What's the greek word that means "groove" really?

About Me


Dr.Vodkatini were formed in late 1998 (or early 1999? We don't remember!) by some friends musicians, with the purpose of combining several kinds of uplifting black music with a "bon viveur" lifestyle and the real entertainment of what we call "a live show"! Since then, the band has made a huge number of live gigs in small bars, big clubs, beach bars, big festivals, private parties, events all over Greece, and the band keeps walking! Some of the places were the band has performed are: Club 22, Lab 22, Deluxe, Zoo, After Dark, Spirit, Bebop, Athina live, Mike’s Irish Bar, 5/4 Cafe, Guru JazzUpstairs, Lallabai (Aegli-Zappeio), Planet Music, Skoufaki, Enzzo De Cuba, Okio Music Cafe, Art Deco, Praktiker Store, 2nd International Lounge Festival, European Music Day, Vavel Festival, Earthdance Festival, Kamari Festival (Santorini island), Apothiki C (Thessaloniki), Club Hippodrome (Corfu island), Club Mylos (Skyros island), Club Cream (Naxos island) and many more...
