
That's enough!
Fucking miss pussy!
Why does dad hate me?
He beats Ari, too.
But not as much as me.
Pertti, you're a lovely boy, there's nothing wrong with you.
Just believe that everything will be okay.
Everything will be fine eventually.
Take these to your whore!
Teach your new bitch to fix your hair!
MY NAME IS DINGO
Who's that?
Never seen him before.
I thought I knew all musicians in Pori.
Gimme the last one.
"There are spidermen, there are shy hearts..."
What the fuck? - They're my lyrics.
Gimme that. - Take it!
Boys! Show that to me, too.
I knew you can draw, but this is all new territory.
There are so many of them!
I started writing out at sea, nothing else to do.
"Beautiful girls looking out the window -
at empty bottles coming ashore."
A shy man doesn't dare to approach women except when he's drunk.
Why don't you say that, then? It's fucking nonsense.
I think this is really great.
Are you going to see the old man?
Go see him.
He hasn't been in touch, either.
He might still like it.
Whatever.
Look at that outfit! Is he trying to get a beating?
Didn't we see him on the bus?
Thanks!
This was Sir 59!
I'll ask him to join our band.
Why? We don't know him.
He can't even sing. We don't need anyone new.
You can see he has done more than started bar-corner bands like us.
Fuck you!
Nice gig.
You're cool. - Yeah, sure.
I'm Pertti. - Pepe.
The girl in the leather jacket, the same girl has seen hell.
The girl in the leather jacket, the girl who has believed in people.
The girl in the leather jacket, the same girl who has seen hell.
The girl in the leather jacket, the girl who has believed in people.
Will this ever succeed?
What if we're stuck forever cleaning these fucking windows?
Well. - Hi.
Looks like you're back. - As you can see.
What are you doing with your life?
I have a job. Cleaning jobs and...
I live in a studio over there, and play in a band.
I see.
At least remove the earring.
And cut your hair.
It would be easier to get a decent job.
My old man.
Hey, hey!
Hey!
Join me for coffee.
Or somewhere. Wherever.
I'm Pertti.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'll wait for you on Tuesday at the bridge around 8.
If you can't make it, I'll still be there next week.
And the next one. And the next one after that!
I've been here every week.
I heard.
Fucking crazy.
Let me down!
We're MAC! One, two, three, four...
Stop it.
What did you think of the song?
Pretty shitty.
Let me go!
Mom! Do you still have your turquoise lurex vest?
It should be in the closet.
What are you doing with it?
My band's style is changing. - Looks like it.
I hope your dad won't see you in that makeup.
Listen, mom...
I have found a great chick. - Oh?
Who is she? - You don't know her.
Bring her here, I want to meet her. - Maybe.
Can I have this, too? - I still wear it.
When I'm rich and famous,
I'll buy you as many shirts as you ever want.
See which ones fit.
What are these? - Stage clothes.
And here's the makeup. I'll teach you.
I'm not fucking wearing any eyeliner.
You will. Music Fazer will be in Pori, looking for new talent.
We'll go there and look fucking great, everyone.
Like some bitches? - Like rock stars.
Hell no.
Music Fazer is the label for Katri Helena and other has-beens.
We don't want to be with them.
Do we have any options?
We have tried everywhere except there.
I guess we could try.
All right. That's decided.
And Jonttu's fucking boring suit jacket is now history.
Fuck you, guys! I liked that jacket.
We'll get you new gear.
More sinful, leather or something.
Harem pants.
That's what I want. - I'll get them.
I'll beat you up if this doesn't work. I look like a fucking fool.
No, you don't.
We'll let you know then. Thank you.
All right.
Next.
All right.
What do you have?
The name of the band is Dingo.
And I'm Neumann.
Our stuff is so hot you can record it right now.
Well. Let's listen to it first.
I've been awake too long, drinking beer too much.
As soon as I start walking,
the female panther follows me.
Painted toenails, my gauntlet is endless.
Painted toenails -
entered the asphalt jungle.
Painted toenails,
my gauntlet is endless.
Painted toenails -
entered the asphalt jungle.
Painted toenails,
my gauntlet is endless.
