И текст к ним:

I don’t often post pictures of myself, but in honour of Halloween, it seemed appropriate and they’re so amusing it’s hard not to share.

And here’s the story of my time hanging with HIM.

I used to be a music journalist. I wrote freelance for a national music magazine. The money was terrible, but I did it because I loved writing and music and getting the chance to meet some musicians I admired. A European friend of mine got me listening to HIM back in the early 2000s, so when Dark Light was coming out and the band finally landed a North American distribution deal — meaning they’d be promoting the album in my country finally — I was all over that. I pitched my editor and was like, “Give them to meeeee.”

He called me a few days later and said, “I got your guy.” He’d landed me a phone interview with Ville. I was super stoked. I faked an appointment at my day job so I could go home and take the call there (I had special equipment to record phone calls and it was just easier to do it from home). I was patched through to Ville, who was in England, and we had a chat. I remember him being very sharp and clever and I had to work hard to keep up with him. He doesn’t suffer fools easily — meaning he doesn’t take any stupid shit from journalists and I respect that.

Thus began a 2-3-year stint of being HIM’s go-to girl for press in Toronto. When HIM finally announced a show in Toronto, I contacted Seppo and asked if I could meet the band after the gig (using the “Hey, I interviewed your band and wrote something really glowing to introduce them to the market you’re trying really to break, so howzabout you do me a tiny favour, pleassse” approach) and he was kind enough to pass me on to their now-former tour manager, Tom, (and I ended up getting along with that dude like a house on fire — he was hilarious) and he set it up. Met them briefly backstage at the Kool Haus in 2005 and they were all really cool. It didn’t last a terribly long time and as the other fans left, I was collecting my coat and getting ready to go when Ville said, “Hey, wait a sec …”

“Yeah?”

I’ll never forget this because he was just leaning in the doorway, looking casual and devilish at the same time as he often does. I paused in the doorway and he said, “You’re coming to Montreal tomorrow, right?”

I had told him earlier that I was travelling to Montreal the next night to see their next show. “That’s right.”

“You should come have a drink afterwards.”

“I’d love that, thanks. Um, should I check with Tom ….?”

Ville shook his head and was like, “Nah, I’ll take care of it. It’s fine. See you tomorrow.”

So that kind of blew my mind. I went home, wrote a draft of the review of the concert (write drunk, edit sober!) and the next morning I caught a train for Montreal. The show was insane — the Montreal HIM fans were way more intense than Toronto’s. It was a lot of fun.

That after-party was pretty rad. Though Ville’s demeanour had taken a 180-degree shift in the past 24 hours. He barely said hello to me. And he looked really overwhelmed by the fans clamouring for his attention. He basically sat in a corner and signed stuff and took pictures with the fans. I didn’t take it personally. He just looked exhausted more than anything. I gave him his space and took the opportunity to talk more with the other band members, particularly Mige and Linde, and some of the other crew, who were great fun. Melissa Auf der Maur had come back to say hello as well, so that was amazing. Many beers and many laughs were had. Eventually Tom said we all had to go because he had to get the guys back on the bus and on the road again. I said goodbye to Ville and held out my hand to shake. He took my hand. “Good night, sweetheart,” he purred, then leaned in to kiss both my cheeks, ahhhhhh.

A year went by and when HIM came back to town again I visited with them after the show, along with some other fans who’d gotten meet ‘n’ greet passes. Tom was still tour-managing them. “Let me go get the monkeys,” he said. His affectionate nickname for the band. Tom did stuff like take the band to his rural property and give them guns to shoot. In Montreal, Mige was wearing a shirt riddled with bulletholes from where he’d shot the crap out of the shirt.

I often brought Ville stuff. Mostly books because I was working in publishing by that point. Canadian cigarettes. A DVD of my fave Canadian punk-rock movie, Hard Core Logo. Though I warned him that the ending was pretty bleak. (I won’t spoil it because the ending is really intense, but the film is a pretty gritty depiction of touring life and I imagined Ville could relate to many parts of it.) I have no idea if he ever read or liked the books, but he did watch the movie.

“I watched that film you gave me,” he said that night.

“Oh yeah? What’d you think?”

“It was good. Very funny. But the ending? So fucking depressing. I was not expecting that!”

“Hey, I TOLD you the end was really harsh!”

“Pfffft, I forgot!!”

And, finally, the pictures posted here. The last time I met up with the band. I’m trying to remember what year it was. I cut all my hair off the summer of 2008 and this was Halloween, so probably fall of 2007. I had a new publishing day-job by then and I was getting ready to give up the music-writing thing. But I got to interview HIM one last time.

Tom took me out to the tour bus and I hung out with Ville and Mige before their show. It’s hard to ask tough questions when you’re so fond of a band, so I only grazed the rehab subject and the look on Ville’s face was enough to steer away from it completely. But I remember he looked so much healthier than the last time I’d seen him and I was really glad for that.

They had the tour bus all decorated for Halloween (or maybe it’s just always that way). And a poster of George Clooney, which they joked about constantly. There were fake severed limbs (visible in the pic of me with Mige) and then Ville opened the fridge and took out this fake brain wrapped like a package of meat in a grocery store. It cracked me up and I asked if I could get pictures with them … and the brain.

Mige took the one of me and Ville. And then Ville jumped up on the kitchenette counter like a spider monkey and took the one of me with Mige, so it’s got that kind of cool bird’s-eye view angle.

I got to the end of my questions and said I was done.

“We have 45 minutes to kill,” Mige murmured to Ville.

“Do you need me to go to let other interviewers in or should I hang out for a while?”

“Hang out with us.”

So we shot the shit for a while longer. I taught them some new dirty English slang words they didn’t yet know.

And that was that. I stopped writing for the magazine and the next time HIM came to town they had a new tour manager and I went to the show and it was awesome, but I was a little sad not to be able to say hi to them. They really are genuinely nice dudes. Smart and funny as hell.

I know some of this must read like fanfiction, but it all happened, though obviously the conversation bits are paraphrased.

I don’t do the groupie thing. I just like meeting people and if they’re cool, then I like to hang out. I liked them and they seemed to like me, and I know I was lucky. It was the right time/right place. They were breaking a new market and needed positive press coverage on a national scale and that’s exactly what I was able to give them. It’s an amazing feeling when you dig a band and their music has done a lot for you and in some crazy way you are actually able to do something that helps them even a little bit.

It was a fun period of my life. One of the more positive experiences as a journo. I dealt with some other musicians who were real dickheads, but the HIM guys always treated me very well.


If I should die before I wake, pray no one my soul to take .
And if I wake before I die, rescue me with your smile .
