Leevi and the Leavings was a Finnish rock band that operated from 1978 to 2003. The band consisted of Gösta Sundqvist, Risto Paananen, Juha Karastie and Niklas Nylund. Sundqvist was the leader of the band, he composed and wrote all the band's songs as well as being the vocalist. Sundqvist was a very private person who rarely gave interviews or appeared on television, but for several years he wrote and hosted radio comedy programs for YLE in which he appeared as himself together with fictitious characters. The band's music had a distinctive sound of smooth multilayered synth-pop arrangements often featuring acoustic guitar, with an occasional lead guitar. It was based around Sundqvist's tragicomic lyrics and catchy choruses. Sundqvist's lyrics often deal with the humiliated aspirations and crushed hopes of "little people", as in the song "Teuvo, maanteiden kuningas" ("Teuvo, king of the highways"), which tells the story of a reckless boy with dreams of becoming a rally champion, or "Pimeä Tie, Mukavaa Matkaa" ("Dark Road, Farewell") which describes the final moments of a family preparing to commit vehicular suicide after they were unable to afford a place to live. Another recurring theme is bittersweet memories of lost romance, as in the songs "Rin Tin Tin" and "Mitä kuuluu Marja-Leena" (How Are You Doing, Marja-Leena?"). Sexual themes, considered from somewhat unconventional points of view, figure in many Leevi hits such as "Sopivasti lihava" ("Suitably Fat"), "Kyllikki" and "Unelmia ja toimistohommia" ("Dreams and office work"). Sundqvist sympathized with sexual minorities in the song "Poika nimeltä Päivi" (Boy called Päivi) which is written from the point of view of a character of ambiguous gender and sexuality trying to escape an oppressive small town atmosphere. Other hits include "Pohjois-Karjala" ("North Karelia"), and "Vasara ja nauloja" ("Hammer and Nails"). The instrumental "Tuhannen markan seteli" ("Thousand Mark Note") from album "Suuteleminen kielletty" was for many years the theme song of "Urheiluruutu", a major sporting news program, on Finnish television. Many people rate Sundqvist's work among the best rock lyrics written in Finnish. A television play based on the characters in his songs was produced and broadcast by Finnish TV. The band was extremely popular, and many of their songs are sung by Finns in karaoke bars. The band was also famous for never performing live. On August 15, 2003, Sundqvist died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 46, and the band decided to break up. Surviving band members later formed band named releasing their first album "Arpapeliä" in 2011.

Gösta Sundqvist était le leader du groupe, il en composait et écrivait l'ensemble des chansons et il en était le chanteur. Il était un personnage intéressant ne donnant que très rarement des interviews et n'apparaissant que peu à la télévision, alors même qu'il animait un programme radio sur YLE, le groupe de radio-télévision national. La musique du groupe reposait en grande partie sur le mélange des textes tragi-comiques de Gösta Sundqvist utilisés dans les couplets avec des refrains accrocheurs. Le meilleur exemple du style du groupe est peut-être la chanson "Teuvo, maanteiden kuningas" ("Teuvo, le roi des autoroutes"). Le texte de cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un conducteur imprudent se rêvant pilote de rallye. Parmi les autres chansons connues, citons "Rin Tin Tin", un souvenir doux-amer d'une longue histoire d'amour révolue, "Unelmia ja toimistohommia" ("rêves et bureau"), "Pohjois-Karjala" ("Carélie du nord") et "Itkisitkö onnesta" ("pleurerais-tu de bonheur"). Beaucoup de personnes en Finlande considèrent que les textes des chansons de Leevi and the Leavings sont parmi les meilleurs qu'un groupe pop finlandais ait écrit. Un programme télévisé, basé sur les personnages de leurs chansons, a été diffusé en Finlande. Le groupe était extrêmement populaire en Finlande et de nombreuses chansons sont reprises dans les bars karaoké du pays. Aussi populaire soit-il, Leevi and the Leavings a la particularité de n'avoir jamais joué en concert. Le 15 août 2003, meurt à l'âge de 46 ans, le groupe ne survivra pas à cette disparition et se séparera officiellement en 2004.
