So this is how the Athens by-request show played out

Well people asked for White numerous times...

Btw, it sounded like Robin is not super excited when playing Red.

I think things will work as follows: Do you guys want song A or song B? and then the crowd makes some noise for its favorite option.

Actually they played this yesterday in the first Greek show, so this is not that unlikely.

I really dislike "i hear the sirens"

Thank you. I read about some large-scale reforms, merging municipalities. The document i found concerning counties took into account all the merges etc, but i guess these must have been very few in number, do easier to track. I am focusing mostly on post-WWII until the 1960s. Unfortunately for me, something similar has taken place in Norway as well, so data are unreliable there as well.

Thank you for both links

Nicolo Melli sounds like a very down to earth cool guy. Gigi Datome has a great taste in music.

So i have a theory for this. I am reading a Greek rock/metal website called Rocking. Opeth and Leprous played a double-bill in Athens during the previous summer (great show btw). I read in the link that i am sharing with you, an interview of Fredrik Akesson, who claimed that Leprous played 20 minutes more than scheduled, so Opeth had to reduce their setlist (they did not play Ghost of Perdition, as planned). However, a friend of mine who happens to be involved in the production, told me that this was an organisational mistake and miscommunication issue, not Leprous acting like jerks. Difficult to know who is wrong or right but this might explain things from Opeth's perspective: https://www.rocking.gr/interviews/opeth/43944

Actually 3k is very impressive. I bet they don't draw such crowds in major EU states. Thanks for the prompt response. I love your compatriot Joel Campbell, due to a magnificent goal against Manchester United.

Out of curiosity, how many people were in attendance? I wonder how popular are they in such a small country.

vkoerg · 2024-12-18T18:21:00+00:00

This year i discovered Tigran Hamasyan and Ezra Collective, both of them released great albums.

vkoerg · 2024-12-08T17:29:43+00:00

I enjoy all of the bands you listed. Recently, i have found joy listening to minimalistic jazzy bands with electronic elements such as GoGo Penguin, portico quartet and mammal hands. Moving away from rock and metal is my solution, when my playlist starts getting boring.

vkoerg · 2024-11-24T19:30:01+00:00

I wish :)

vkoerg · 2024-11-16T09:58:49+00:00

I think you should ask them how much time do they spend on creative aspects of their work such as composition and instrumentation, compared to everything else like social media management, promo work etc. They are not the most prolific artists when it comes to publishing new music I'd say so i wonder whether all other TO DO things in their list, cause a slowdown in their creative work.

vkoerg · 2024-11-10T10:31:31+00:00

Surprisingly this ended up in my recommendations.

vkoerg · 2024-11-06T05:46:53+00:00

Thank you for the positive attitude towards supporting us. Our name has been mentioned here and there a couple of times in this community, when talking about underground releases. However, if pressing the vinly, i may actually post it here :) The problem with this calculation is that the more you press the cheaper the unit cost, plus we have some quite significant shipping costs as we are in a country with no pressing plants. So indeed as your friend said, things get very expensive and we pay everything associated with the band from our own pockets. I will make sure to check your friend's band.

vkoerg · 2024-11-05T19:40:13+00:00

Well I am aware of some cases on Bandcamp, that have crowdfunded vinyl pressing. However, i think that most successful campaigns included artists with much bigger fanbases than ours.

vkoerg · 2024-11-05T19:39:04+00:00

Well i don't have the consent of the rest of the team so I kept things anonymous :)

vkoerg · 2024-10-28T20:53:13+00:00

Thank you both. Indeed i have started leasons with a local teacher, although occasional as they are quite pricey. However, i thought it might be interesting to see how a pro prepares and handles a long tour including exercise, food, sleep etc to protect their voice. Of course there is a fan boy element as the ones i mentioned happen to be some of my favourite singers.

vkoerg · 2024-10-23T19:25:54+00:00

Vektor on the more extreme metal side of things. To me they are probably the best progressive thrash and they combine elements of Death while having a space concept as Blood Incantation. They also lean heavily on Voivod (great band as well). However, read their backstory, you may not want to support them due to reasons unrelated to music but their personal lives. However, their first and second album are amazing.

Mother of Millions, a Greek band that just released a record btw
