paulpihlak.jpgPaul Pihlak stepped into show business in the end of 1988. After teaming up with Jaanus Raudkats and Andreas Lukin, Paul Pihlak started to organize concerts and a very popular festival "Noorte Muusa". At the same time Paul Pihlak managed touring of "Kolumbus Kris"(Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, Russia, USA).

First steps in record industry were marked by a release of Kolumbus Kris' single "Take me down" (and it was a first attempt to design a record sleave - well, not a very successful one). Attempts to get a major label deal for Kolumbus Kris abroad did not work out (hmm, we were bit greedy, to be honest). After all, LP was released in the Soviet Union by the only label available: "Melodija". Times were chaotic, and so the label couldn't find the transportation to deliver the records to Estonia. Label offered the band that if they will find teir own transportation, they will give half of the printed records to the band for free. Consequenses? Well, the person who bought Paul's old apartment discovered loads of it in his basement ..... and lots of loads:)

September of 1992:
Elwood Muusik was established
From the begining of 1994:
Paul worked as night-manager of restaurant Eeslitall. Later on he continued as program-manager.
August 1994:
preparations for opening Café Amigo
December 1994:
Café Amigo was opened, and soon it became Tallinn's most popular
night club

Well, after putting Café Amigo on the road to glory and success, new challenges were required. And not after long guys from "Justament" asked if Paul would borrow them some money for a mixerdesk and a bus, in turn he can put out their "Greatest Hits".
Well, after some calculations it seemed like a good deal....

Now, after many good, bad, ambitious and not so ambitious records, artists and bands, it still looks good:-) Viva la musica!
