Whistle Bait was formed when a couple of boys from a small town called Hamina -- Vesa Haaja (vocals and guitar), Vesa Tynkkynen (guitar), Juha Tynkkynen (drums), and Marko Mäkelä (bass) -- joined forces in the spring of '84 and started a band. The Tynkkynen bros and Marko had had couple of bands before this, as The Ghostriders and Pink And Black. Soon after their first gig (May 1984) the band got a fifth member when Jarkko Ravi and his saxophone joined the crew. Now the music that had been pure 50's rock'n'roll and rockabilly slowly changed into jive and swingrock á la Bill Haley.
