Finding a drummer seemed to be their biggest challenge and to date Parasite City has seen two drummers come and go, but it was three times a charm when they met ZZ, who officially joined the band in January 2004. Since then Parasite City has enjoyed the luxury of its first stable line-up!

Since forming in 2001 band has performed regularly generating both press and fan interest throughout Europe. Their reputation as an energetic live band has earned them slots for various Finnish festivals and they ve done over 100 shows over the past few years. Their first gigs outside of the Finnish border saw daylight spring 2005 when the Parasites did two shows in Italy followed by two tours in the UK in 2006.

After recording few demo tapes and self-financed EP Parasite City recorded Secretly Mine single on December 2005, which was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa, who has produced for bands like HIM and Negative, and was mastered at Finnvox studio by Mika Jussila, who has worked with Nightwish, and Children of Bodom to name just two!

That single got the big wheel rolling and in spring 2007 Parasite City signed a record deal with Finnish label Hype Records. Parasite City's debut album 10 Hits to K.O now in stores!!
