In the year 2002 some guys were called to join a "two brothers' " group that used to play Greek traditional music.
Ever since some members were added, some members were changed and Darnakes after passing through a big variety of styles, were ended up playing Balkan Gypsy Post enhanced with a small essence of punk.
12 members,20 instruments,53 strings,3 horns,6 singing throats,1 gypsy queen,1 console and a rented van. With this line-up and before recording their first CD, Darnakes toured excessively throughout Northern Greece and many other great places. Darnakes think of their music as a "power greek-speeking ethnic" or a "balkan post-gypsy punk". Ultimate goal of the band is the destruction of modern Greek music and evolving balkan punk into a religion. Last but not least,Darnakes will play for free, for any good cause(as long as the money is good..)
DARNAKES:"A tribe of Serres (north Greece) with great tradition in singing and dancing" or "a tropical parrot found in Tzimputi" or "kamasutra position that helps you became tantra" or "J.A.F.N".
In September of 2005 they released their first CD called “Virgo” under the label of “ANO KATO” records. Their second CD is about to be released at the begining of 2010
FATHER CHRISTMAS OF LOVE As birds am I going to know how to one day steal height with my body of love? As fishes am I going to know how to one day swim at the bottom of an ocean of love? As planets am I going to know how to one day go to the conquest of our Universe of love? By the magic of a poem am I going to know a day with the words that I sow to be a Father Christmas of love?