Painted toenails -
entered the asphalt jungle.
What are they, damn peacocks, just no feathers in their ass.
How on earth has such a group survived -
in a town like Pori?
Dingo, I presume. - Yes.
Lasse Norres, hello.
Head of marketing, welcome. You've met Timppa, right.
Welcome. Come on in everyone. How was your trip?
You and Me on the A side, Painted Toenails on the B side.
We must talk about the latter. - Yeah.
We did like the whole thing.
Absolutely, it was strong and catchy.
There was only...
This image of hairy dudes getting their nails done.
So I might be completely wrong.
But off the bat I'd say the audiences won't like it.
The lyrics stay as they are.
Let's think. - No, let's not think.
The audience will get it.
They'll like it.
Yeah, yeah. We'll go with it. And the producer.
We're thinking of Pave Maijanen.
So he's good? Good.
Let's see, where can we launch you to the general public.
We suggest the Levyraati on TV.
All of Finland watches it.
We'll pitch it to the network at some opportune moment.
We can get you boys in there.
We can see which ones of your songs we'll include.
I have quite a lot of songs in stock.
very good. - Wait, wait.
You go through the songs for our album with me first.
Yeah, yeah.
Levyraati!
Guys, we're going to be on TV!
I'll wear fake RayBans -
and at the right moment, I take them off and look at the camera.
Pave Maijanen will be our producer! He won't touch anything
he doesn't like.
What if we become as huge as Yö? - Even bigger.
I just wanna play somewhere. Tavastia would be great.
Well, we can always play in Tavastia.
Tavastia!
Hair standing up I walk the streets.
My skinny jeans are ripped. - More volume! More!
Calm down.
Lissu at the hair salon cut my hair again.
I made the image for that shirt.
Horrible makeup! Fucking gross.
This song is so great. - Well, it's not totally bad.
I see a pig with a silver spoon. - Is it really good?
I see the rich who are buying. - I made it for you.
It makes them forget that you and me -
have something they don't have.
You and me at traffic lights.
You and me in slum houses.
You and me in morning dew.
You and me at traffic lights.
You and me in slum houses. You and me...
Goddamnit!
Have I created a fucking child monster?
We've made a hell of a big mistake. We have sold them way too cheap.
This is what we'll do. We'll cancel the summer gigs -
and resell them with double the price.
We could almost triple it. - That's what we'll do!
Nipa, I love you!
Nipa!
Nobody in the bus!
Nobody in here!
Nobody gets in! Stay out!
What have you done to these chicks?
Look at Eve!
Holy shit! - Fucking A!
We beat their record audience here.
Women! Songs to write about!
Now, get me some beer!
Guys, no beer but champagne!
Nipa!
There's a big story on your son.
Yes. - He speaks of his family.
Why doesn't he mention you?
Hard to say.
Listen... I'm not sure if you should write on it.
Sorry. - Sorry.
Can we get your autograph?
Where do I write?
I close my eyes as the night grows darker.
Walking with you on a shore where waves come crashing in.
When I make love to you in my mind, freedom creeps into my cell,
I escape it, faltering for a moment.
Chance that to "delusional". - What?
Delusional sounds better.
Freedom creeps into my cell,
I escape it, delusional for a moment.
What?
Nothing.
Pining away in this cell, broken hearts.
I'll make love to you again and again and again.
I'll throw my key behind the bars.
And longing tears apart my weak heart, heart, heart.
Recording
You're drinking and looking at other tables.
You sneak a peek at yourself in the mirror.
Pitch black stars stare back at you.
Nipa, take off the chains, you're clinking like a Christmas tree.
Sorry, sorry, I got too excited.
Never mind, it's good, but the mic picks it up.
So, we begin with Restless Cinderella, right?
And where will we put Eve's song?
I still think we could have included more of my songs.
Eve, we've covered this before.
I'm just saying now, with some pros here.
I think the ones we picked work well.
What do the others think?
Yes.
Nipa?
We'll go with this.
It has to be artistic, but above all to sell, right?
From Pori to L.A. All right. - Very good.
This is good!
That's it, that's it.
I like this smile. Nipa, are you relaxed?
This is good! - What a star!
