Zen Café
Zen Café is a Finnish rock band that was founded in Turku in 1992. Since late 1990s, the band has been quite popular in Finland, but never spread to other countries, most likely because all of their songs are in Finnish. The band named itself after the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig at the suggestion of band's bassist Kari Nylander. Other original members were Samuli Putro (vocals, guitar) and Mikko Oesch (guitar). Oesch soon left the group and was replaced by Pete Parkkonen (drums).
Current line-up Samuli Putro – vocals, guitar, lyrics Kari Nylander – bass Pete Parkkonen – drums
