VG+ 2009 release. Astro Can Caravan is the latest addition to the ever expanding Ricky-Tick roster. The orchestra was founded in the heartlands of Eastern Finland in the summer of 2001, and from the very beginning the direction was towards the outer space. During the years Astro Can Caravan has gone trough many changes, but in general things have always revolved around Otto Eskelinen, Tomi Kosonen and Pharaoh Pirttikangas. In the latest form of the band’s evolution, these three central stars are joined by other musicians from the Hall of Fame of new Finnish jazz and rock:, Rasmus Pailos, Pentti Dassum, Tuomo Kuure, Tuomas Eriksson, Tapani Varis, Joakim Berghäll and Pauli Lyytinen.
