Greek Indie Chick made in Brooklyn (Anastasia Dimou’s Cruel Black Dove)
Since our blog is entitled Athens66 I guess we have an obligation to post any band with Greek elements (no matter how spare these may be). So, after Yannis Philippakis' Foals this time it's a Greek chick that is taking the lead. We are talking about Anastasia Dimou who is leading Brooklyn-based indie band Cruel Black Dove. The band has released an EP titled Full Powers and is (amazingly) still unsigned to any record label. With Anastasia's wonderful voice (with flattering resemblance to PJ Harvey), their dirty sound and their current cover on The Trip Wire, I'm sure it won't be long before they are snapped by a label in the next couple of months. Be sure to check them out on MySpace and we'll definitely follow their next steps. Until then, enjoy their video for Love Song. Greek chicks rocking the world (at least attempting to..)

PS. I love the fact that the band's name is the combination of track 2 & 3 ("Cruel" & "Black-Dove") of Tori Amos' From the Choirgirl Hotel album (doubt it if this is where they got their name from though)
PS2. Doubt even more (probably certain) if Anastasia has ever been to Greece (since she spent most of her life between NY and LA)
