newZEROgod bio:
newZEROgod formed out of members from greek bands of the '90s and '00s, namely Mike Pougounas (The Flowers Of Romance, Nexus), Dimitris 'Sidhéog' Steves (The Drops, Cabin Fever, Nexus), Averkios Hadjiantoniadis (The Flowers Of Romance, Heroes For Hire) and Costas Spanos (Nexus), March 2006.
During January 2006, Averkios Hadjiantoniadis (former Flowers Of Romance guitar player of the Brilliant Mistakes era) returned to Greece after spending 10 years in Norway playing with his band Heroes For Hire. He met the ex-Nexus members one night in a wild party and the four of them decided to get in the studio and have some fun with the old Flowers Of Romance and Nexus songs. What initially appeared to be a looney idea of four deranged minds, soon developed into a nice thought. Sidhéog came up with a name that he was toying with for a couple of years and the New Zero God saw the light of day.We could say that this was loosely during March of 2006. The, yet, few original tracks of the band have a blend of post punk/dark wave/gothic but their set consists mostly of the Flowers Of Romance and Nexus songs.
On December 29th the band appeared with this line up at Underworld Club.
Line up changes followed with Averkios joining the Shadowlike and Costas not making clear if he will continue being part of the band so they were both replaced by two Past Perfect members, E-raptor and B-abyss.
With this new line up NZG appeared as headliners on the 1st Hermoupolis festival on Saturday 14th of July 2007. During September, the band headlined the Playhouse Gotique 2 festival in Athens and on October the 20th played in Small Music Theatre. About that time the band started recording their debut album and on December 7 the supported the Legendary Pink Dots. Four months later, the band performed at 8 Dytika club on April 19 (Playhouse Gotique nr 3 festival) and on May 26 they supported Christian Death at Underworld club.The band members:
Mike Pougounas, vox
Jim Sidhéog Steves, drums
