First band that plays only their own music. Ville and Linde met in the school when Linde came to same school with Ville and they started to play together Charlie Parker. This band was very offensive and in the one gig their singer was drunk and he fell against equipment for lights and the whole stuff falls down and breaks the drums. It took a big time to fix the drums that Ville could play with them). Aurora was rehearsed about a half of year when they started to plan to make a classtrip. They planned to organize hippieparties in their school for saving the money for their trip. Parties had to be on the next week when the principal of their school lost his nerves and screamed that 'you can't make your parties, you'll only smoke your joints there!'. Parties was cancelled and after that pupils went very angry for that principal. The revenge for that principal was the song called 'Martti Ilvonen tunkee kyrpää suoleen' (free translation: Martti Ilvonen put his dick down to asshole). The band plays that song in the autumnconcert of their school and all of the other teachers was almost killed in the laughter. The crowd in concert went insane and started to throw seats around the area. After that Ville and his friends were not welcome to play in the concerts in the school of Oulunkylä. They made another way to save the money for their trip, they sold donuts and stuff like that. They finally arrived to Amsterdam by driving bus through Sweden,Denmark and Germany.
