Eljas joined Nurkostam in 2006. As being an extremely gifted musician Eljas has moved fast-forward in the musicscene of Tampere playing both drums and keyboards.
Because of the tight schedules Eljas participates Nurkostam-performaces when it is possible. It there are no double bookings, passion to perform Nurkostam-music is huge.
This passion can be quoted. After the Uforock 2009 concert, which Eljas had been listening in the audience, he said:
”O damn, whatta tough gig. For now on I will take part every gig of yours - in the audience!.”
