"Of all the performances at this year's Avanto The Leo Bugariloves was formally closest to traditional music, but still oh so far from it. Keyboard player Pupu Lihavisto embraced kitschy sounds in a style reminiscent of Aavikko, but with considerably less taste. Ruki Vehr had problems with his guitar, but when it was audible his angular & unpolished playing created the missing link between Läjä's harsh vocal delivery and Lihavisto's trashy soundscapes."
