Band history

Kie from Hertzen

Don Huonot was founded in 1989 by school friends. The band name is a play on the Finnish pronunciation of "D on huono T", which in German roughly means "D is a bad T".

In 1991 they released their first album Silmänkääntötemppu , but only with the sixth album Hyvää yötä ja huomenta ( Good night and good morning ) did they make their breakthrough in Finland in 1997.

They received several Emmas and were one of the most successful rock bands in Finland in the late 90s.

In 2003 they separated after a farewell tour. Singer Kalle Ahola began a solo career, Kie von Hertzen devoted himself with his two brothers to the progressive rock band Von Hertzen Brothers, which was founded in 2001, and drummer Jussi Chydenius sings bass with the a cappella ensemble Rajaton .

Comeback concerts at the Ruisrock and Ankkarock festivals have been announced for the summer of 2010 .
