Yeah, i'm no expert on the subject. But here's the very basics..:

Kingston Wall (1987-1995) = Petri 'Pete' Walli (vocals, guitars), Jukka Jylli (bass, backing vocals), Sami Kuoppamäki (drums, percussion). Walli formed the band, produced and managed it, wrote the lyrics and most of the music and released the albums on his Trinity label. They released three albums while active ( s/t or '1' ('92), 2 ('93) and Tri-Logy ('94) which all are hard to find these days as they were somewhat limited pressings, though they all charted up to some extend in here). They played abroad only once, in Tallinn. They started getting better recognized after their demise (though they had a strong cult following since the beginning). Walli also apparently had a huge Hendrix fixation. There's a cover of 'Fire' (that got some radioplay) on the first album which has more 'hard rock' in it. While the second adds folkier touches. And the third ones just everywhere with it's 'goa trance-prog' (arranged by the guy from Rinneradio and Koneveljet) ... 'Real Live Thing a 3 cd compilation of live material from '92 to '94 was released posthumously in 2005.

Here's their official site from where you can find all this info and much more:http://www.kotiposti.net/akiko/mirrorlandv2/thestory.html
