Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät (PKN), was a Finnish punk rock band. The band were formed in 2009 at a charity workshop for adults with developmental disabilities. They were the main focus of a 2012 Finnish documentary film The Punk Syndrome. They represented Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Aina mun pitää" after winning the national selection, Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu. They finished 16th and last in the semi-final with 13 points.[1] The group disbanded in December 2016 when guitarist Pertti Kurikka turned 60 years old and retired from playing punk rock.
