Chapter 24’s brand new fully-improvised double-CD "Drop-in/ Drop-out" has finally hit the stores (in Greece) on February 26, 2007. For ordering information please contact [email protected].
Co-established in 1982 by Antonis Livieratos (keyboards) and Vagelis Boulouhtsis (bass) in Ioannina, Greece, the nowadays highly respected yet still unclassifiable "Chapter 24", ("Kefalaio 24" in Greek), were named after Syd Barrett’s song.
Their first album (following a short series of independent home-produced cassettes), "Tin Invaders" in 1988 features lyrics in English and despite the avant-garde reputation of the band, is definitely pop- oriented.
In 1989 the original duo grows into a quartet with the addition of guitarist Periklis Boulouhtsis and drummer Yannis Mitsis and moves from Ioannina to Athens. This line-up is featured in the instrumental album "To Evretirio ton Simptoseon" ("Index of Coincidences" ) recorded between 1989 and 1991.
From 1992 on the band retains the same, stable trio line-up (Antonis Livieratos, Vagelis Boulouhtsis, Periklis Boulouhtsis). After some years of rare appearances they are now fully active again.
Besides Chapter 24 , Vagelis and Periklis Bouloujtsis are also recording as "OMMA" while Antonis Livieratos after three solo albums and various collaborations with several bands (Sigmatropic, Illegal Operation etc) as a producer and/or musician is now also part of Dr.Atomik band.
