Carillo, a former Finnish girl band, now an auntie band, formed in 1987, made a spectacular comeback in 2023 at Rytmikorjaamo, Seinäjoki. The band is now set to release a new EP via Finnish Secret Entertainment and the second single 'Näkymätön Nainen' (eng. Invisible Woman) is out now!

Carillo's new single "Näkymätön Nainen" is a bold and timely song. The song is about how society expects women to become invisible when they reach a certain age.

There have been several studies done on what happens when a woman doesn't move to avoid a man on the street: the man walks towards because he assumes she will move.

Comments from the band:
"The Invisible Woman is about the experiences of middle-aged women in a world where they are assumed to be silent bystanders. But what if they don't?

Invisible Woman is a good example of Carillo's ability to combine profound, self-deprecating lyrics with catchy pop rock music with a touch of punk rebellion."

"Yes, it's drawn from my own life. I've been singled out since I was a kid and I've been bullied too. Often I wanted to become invisible, but at that time it didn't work out. Nowadays a more invisible life is sometimes quite nice and I can take the attention when I want it."

"I'm also the horror of the job market at the moment, a middle-aged woman looking for a job," says Anu.

BIOGRAPHY:
The former girl band, now known as an ‘auntie band’, Carillo, was formed in 1987 during middle school recess. At the time, none of the girls knew how to play any instruments, and they kept changing instruments according to mood. Carillo became a local sensation after recording for a French New Wave label in 1988 and touring France in 1989. The release has been sold in Japan and North America, and fan mail poured in, especially from France, Germany, and Poland. Carillo's last gig was in 1994 at Nummirock.

In 2023, Carillo made a spectacular comeback on the stage of Rytmikorjaamo in Seinäjoki. The approach to their work is more relaxed now, with a generous dose of self-irony. "This world needs more Aunt Attitude, “Auntitude." Auntitude is summarized as the joy of playing regardless of skills. We are learning to take ourselves less seriously, and yes, aunts can still sing punk!

Music style is always difficult to categorise, but the band describes their new musical style as follows: Auntitude with versatile flavors. Based on pop-rock with a hint of the 80s and a touch of punk. Served with self-ironic Finnish lyrics, experience brought by age, and witty humor.

During their youth, femininity wasn't emphasized, but now women see this aspect in a new light.

"As young girls, we wanted the music to speak for itself, and we went on stage quite modestly dressed. Now we're enjoying this new opportunity. Aunts rock!"

"Age may have brought us a couple of wrinkles, so it's not suitable to go on stage looking serious and with furrowed brows."

"We might not have developed much during the 30-year break, but we believe we can now take it easier than when we were young. We're serious but with a relaxed attitude!"
