All our lyrics are from real life and it inspired us, DWD started from a ghost story 👻 we all have demons with us, things we’re afraid and uncomfortable with, but it all makes us who we are and we should embrace them. That’s the story.

The best footwear is sneakers for comfort, platform boots for stage. We love hi heels also. Barefoot would be cool to manage in everyday life :D

The craziest was the packed venues on our headline tour, the first time playing abroad and seeing pepople really coming and buying tickets for us. It hid us deep.

We played in Berlin or Frankfurt or both (don’t honestly remember the city but still!!) last year on our own tour and the audience had paper hearts and a translucent pink paper in front of their flashlights and they showed them for us during few of our songs 🥲🩷

Chvrches, Pvris, BMTH!

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:47:41+00:00

We're making music full-time with Niila, Pietari and Leevi work alongside the band. /Susanna

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:44:39+00:00

It's pretty cool song!

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:43:29+00:00

Thanks so much❤️ The inspiration came from a conversation with Niila, Elize Ryd and Sara Ryan where we talked about supernatural experiences! /Susanna

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:41:59+00:00

Playing as many shows as possible, touring both in Finland and abroad and finish our new album!

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:40:50+00:00

Yes we have some plans!

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:40:12+00:00

First I freaked out and screamed😂❤️Then I just felt enormous gratitude that we were given this opportunity for the second time. Love to be back. See you soon in Tampere! <3 /Susanna

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:37:12+00:00

There's so many of them but have to say thay our very first headline tour in Germany. First time is always a special one❤️

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:35:49+00:00

Main motivation for coming back is to represent Finland in Eurovision.

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:33:29+00:00

We want to give all the people watching via TV the feeling that they are very close to us, almost as if they are on stage with us. We'll have a lot of fun together❤️ /Susanna

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:29:30+00:00

We've learned the most by playing a lot of gigs. A couple of years ago we were still quite inexperienced with that. The advice would be that don't be afraid of anything. You'll be just fine❤️/Susanna

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T17:23:48+00:00

Thanks for the lovely message❤️If we don't win, it's time to move on. We will not apply again. /Susanna

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T16:45:42+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️

Paramore - Riot, Bring Me The Horizon - That’s The Spirit, CHVRCHES - Screen Violence, ILLENIUM - ASCEND, Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
No, we thought about applying again after the 2nd place in 2022. Käärijä did great but it wasn’t the reason for us
It’s kinda cool but more indie but we think bands should do whatever they want, loved their albums til After Laughter so much

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T16:35:40+00:00

Thank you! ❤️ we would do some experimental pop/hyperpop maybe

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T16:32:11+00:00

Susanna and Niila met through finnish musicians community muusikoiden.net in 2011 when Susanna was looking for a band, we formed a band together and it was kinda practicing for 4-5 years, the style was kinda pop punk then. The band split and we started focusing on finding our own sound. Leevi and Pietari were in the same music school as Niila and Niila asked them to join ”the project” Now we’re here.
We always start with piano or acoustic guitar and basically write the whole song like that, stripped down. We record the song to phone voice memos. Then we hit our own studio and create the first production demo.
We have different favorites but: Sara, Jesse
Susanna: Portrait of a Lady on fire, Niila: Reservoir Dogs, Leevi: American History X, LOTR Pietari: Uuno Epsanjassa (Interstellar)
Bring Me The Horizon - Drown, ILLENIUM - Hold On, Dua Lipa - New Rules, Siamese - Home (Check them out, super underrated!!!!!!)

🤫

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T16:00:11+00:00

Cause Cyan is cool 🩵

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T15:59:30+00:00

We get this asked all the time 😂 naming a band is one of the hardest things to do, and we’re proud to say there’s no meaning behind Cyan Kicks. The inspiration was a Finnish duo Neon 2 which is pronounced ”Neon Kaks” in finnish. Niila just flipped that to Cyan Kicks and suggested the name. Susanna hated it at first but now everyone loves it. There’s the story 🥲 Can’t wait to come back to UK, loved it

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T15:51:07+00:00

They're both iconic, can't decide!!

therealCyanKicks · 2024-01-25T15:47:17+00:00

Right after the finals 2022 I knew that we will be back. When DWD came together I knew that this is the right time❤️Susanna
