Default Maps have changed their name
Yep after much discussion and bickering we have come up with a name we're all happy with.

We are now called Kartta.

We had to change our name due to another guy called Maps who seems to be doing rather well for himself and has an album due out on Mute.

Also check our Myspace after tonight(Sunday) for a new song.

Any explanation as to the meaning of the name? Or do we have to find that out ourselves?

I can't decide if i should tell you or let you seek the answer yourself. It'll probably only lead to disappointment either way.

Let's just say it's not as big a name change as it may seem.

They're not close at all really, Finnish is somewhat different to most European languages (Estonian and Hungarian are closest, but they're not close at all) and most definitely different to the other Nordic languages.

But yes, nice name change

I like the new name. I'm also glad I didn't send the PM I was planning before the other Maps played at Tut's last week (expressing my delight at getting the chance to see your band), I might have looked a fool...
