Hasn't one of the guys started a record label in Finland where he's producing music under different Finish names? I think I've heard something about this from someone, but I'm totally vague about the details...
And there certainly is something about finding Santa up there as well... if my memory serve me well...

Yes, that's more or less true! Bill Drummond and Mark Manning (aka Zodiac Mindwarp) went to Helsinki, wrote a book about it, and invented lots of bands to make a soundtrack album. Apparently Drummond almost secured record deals for some of the bands, but the record companies wanted to meet them, so he set up a label of his own to release the bands' records... 
There's a whole chapter about it in Drummond's new book "45", which incidentally is a cracking good read...

I'll have to get a hold of that one then.
But do you know the story about Drummond investing some amount of money to find Santa or something. I think it had to do with the trip to Helsinki...