You were born for the camera.
Guys, we're making Finnish rock history.
Listen, you have made incredibly great songs.
Thank you.
You were right about the songs on the album.
Eve's songs are damn good,
but the style would be too different.
Let's get a drink. - Nipa, hi!
Isn't it a great party? Jype!
That's Jyrki Hämäläinen, editor-in-chief of Suosikki.
He wants you on the poster for the next issue.
Reetu! Mähönen! Come here!
You probably know this golden boy!
Hi there. - Nipa.
What's going on? All the girls are crazy! Hey, Pili!
Nipa, let's talk later.
Who were those people?
Lasse's friends. Reporters.
I hope you said the whole band will be interviewed.
They only want me.
I will be on a wall-size poster.
Why? We agreed on this. - I dunno why.
They think I'm the most interesting one.
No offense.
I see.
The album could have had more of my songs. - Nope.
There's only one boss in the band, and that's me.
Okay. I'm done.
Come on, Eve. - Fuck you!
Good party. - Where did Eve go?
I think we're getting a new bassist.
Pepe, are you nervous? - Not at all.
It's going to be great, there's only 35,000 people there.
Welcome to the circus.
After the gig, you'll sign albums for an hour.
It'll be fine.
Do you hear that?
Dingo, Nipa!
They are screaming for you.
Nipa, Nipa, Nipa!
You know, Pepe, I've wanted one like this -
ever since Ari and I got remote-controlled cars at Christmas.
I got this exact model.
We were poor as hell back then.
Think how far we've come.
We did it.
We became something.
Well, you did it.
The lead singer of Dingo, Neumann, lives in this house.
You can take photos.
Surely they're not coming in?
Hi there! - Hi.
Some damn bus was blocking the door.
Well, you made it.
Want some coffee? There's some in the pot.
Your life has changed a bit, I must say.
What a show.
You're coming to the old man's birthday party?
Isn't it weird?
Nothing for years,
but now that Dingo is famous, suddenly the doors are open, welcome.
Meet him half-way.
He wants to make peace.
You know it's not easy for him.
He is your father, after all.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Well... How are you? It's been a while.
I'm good.
You must have read in the newspapers, it's quite a circus.
Come on in, now.
There's cake in the kitchen.
Pertti got this when I coached him.
Football in the summer and ice hockey in the winter.
I ran a tight ship, but got results.
I didn't know you kept this.
You were talented. Could have gone to the national team.
If only you had continued.
Dingo's songs are so great. How can you write like that?
Thank you. - You must be proud of your son.
Pertti's music gene is from my side of the family.
But I don't get it: if you want to sing,
why do you have to dress like a fucking circus clown?
Drives the girls crazy. All of fucking Finland.
Hard to imagine.
Once Pertti called me after a gig to go empty his yard.
It was full of little girls.
I called back and said to go empty his own yard.
Little girls. Think about it!
What do they see in our Pertti?
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen any gigs.
Who does he think he's fooling?
He will amount to nothing.
Are there any Dingo fans in the house?
Dingo has proved -
that Finnish music can hit the jackpot!
Beggar's Kingdom sold diamond before it was even released!
This is only the beginning.
Let's hear you shout -
so we can get Nipa on the stage.
Nipa, Nipa, Nipa!
Here he comes! It's Neumann himself!
It's quiet beside me as the ravens shout inside me.
I feel the witches' dance has started somewhere.
The tiger in my eyes, the hunter on my heels.
I taste blood in my mouth as I run away from somewhere.
The big white tigers escaped,
their tracks lost in the Western wind.
A prayer rings out in a quiet mosque -
as the big white tigers disappear in the darkness.
It's quiet in front of me as I kick the doors away from me.
I can feel the big white is out here somewhere.
The tiger in my eyes, the hunters on my heels.
I understand you, you understand me, that's quite something.
The big white tigers escaped,
their tracks lost in the Western wind.
A prayer rings out in a quiet mosque -
as the big white tigers disappear in the darkness.
The big white tigers escaped,
their tracks lost in the Western wind.
A prayer rings out in a quiet mosque -
as the big white tigers disappear in the darkness.
Not now! - It's me.
