Polaroid

POLAROID BAND BIOAt the beginning of 2002, Grigoris Daralas created the band under the initial name of “Empty”. Their music covers a wide spectrum of guitaristic pop, with influences like the Cardigans, Bjork and P.J. Harvey up to atmosperic melodies of Beth Gibons and French pop of the sixties. Although all the members come from Greece, they prefer English lyrics to better express the British style of the band. For five years, the group has performed in festivals and various live stages, such as the Small Music Theatre, An Club, Ston Aera, Underworld, Day of Music, Europe Forum, Planet Music, Nosotros, Soul Stereo,Ghost house. The band became even more recognisable after winning the second prize at a contest, held by the Music Academy “Nakas”, which offered a scholarship for each of the members. But the true “Ticket to the Stars” was the participation of the band at the Coka-Cola Soundwave contest, with their song under the above title. The need for evolution, eventually led to a new name and a change in the composition of the group. At the beginning of 2007, “Empty” became “Polaroid”, in an attempt to capture the feeling of emptiness by the absence of music on film. Polaroid current members, Grigoris Daralas (guitars), Kelly Arvanitou (vocals), Kostas (bass), Thomas (drums) and Achilles aka Noetic (electronic sounds) keep on grooving, experimenting with new sounds and preparing for a major comeback
