Disco Ensemble is a Finnish post-hardcore/indie/punk band. History Early years (1996-2002) The band was formed in 1996 by drummer Mikko Hakila and guitarist Jussi Ylikoski. Originally they were named simply DisCo. but they were forced to change their name to Disco Ensemble due to a Finish electronic pop group having the same title. The band played small venues and quickly gained notoriety in the local music scene. In 2000, future singer Miikka Koivisto attended one of their shows as a fan and later joined the band, first as a guitarist and later switching to vocals. After the three band members moved to study in Helsinki, they went through a number of bass players until Lasse Lindfors joined the group as a permanent member. The band released their first EP Memory Three Sec in 2000. This was a lo-fi recording and it did not receive much attention. More notoriety came with their second effort
