'Reminiscent of 80's power rock but with a distinctly modern take. Prepare yourself for a nostalgic future sound. Eutopia ROCK!' (Lucretia/Investor)
'To me, this contemporary British rock band somehow succeeds in sounding both mid-80s and mid-European, both in a good way! The texture of the sound is fantastic, due to prominent keyboard and multi-tracked guitar work. "Life" is the standout track for me, but the folk rock style chorus on "Wave Goodbye to Yesterday" (see myspace) should make it a stadium anthem once they achieve inevitable mega-stardom.' (R.Markham/Investor)
Lets make 2010 the'EUTOPIA' year!!
Greetings space cadets! Welcome to the music of 'Eutopia'. The Greek term 'Eutopia' means a 'perfect, safe and good place', which is the same of our music and our fans! (good music and greater fans!!) Your comments and opinions are always welcomed...so please comment away! For latest developments.. Watch this space and Hope to see and meet you all when we play live!!
The band features the playing of guitar virtuoso, Alexander Kotziamanis,
who is the main driving and creative force behind this super-group.
Alexander is left handed and yet plays the guitar right handed.
(Darn, I'm right handed and I'm still wondering how he does
those mad arpeggios with tapping?!?! -I guess that's why
I'm never going to play pro! - ed.) Alexander is totally self-taught.
'I was 15, and I saw my bro playing guitar with another friend....
and I just thought..I can do that, easy! So that's when I began
to learn. I could only play two things for a whole year -'missi'
(mississippi) blues' and the beginning four bars of a Def Leppard
song called 'Women'. I thought I was just awesome....my parents
and friends thought otherwise!!' I took Leppard, Van Halen, Bon Jovi
, The Police, Deep Purple, Coverdale, Megadeth, Zeppelin, Free, Maiden, Clapton, Duran Duran, Theodorakis, Hadgidakis, Dalaras, Alexiou, Hendrix, Queen, Yngwie,
Di Meola, Abba, Elvis, John Williams, Cat Stevens, Priest, SRV, Beach Boys,
J.S Bach, A. Vivaldi, Haydn, Handel, W.A Mozart and Beethoven....put them in the
blender, and Eutopia is the result!' (real haute cuisine! haha! ed)
Alexander plays Fender electric guitars and on those quieter moments he uses Godin multiac nylon and Ovation custom legend (This is the acoustic used to record 'I'm Not Alone!) acoustics. He is also particularly fond of the HM series strats and Vintage sunburst electrics. For Amplification Alexanders main driving tone is found in ENGL amplification, but he is also very keen on the tones of Fender vintage + Marshall plexi amps also. A big fan of vintage and modern effects, Alexander uses (and forever sings the praises of!!) Keeley,T-Rex, Morley, Analogman and Boss pedal units. (check blog for a complete run down of Alexander's sound rig soon.......)
Eutopia are truly dedicated to their art of writing, what is
best described as 'romantic solid power metal pop!'
Citing influences from Beethoven to Elvis to Def Leppard to Greek
traditional music, this is a very eclectic musical background.
More fun stuff to follow.....
