Popeda is a Finnish rock band hailing from Tampere and one of the staples of Manserock.[1] It was founded in November 1977 by Pauli "Pate" Mustajärvi and Ilari "Ilpo" Ainiala,[2] who were joined by Arwo Mikkonen, Matti Palmunen and Ari Puukka.[3] Mustajärvi, the last original member, left the band in 2023.[4] Following Mustajärvi's departure, the band consists of Costello Hautamäki, Alex Hautamäki, Lacu Lahtinen and Pate Kivinen.[3]
Epe Helenius, who signed the band for Poko Rekords in 1977, called the band "Finnish Rolling Stones".[2] Mustajärvi has cited The Who, Black Sabbath and Neil Young as the band's musical inspirations.[5] Musically their style is a combination of rock 'n' roll, with humorous lyrics by their vocalist Pate Mustajärvi, often concerning girls, cars and drinking.
The name of the band was the idea of Ainiala.[6] Initially called "Punk Rock Pobeda" (from the Russian Pobeda, meaning victory), the name was quickly shortened and stylized to Popeda.[3]
In 2014, the band received the Suomi-palkinto [fi] cultural award of the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture.[1]
