Band Members: Nick Dachris, Nick Pavlis, Zoe Dachri, joined occasionally by other obscene entities that happen by. If you're interested in joining in, please, send us a message.
Influences: Too many. Start with shutting off the TV and you will come to understand. Music is a medium of communication, torn apart by the Media. Inevitably we are under siege by whatever gets massive promotion. But we are also prey to rapid technological advancement which we deeply respect, so our major influence has got to be this affordable technology and the capability it offers us to challenge, up to a certain level, the concept of reality.
Nick Dachris is additionally influenced by several Art History readings, Alice Cooper and the Sisters of Mercy (the bands), the stinking shit that is modern Greek society, culture, politics and media, and the global humiliation of being born Greek in times like these.
Sounds Like: ... like modern Greek mental dismantlement. And like trying to breath carbon dioxide and humidity, downtown Athens, struggling for basic human issues with Art as the sole weapon. And like a deep sensual celebration of our passage through existence. And like everything else that isn't imitation. And like millions of muted souls given a voice.
