Λίγα λόγια για τις μπάντες. 

45Rats 

Το Αθηναϊκό τρίο των 45Rats από τη δημιουργία του το 2008 δεν έχει σταματήσει τις live εμφανίσεις του σε Αθήνα και επαρχία, παίζοντας instrumental heavy rock n roll. Μετά από την πρώτη κυκλοφορία του Ep "First Gear" (2011) και μια σειρά εμφανίσεων παρέα με μεγάλα ονόματα της παγκόσμιας ροκ σκηνής όπως Samsara Blues Experiment, Οrange Goblin, Radio Moscow, Kadavar και Baby Woodrose, το πρώτο τους ολοκληρωμένο album "Electric" κυκλοφόρησε στις αρχές του 2014 σε 12'' κόκκινο βινύλιο από την Catch The Soap Productions. Αυτήν την περίοδο συνθέτουν νέο υλικό το οποίο ευελπιστούν να κυκλοφορήσει μέσα στο 2015.

KORSIKOV 

Οι Korsikov δημιουργήθηκαν στις αρχές του 2005 (Μάρτιος) μέσα από την ανάγκη για δημιουργική εκτόνωση και δικαιολογία για καθυστερημένες εμφανίσεις σε κοινωνικές συνευρέσεις. Υπηρετούν το riff από τότε μέσα από ζωντανές εμφανίσεις με πολλά δυνατά ονόματα της εγχώριας και αλλοδαπής  heavy σκηνής, κάτω από ποικίλες συνθήκες, έχοντας ηχογραφήσει και κυκλοφορήσει επίσημα το κομμάτι τους "Liqweedator" για τη συλλογή της Spinalonga Records "Miss Fortune was a Henhouse Manager"(2011) ενώ στα σκαριά είναι η πρώτη ολοκληρωμένη δισκογραφική δουλεία τους .

SPACEMENT 

Οι Spacement είναι μια doom μπάντα από την Αθήνα. Κύρια χαρακτηριστικά της είναι τα βαριά ψυχεδελικά riff με βροντερές ψαλμωδίες στα φωνητικά και αργούς, μακρόσυρτους ρυθμούς. Έχει στο ενεργητικό της αρκετά live με εγχώριες μπάντες, από εξωτερικό (Samsara Blues Experiment), καθώς και συμμετοχές σε φεστιβάλ. Η μπάντα σύντομα θα μπει στο στούντιο για να ηχογραφήσει ένα ΕΡ, την πρώτη της επαγγελματική δουλειά.

JAW BREAKER 

Οι Jaw Breaker δημιουργήθηκαν αρχές του 2012 από φίλους με το ίδιο πάθος για μουσική. Μέσα από πολλές πρόβες και πειραματισμούς κατέληξαν σε ενα stoner/southern metal ύφος μουσικής. Το φθινόπωρο του 2013 και μετά απο κάποιες αλλαγές στα μέλη τους, φτάνουν στην σημερινή τους σύνθεση. Ηχογραφούν 3 απο τα κομμάτια τους με δικά τους μέσα και παραγωγή και βάζουν στόχο πλέον τις live εμφανίσεις τους και μετέπειτα την ηχογράφηση του πρώτου τους ΕΡ .

[Live Report] Kadavar, 45Rats live at An Club, Athens, Greece 30/11/2014

Delivering the goods

A few years back the norm was to arrive late at the venue and skip the support band. Tonight that wasn't the case since 45Rats have made a name for themselves in the local scene. It's a classic power trio band that plays instrumental songs. Despite the lack of vocals their compositions where a nice warm up to our ears, while we were waiting for Kadavar. Their presence on stage was subtle focusing on delivering their arrangements. Among others they offered us a preview of two new songs and ended their set with “Prediction: Pain”. They need to work a bit more on their stage presence but overall their performance was flawless.