Is everything OK? - Don't! Everything's all right.
I have been thinking...
Should we ask Lido and Lasse for a little break?
Like a summer vacation?
Now that we are the main attraction at every summer festival -
and money finally comes pouring in? You are not serious.
We've worked nonstop for a year.
I'm just worried about our sanity.
Don't worry about me. But if you're not up to it, say so -
and I'll get someone who understands what this job takes.
That's not what I meant. - What, then?
That's what I thought.
Get off me! Fucking hell!
Let's drink!
To the stairs!
Guys, guys! This was just a test, let me out of here!
Pertti Nieminen is here for a free gig!
I will sing you a serenade! - Shut up!
What? - I'm trying to sleep in here!
Don't fucking pee on us!
I pee where I want to.
So, we have one more thing.
Well?
We set up a company.
Dingo Incorporated.
What?
Why didn't I know about this?
Pete thought it's good to have our guy to look after our interests.
I thought you wanted me to look after your interests.
I resigned from Music Fazer -
so I can focus only on you! - Yes.
You are our manager.
But the money goes through our CEO.
He's Pete's friend from the benefits office. A reliable guy.
Benefits office? - Yes.
Hell no!
Does he know about copyright and royalties?
We thought you'd help him. - Goddamnit!
Goddamnit!
My salary is higher than the prime minister's -
and you make me report to someone -
who don't know a damn thing about this business!
Well, this has been agreed already.
Why didn't you tell me before I quit?
We didn't think it would be a problem. - Of course not.
We're in the big leagues now on our own, no backup.
Pete wanted to make sure we're not being cheated.
Well, let's focus on the positive.
We should think about the new album.
Already? I have no new songs.
The fans are expecting it.
When do I write the songs if we play gigs at this pace?
We have to postpone it, then.
You know...
This is such an important step.
The first album with our own company.
A bit more and then we'll take a good break.
Right?
Okay.
You promised it would get better.
This is my job, fuck it.
You have everything:
The most expensive apartment in town, a Jaguar in the yard.
What more do you want?
Tell me! - I'd like everything to be like before.
Us sharing a studio? - I wouldn't mind!
I love you.
But I never wanted this kind of life.
Forgive me.
Can we move somewhere, where no one knows you?
I gotta go.
Hey...
How you doing, Virrat?
Oulu!
Kalajoki! Sing along!
Someone want to ride piggyback?
Rovaniemi! Are you doing well?
This Eve's new song is amazing.
Yeah, fucking great. - Works for me.
Kill the music, I want some peace.
You can't decide alone.
I can as long as this bus runs on money from my songs.
You don't fucking get it how this is for me!
If someone gets it, it's us.
My quill dips in blood...
He won't respond to my illness.
The skull presses in sealing wax,
it's the Duke's ring in my finger.
And every morning, there's time
to write the same things.
There's magic in the Duke's ring,
it rattles its chains in the morning.
Well?
It's quite different.
Yes, I sank into this weird baroque mood.
Candles, frills, something like that started to surface.
I need to let that sink in.
If fans like it, it's the most important thing. What does Pave say?
If I'm being honest,
this is not the Dingo fans expect.
Of course if we want it to be more experimental... - Yes.
As long as there are hits. We need hits.
Five hits would be good, or at least a few.
Can you take one and make it a hit?
This is the best fucking thing I've written.
If someone in the band doesn't think so, speak now.
Good. Let's record this thing.
Nipa! - Can we get your autograph?
HUGE TOUR 1985
It makes a lot of money, it's only six gigs.
We can't let our fans down. Too bad you don't understand.
Here's too bad for you!
And here's another one! - Oh damn!
Fuck, I come after a long tour -
and there's a raging bitch here.
Where are you going? - None of your business.
You're not going anywhere! Do you hear me?
Let go.
You're just like your father.
Fuck you!
Marika, don't go! I have to do the gigs.
Marika!
Nipa! Gimme your autograph! - Marika!
I have a life of my own!
This is very nice!
How come you bought this for me?
You look tired. Is everything OK?
Making the album takes its toll. But it will be ready soon.
Everyone at work is waiting for it.
They don't talk of anything else.
