These are in no particular order...[001] Suburban Tribe
[002] Cosmos Tango
[003] Torpedo
The band was formed in the late 90's, and Burton played keyboards and bass, and also did backing vocals. He left Torpedo in 2000 to play keyboards for HIM, when Zoltan Pluto left the band.
[004] HIM
HIM was formed by Ville Valo back in 1995. Ville (vocals), Mige (bass), and Linde (guitar) are original members. The band's original keyboardist was called Antto Melasniemi, and he was with the band from 1995 - 1998. On drums they had Juhana Rantala, who was with the band from 1995 - 1999.
From 1999 until now, Gas Lipstick took over drums. Zoltan Pluto took over the keyboards, but he was with the band for only two years, from 1998 - 2000.
So Burton (yay!) took over in 2000, and has been with the band ever since :)