An club's stage is quite small for Kadavar’s drummer set-up therefore he had to be placed at the front of the stage.  The drummer and bass player were dressed all in black looking like they had come out of an early 70's photo-shoot. It took them about half an hour to set-up the stage and everything started according to plan. Unlike what usually happens in gigs here in Greece, where people have to wait for a long time before the headliners show up on stage CTS productions had posted a schedule of tonight's show and tried to keep to it. I really don't think people minded a ten minute delay. The club was half-full with around 250 punters from a very rough estimate. Those who showed up though for tonight's show were actual fans of the bands. The show started with a few problems since the singer couldn't hear his own voice. That didn't affect the band's performance since we could hear him and he said, that he'll try to sing louder. The second and biggest problem (if you ask me) was all those annoying wannabe photographers that crammed themselves in front of the band at such a small venue essentially blocking the view of the group for the rest of us. Thankfully the band was aware of that and twenty minutes into the show their roadie didn't allow anybody with a camera at the front of the stage, giving us space to enjoy the rest of the show.

As was expected most of their set list was made up of their latest release "Abra Kadavar". Thus the audience enjoyed live versions of some of favourite tracks like: "Living in your head", "Come Back Life" and "Creature of the Demon". Tiger’s relentless drumming stole the audience’s focus from the singer a lot. Mr. Lindermann didn't seem to be intimated by that. On the contrary, he praised both his co-travellers on this trip through time, that's how it felt for as long as their show lasted. It was a trip down memory lane to a past that almost none of us had actually ever experienced, since the majority of the crowd was in their late twenties, early thirties.

Nonetheless Kadavar's appearance that night was thrilling and despite the fact that it was two shows before the end of the tour they didn't look at all tired. Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again soon.

[Live Report] Kadavar, 45Rats, Astray @ Eightball, Salonica, 29/11/2014

Kadavar visited Greece for the second time in their career, after releasing their amazing second album for two shows in Thessaloniki and Athens. Along with them, we enjoyed the well-known Greek band, 45Rats and Astray, a fresh new stoner rock band. Kadavar’s retro sound spread quickly with their first self-titled album and until their second release, “Abra Kadavar” (released by the almighty Nuclear Blast) they have already been a must-listen retro band.

Everybody was chilling on Eightball until Astray took the stage. In 2013, Astray released their first EP and they’ve been composing their first full-length release since then. They have a clear stoner rock sound with heavy riffs and an obvious love for classic stoner rock band such as Kyuss and Corrosion of Conformity. You don’t get the chance to hear new stoner rock bands without other influences, but Astray was pretty close to that. The audience warmed just fine and we listened to a fine band with classic roots. We wish them the best and we’re waiting for their first release.

Afterwards, we watched the Athenian 45Rats. Last year, 45Rats released their first full length album, “Electric” and later soon, “GQ” took their opening track for a promo video with Michael Fassbender! Their sound could be described as instrumental heavy rock with definite 70’s heavy psych and progressive influences. 45Rats was a total fit in this time machine, they shooked us and everyone could feel the evening’s vibe. They also introduced us to two new songs that we’ll be able to listen in their upcoming second release, which we hope to hear from soon.

Eightball was close to full and we were happy to see a variety of age groups in the audience, waiting for Kadavar… Soon enough the first tone of “Liquid Dream” sounded with a more heavy feeling and we dived into Kadavar’s time machine. A lot of bands tend to revive the classic 70’s bands and sounds, but a few make it to have their personal sound at the same time. Kadavar is the kind of that exception and their performance proved us that they actually are professionals. We had the chance to enjoy a full set from both their releases, along with a brand new blast song named “Into the night”.

The impressive thing with their performance was the balanced sound, especially between their rhythm section. Drums were extremely heavy and powerful (Tiger didn’t stop head banging in the whole live!) while bass guitar was grooving in a more steady way. At the same time guitar had many amazing solos and riffs at a very skilful level. A characteristic moment of this description was their beloved “Black Sun”. For an hour and a half Kadavar were endlessly grooving, Eightball went crazy! Soon after their typical closing, they returned and treated us with “Creature of the Demon” and “Purple Sage” for encore and it was just the right thing… It was definitely a gig that the audience loved and that they’ll remember. Kadavar merged their unique cool sound with a retro performance. What makes them so special is that they don’t just cover usual 70’s sounds, they transform them into something new and personal and that was exactly what their performance was about!