You've always been such a special boy.
And of course Dingo's third album is guaranteed Dingo.
But there are surprises.
Lyrics and music are of course -
by artist Goldfinger himself, Pertti Nipa Nieminen.
He can comment the record now.
I think it's our best album.
Yeah, in the back.
What about the rest of the band? What do you think?
Total kryptonite.
There's a rumor that you didn't make it to the live broadcast in Dublin.
You have strange sources.
What about fight rumors?
Absolutely not true.
We have to wrap up now, we have interviews set up.
Pete, want to comment the arguments?
No.
Please take an album when you leave.
They are here just for you.
Thank you for coming.
One at a time, some questions.
Do you all still ride the same bus to the gigs?
Yes, everyone rides the same bus.
One bus only. - And it will always be like that.
There's nothing to those rumors.
As we said, the band is doing great.
Next, music from Dingo's new album, The Holy Clan.
The critics are not convinced,
and the record hasn't sold as expected.
Compared to previous success, there is even talk of a flop.
Hello? - It's Lasse, hi.
I thought I'd call to see how you're doing.
Just fine.
The tour organizers have high expectations.
I saw the posters. Pretty damn cool.
I was going to talk about it. I have a throat problem.
I don't know if I can sing.
Your voice sounds okay. Hello?
Fucking hell.
Hey. Albums come and go.
The new one hasn't sold as we thought,
but it only just came out. - It's not that.
I've been thinking about a solo album.
I've started making new songs. They'd be better without the band.
Dingo would definitely be number one, but like...
It would be a change.
Yes.
Of course. We have our own label, we can do it.
But Nipa, the guys are worried.
We have a big tour coming up, we can't cancel it now.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey.
Let's get through this tour,
and we'll take the break. Right?
All right, all right! How is it going?
Everything all right? Good.
Lido told me the audience is on fire.
It's going to be a great night. - How many tickets have been sold?
I don't know the exact numbers.
Not quite sold out...
But... - Ask someone to bring a bottle of whiskey.
How are you, Kokko... Kouvola.
Fuck you!
I emphasized we must have the money today.
They're setting up the stage, but that costs money, damn it!
Nipa. We have a problem.
I said the band won't perform. No money, no stage.
How can I pay the rent if this fails?
Get more from our CEO.
He's given us money before.
Your welfare-CEO has had an empty till for a while.
Shall we stay here for the night or go back to Pori?
Whatever you want. We must pay for the rooms anyway.
I don't get what they mean by there's no audience.
There have been people.
The last ones haven't been full, nowhere near.
I've said this before, but I think we should play more of our old songs.
If you don't like the music, you're free to join a new band.
That's not what I mean. - I'm the boss of this band.
I make the decisions. - Can you hack it any more?
I'm starting to think you can't.
Listen Pete, without me you'd still be washing windows in Pori.
Remember that when you criticize.
Don't fight, guys. - The same goes for you, too.
None of you would be anything without me and you know it.
Get me my beer.
Let him get his own beer.
Shut the fuck up.
Get me my beer.
Now!
Fuck you, Nipa!
Go to hell. I'm firing you all.
I don't fucking need you, I'm Finland's biggest rock star.
You'll see when my solo album hits number one -
and you're scrubbing some fucking floors.
Fucking candy-asses! - Rage as much as you want.
Little missy, all dressed up!
You think your clothes and jewelry fool anyone?
You can paint your face all you want -
but you will never amount to anything.
Nothing at all!
The Finnish phenomenon called Dingo is now history.
After three years on top of the music scene, the group from Pori -
confirmed the rumors of their breakup today.
Dingo and the band's vocalist Neumann -
broke all our country's sales records during their short career.
Little girls brought Dingo to the top of the rock business.
Their albums have sold almost half a million copies.
In Dingo's heyday, their fee -
would have bought five mid-priced bands.
This could be good for us.
An unemployed youth only hopes for little money or work.
Just think. - Since last fall, Dingo's popularity was decreasing.
Their company Dingo Inc is also being liquidated.
The band members intend to continue making music.
Neumann will go solo -
under the guidance of Dingo's manager Lasse Norres.
