22 Pistepirkko is a Finnish band. They are often referred to as "the bastard sons of John Lee Hooker and Patsy Cline".

They play a strange and beautiful kind of arctic blues.

As a true modern garage-band they now incorporate modern electronics in their music - it still sounds like 22 Pistepirkko, though.

Their lyrics can be hard to understand sometimes, since 22 Pistepirkko has their own version of the English grammar.

22 Pistepirkko translates to something like "22 Ladybird".
