The Sound Explosion were formed in Athens, Greece, in May 1991 by four young gentlemen obsessed with all the great mid 60's garage and beat bands from all parts of the world. The line up was John (vocals, 6 and 12 string Vox guitar, harmonica), Jim (Eko bass, backing vocals), Stelios (Farfisa organ, maracas, backing vocals) and Stavros (drums, tambourine). The band started playing alone and together with other bands, such us the Fuzztones, Dead Moon, the Marshmallow Overcoat and the Others. Their wylde stage act attracted the attention of garage freaks from all over the globe. As a result, the band started recording and releasing various 45's and a full length LP/CD, which got rave reviews from fanzines and magazines and considerable airplay from radio stations worldwide. While things started looking promising for the band, studies, day jobs, army obligations, some "internal frictions" ("we hate each other in the band" was a common phrase in the Sound Explosion ranks!), alien abductions etc, sadly put a sudden end to the band in early 1997. It looked like The Sound Explosion were gone for good! Yet, some things never change...
So, you're right kids...
THE SOUND EXPLOSION ARE BACK!!!
About a few months ago we got again back together, which is something we would never expect to happen again ever. The line is the same except for the organ, which is now handled by our brand new member Stelios Askoxylakis, who replaced Stelios Drissis, who now resides in Belgium and still remains a friend. Don't expect any big changes in our sound. We still play that old 60's styled garage punk. Currently we are rehearsing, trying to remember our old material and writing new songs and trying new cover tunes, as well. Since we've been back in action, we've done gigs here in Athens, in Salonica and Italy, and are also planning some more gigs and we may even release some new records, so watch this space!
Only a few months after the release of their debut 7”ep Heartbreaker The Snails are ready to smash your brains out with their swirling harp And haunted fuzz Guitar sounds!!!!
SPECIAL GUESTS: The Rookie Surfers from Athens LOS INTENSIVOS
After show All niter garage punk Party with tunes from The 60’S Till Nowadays!! On the decks: THE CRASHER
Ναι! Είναι γεγονός κάτι που εδώ και
καιρό είχε ανακοινωθεί και όλοι το περιμέναμε: Οι Coalminers σε
συνεργασία με το Stage Club παρουσιάζουν τους Αυστριακούς Incredible
STAGGERS στο πρώτο τους live στην Ελλάδα !
Οι αλλεπάλληλες συμμετοχές τους σε μεγάλα μουσικά φεστιβάλ τα
τελευταία χρόνια όπως το Beat Explosion, Cloud 9, Get a Buzz, Slammer και
Freek Fest, όπως και Cavestomp Festival δείχνουν αν μη τι άλλο ότι ξέρουν
να συγκινούν την sixties αναβιωτική ευρωπαϊκή και όχι μόνο κοινότητα, με τον
ακατέργαστο garage ήχο τους. Έχοντας στο ενεργητικό τους 4 singles, ένα
LP και ένα split LP φτάνουν στις 28 Νοεμβρίου για μια και μόνο live
εμφάνιση στο Stage Performance Venue, στην Λάρισα.
Την συναυλία θα ανοίξουν οι Βολιώτες The Jacks , ένα πολλά υποσχόμενο
garage/groove σχήμα που ήδη έχει κυκλοφορήσει ένα ωραιότατο EP single (με
4 κομμάτια) με τίτλο ''Baby'' , στην Fuzz Overdose records.
Φυσικά οι djs από τους CoalMiners θα
επιμεληθούν για την μουσική επένδυση του event (πριν
και μετά το live), πάντα μέσα από δίσκους των 45 στροφών , σε ένα
60’s πάρτυ που προβλέπεται να φτάσει μέχρι τις πρώτες πρωινές ώρες.
Thank you for adding my new author page. I will have a few songs from the soundtrack on the player soon, but will link my music page for more songs. My fiction novel with a CD soundtrack is due out in a few weeks. It will be at CD Baby, Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc. Keep in touch.
Wishing you a great musical week. Hope all your projects are on track.
