The band was founded in 1999 by Jussi and Pasi. The name “Uniklubi” did not exist at the time; they went by the name Pincenez (a French term for a type of glasses without earpieces). The first songs they played were covers of their favorite bands, in English. However, as they began writing their own songs, Jussi felt more confident with his mother tongue, Finnish. They eventually changed the name to Uniklubi (“dream club”), which had no real significance for them.