Hi, Lasse, it's Nipa.
Listen, I need some money.
What do you mean you can't? Fuck!
Let's go.
It's been months now.
It's only gotten worse. He just lies there all day.
Can't even get the papers from the kiosk. - Surely not.
I've told him to see a professional, but you know him, he won't.
He hasn't moved on from Dingo ending, no matter what he says.
On the weekends, he perks up and hits the bars.
It's good he gets out.
Hi. - Hi.
I didn't know you were coming.
I said I could help with unpacking the boxes.
Get the place set up finally. - No need.
We will take care of it.
How are your gigs going?
Very well, yeah. Full house every night.
Well, of course.
Thank you. That was from my solo album Albion.
Hey, Nipa! Play Restless Cinderella!
Yeah! - That's it.
I'll play oder songs. Restless Cinderella.
You're drinking and looking at other tables.
You sneak a peek at yourself in the mirror.
Pitch black stars stare back at you.
You want to be noticed by just anyone.
There are no friends at your table.
No friends!
Everyone knows your Cinderella story by name.
Before, the heaven was open for you, too.
But the evil finger caught up with the run-away.
Here's the chorus!
Life is easy when you have someone to hold onto.
I'd like to be alone.
Pitch black stars stare...
Can I have your autograph? Here.
Seriously, I'm on my break now.
Write it there. - Please leave.
What are you, a fucking diva? - No, I'm not.
You haven't been doing too good after Dingo.
You still think you're a fucking star.
Restless Cinderella was shit of a song.
Bye then, Pertti. Take care.
Don't go. Let's try again. - Pertti, no.
I know I haven't been good to you lately.
But I'll change.
I'll become better, I promise. - I don't know how to help you.
And I don't believe things will change.
You will be fine.
The band has significant receivables from the ice rink tour.
If the CEO of the Dingo Inc -
had set up the bank guarantees as he should have,
the company would have been able to pay the 130,000 marks in debts
The artist foots the bill, right?
Hey, let's go eat before I drive back to Helsinki, right?
Is that your old man?
Just go, I'll step over there.
You came to see as your son lost all his money.
It's a free town. - This has been in the papers.
Bring out the popcorn, a great show.
The world doesn't revolve around you, even if you think so.
Dad, can you tell me which Dingo song you liked the best?
Or haven't you listened to any of them?
Drop it! - You never asked me anything.
Not about the songs or the crazy life.
Not a single word that would tell me you were interested in my work.
It's not a real job, just clowning around.
You know...
That's just your opinion.
All right, this party ends now.
Go home now.
Eat now.
What the hell is in here?
Fan letters.
Trash them.
"Nipa, you're so lovely."
"I've listened to your new album at least a thousand times."
Fucking stop now.
I always listen to it when I'm having trouble at home.
I saw you on Midsummer's Eve at Posio.
For the first time I got the feeling: can someone be like that?
Could I dare to be the way I am?
It's like you're the only person in the world -
who understands me.
When you sing, it feels like you're talking to me.
I'm from a small town and different. You are my role model.
"Without you I don't know where I would be."
"I might not be alive."
You have been important to many people.
You have written songs that people still listen to.
Very few people can do that.
Pertti! Do you still recognize me?
Yes.
My condolences for your father.
You didn't see much in the last years?
No, we didn't. - How are you now?
Are you still doing gigs? - Yes, with Dingo.
In varying compositions.
And those are your sons? - Yes. Miska and Noel!
Come say hello.
Hello. - Hello.
Hello. - Have we ever met each other?
"You're it!"
We're leaving now. - Us, too.
We're staying at mothers'.
When you have time, we need to sort the practicalities.
Whatever.
I can do the paperwork.
But if you want something from there, stop by his place.
I don't want anything. - Of course you do.
No, I'm serious. I don't want anything.
Boys! Let's go.
Listen, mom.
I always thought dad and I would sort out our differences.
That ship sailed.
I brought this to Pertti before he leaves for Helsinki.
Dad's stuff.
I said I don't want anything.
Damn it, why won't you believe.
I thought you might be interested in this.
What is this? - Videos used to be like that.
There were no DVD players. Let's see what's in there.
