Au Revoir Simone live from Athens
June 09, 2010
Live
No Comments
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 due to sound problems with the bass, the girls welcomed us in the simple (almost empty) stage of Bios. "No smoking please" was the first phrase of Annie Hart since she is pregnant (which thankfully m...

EJEKT festival Day 1 (and only)
June 19, 2009
Live
No Comments
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 Lies on stage. I missed the first few songs (including my favorite Fairwell to the Fairground) but managed to enjoy the next few ones. They didn't quite excite me but they weren't half bad either. I gues...

EJEKTing Tonight!

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. First of all, Editors, who are one of my favorite bands and quite good on stage (seen them 2 years ago back in Germany).The other one is the new and up and coming White Lies. Their debut album quickl...

Pains of Being Pure at Heart @ Gagarin (inc. Flakes)
June 16, 2009
Live
No Comments
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 music is clearly following the leads of Arctic Monkey and other british indie rock/punk-ish bands that emerged the past few years. Nevertheless, they really did make us jump around a bit and were more tha...

Feck off Lindstrom!!

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 on stage...To be precise, at 01.20 the stage was still closed. I have no idea what time exactly the freaking bustard actually got on stage since we were long gone..I guess this live was targeting tee...
