KlamydiaKlamydia (Finnish language for Chlamydia) is a punk rock band from Vaasa, Finland. The band's name was chosen because it was the worst name coming to their mind. The band was assembled in year 1988, and it has been continuously active since then. The history of the band is long and eventful. The band has published a lot of records with a very short interval (about one LP per year), and it has experienced many line-up changes. The only original member is the current vocalist, Vesa "Vesku" Jokinen, who is also the front figure of the band. The band is notable for founding its own record company, Kråklund Records. Klamydia has always been renowned as a humour-band, but they have a lot of songs criticising society, and other songs about serious subjects, like incest as well as love songs. However, critics do not appreciate Klamydia's records much. Nevertheless, their records have always sold well, the total amount of sold records being over 800,000, which is a notable number in Finland. In the year 2001, Klamydia was rewarded by the City of Vaasa, who granted a culture prize for Klamydia's long and successful career. This aroused a lot of criticism in the city, because people didn't appreciate rewarding a vulgar-styled vulgarism humour-band like Klamydia. The band itself took the whole thing as good free promotion promotion (entertainment) . Klamydia has also gained some popularity in Germany, where it has been touring Concert tour ; it has also published a couple of records there.
