So, we kept our promise (to ourselves mostly) and yesterday night we headed downtown to Bios for the Brooklyn girls. Our timing was perfect as we made it just in time for a quick drink (having missed both supporting acts; The Callas and Le Page) before Au Revoir came on stage. After a small delay

Finally, the perfect live to open the summer season (although the venue is by far the worst for such a fucking hot day). The amazing girls from Brooklyn are playing tonight @ Bios and we'll sure be there. Au Revoir Simone here we come!

EJEKT festival Day 1 (and only)
By riverphoenix in Live
Another year, another Ejekt festival at the south of Athens. The venue and organization of the festival was quite good this year. If only there was a bit more audience attending (but the lack of a rock audience in Athens is a big issues which I'm not going to touch).It all started off with White Lie
[..continues]EJEKTing Tonight!
By riverphoenix in Live
Well..due to unforseen factors, we didn't make it to Monika's live yesterday. Hopefully we'll at least make it to today's first day of Ejekt Festival. Legendary Pixies are headlining and along with them we'll catch Starsailor as well. But the other two bands are the ones that we're really going for.

Our favorite greek singer/songwriter Monika is playing tonight at Theatro Vraxwn around 21.30. Hopefully we'll be there this time. See ya!
Pains of Being Pure at Heart @ Gagarin (inc. Flakes)
By riverphoenix in Live
So we finally made it downtown for yesterday's live by PBPH. Before the "main event" however, there were 2 supports to be "served". First up were Flakes, an indie punk/rock/pop band from Patra (and a touch of UK). To be honest, we were happily surprised by their energy and sound on stage. Their musi

After rumours of cancellation (which has become the standard way here in Athens lately), we're all set for tonight's gig from one of our favorite new bands here in Athens66...The Pains of Being Pure at Heart tonight at Gagarin around 21:00 (or most likely on stage around 23:00). See ya there!
Jarvis rocking Primavera

A small take from Jarvis Cocker's performance from this year's Primavera festival. Hopefully BLR will provide more videos, pics and comments since he was our representative there (no festivals for me this year).
Feck off Lindstrom!!
By riverphoenix in Live
We were all set and hyped about seeing Lindstrom yesterday downtown at Bios. Unfortunately, Lindstrom wasn't so hyped himself. We were already at the bar around 22.30 (with the live announced to kick-off around 23.00). Two and a half hours later and not even the support group (Fantasitkoi Ixoi) were

The tighter your grip around me
By riverphoenix in Live
I've been waiting to see Tindersticks for a long time now. Finally on Saturday I got my dream fulfilled (now only Sigur Ros and Belle & Sebastian are left on my list of past-favs-must-see). The set was ready at Badminton theater and after the totally indifferent act of Irish singer-songwriter Da
