Bio:
In September 1999 they recorded and released their first homonym album with the record label Planetworks. The album contains eleven tracks including one orchestral and one Radiohead adaptation and received excellent critiques even from the so-called “difficultâ€
critics. The singles that distinguished and also became music videos were: «Isoun Pantou» and «Taksidiotis tis Erimou».
15 50’s music route closely follows a print called Rocumentary which is distributed for free all over Athens. The idea for this issue begun from an ordinary poster that looked like a newspapers front page and announced the bands live appearances. Eventually, the poster was transformed into a few pages issue, which recorded some aspects of the current timeline in Athens and of course, it basically announced 15 50s news.
In November of 2004 they released their second LP, with title «Kapoia Kyriaki», with the record label Energy Team. This album also becomes a subject of excellent critiques from the entirety of the music (and not only) press. This time, conductor of the production are the 15 50 and in charge of the sound mix was their formerly singer Iosif Moshopoulos. This album contains 12 tracks. The album’s first music video is the track «Kapoia Kyriaki», and was played in all Greek music channels.
In October of 2007 MBI releases their third album with the title «Osa Mporeis», which contains 12 tracks including an adaptation of a popular song in Greece called «Den Eisai Edo», which was first sung by Greek singer Dimitra Galani.
Since their formation (beginning 1998) they have appeared in clubs in Athens and all over Greece. From May 2005 until May 2006 they accompanied Greek singer Vassilis Papakonstantinou in his pan-Hellenic summer and winter tour with over 100 live appearances in Greece and Cyprus. 15 50’s live appearances characteristics are their impressive stage performance and their avant-garde choices.
