Dasputnik, Finland
News: The band are still active and have released their 3rd album in 2016 entitled Psykhixplosion. It appears to be LP only, which isn't ideal. I don't own it yet. The wording on the Facebook page indicates this is their final album, but it could just be lost in translation (words like "our end" and "3rd and last" could mean "our last album" and "3rd and latest" in context). Though the website is kaput, there have been a couple of recent posts on Facebook.
Location: Turku
Overview: Dasputnik are an energetic and tight Ozric Tentacles styled space rock band, with furious guitar leads, synthesizers, a crack rhythm section and melodic sax. Up there with other great Finnish bands like Hidria Spacefolk and Taipuva Luotisuora.
