Darnakes

About Me

11 members,21 instruments,53 strings,4 horns nozzles,6 singing throats,1 blondie,1 console and a rented van.With this line-up and before recording our first CD,we've toured excessively throughout Northern Greece and we've played at all the concert halls of Thessaloniki,as well as in "Terminal" balkan fest in Ljubliana,Slovenia,not forgetting the countless gigs on Amsterdam's streets for raising money to get some Skunk. Darnakes think of their music as a "power greek-speeking ethnic" or a "balkan post-gypsy punk".Ultimate goal of the band is the destruction of modern greek music and evolving balkan punk into a religion.Last but not least,Darnakes will play for free, for any good cause(as long as the money is good..) ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- DARNAKES:"A tribe of Serres (north Greece) with great tradition in singing and dancing" or "a tropical parrot found in Tzimputi" or "expensive wine made in Morwind" or "kamasutra position that helps you became tantra" or "J.A.F.N". ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- "Virgo" is our first CD for the alternative label "ANoKato"records ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
