Biography
Kingston Wall was a psychedelic/progressive rock group from Helsinki, Finland, originally formed in 1987. Influenced by such artists as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, the group combined eastern themes, mysticism and vivid psychedelia with acid-rock. The band consisted of Petri Walli (guitars, lead vocals), Jukka Jylli (bass, backing vocals) and Sami Kuoppamäki (drums, percussion). Walli took the most active role in the band. He formed the group, composed most of the songs and wrote all the lyrics. He was also Kingston Wall's producer and manager and ran the band's own Trinity record label. Kingston Wall went on hiatus after playing their last public gig on 5 December 1994. Frontman Petri Walli committed suicide on 28 June 1995, after which Kingston Wall disbanded. In 2019, surviving members Jylli and Kuoppamäki played a reunion tour with [a=Von Hertzen Brothers], to celebrate what would have been Walli's 50th birthday.
