The IndieFunda Project

The indiefunda project is a collaboration of independent artists around the globe, who want to create a platform where an independent artist will be able to have financial aid directly from his/hers audience. Check it out!

May Roosevelt

Influenced by the very reverend trinity of Bach, Björk and Klaus Nomi, May Roosevelt is an extraordinary thereminist, composer and producer with a sense for good, old-fashioned drama. Her classical arrangements will give you the shivers (or, at the very least, remind you of movies that gave you the shivers), with nods to early industrial or electronic music and a passing resemblance to the god of thunder behind a theremin. Like many people, she got into music via her first Casio synth as a kid. If her knack for otherworldly sounds is anything to go by, that Casio must have been possessed by some very restless and musical ghosts.

2L8

2L8 is the project of K the Clown and a team of collaborators and musicians based in Thessaloniki, North Greece.

Berlin Brides

The Berlin Brides’ sound is a hybrid of electro, punk and powerpop. They were founded on September 2007 by Natasha Giannaraki, lyricist and lead singer and Marilena Orfanou, keybordist and composer who gives the band its electronic identity. Conceived in Berlin and formed in Greece, they are reinventing the music scene in Athens with their caustic lyrics and their combustible live performances.

Electric Litany

The story of the band started, when Alexandros and Richard met in London. Alexandros moved from Corfu to London, while Richard was leaving Devonshire for London in search of forming a band of his own. Duane was the last member to join the band, since he was found by Alex and Richard through an ad. Their first rehearsals were taking place in some pretty unusual places, like abandoned and derelict buildings.

New Zero God

New Zero God is a Greek punk/post punk rock band formed in 2006. Their popularity in Greece may be due to the veteran musicians who make up the band; as most Greek rock fans were already familiar with Mike Pougounas and Averkios Hadjiantoniadis from The Flowers Of Romance, which is considered a legendary Greek gothic rock group.

GAD

9:51 PM Nikolas L No comments

The whole story began in 2004, when Hercules Anastasiadis (Atria) and Kostas Antoniadis (Narrow Paths), decided to compose a track for the Greek Electro Vol. 2 compilation. Their friendship and their mutual respect for the work of each other became the ideal recipe for this project.

In 2005, during the album's recordings, TC, Antonis Antoniadis and Spyros Papakotsis joined the group and GAD. started to perform in various stages and festivals.

Finally, in 2007, "System May Fall" is being released by Shift Records and Mike Semertzoglou became the missing piece of the puzzle...

Their debut album was a success and the single "The End Of The Road", one of the biggest radio hits for 2008. GAD. opened for Nouvelle Vague and Chicane and they're still on the road for shows...

In 2008, GAD. co-produced the Pop Eye debut album.

"The Perfect Crime" was released on May 3rd 2010 from "Shift Music" in Greece & Cyprus. All tracks have been written by Iraklis Anastasiadis and Kostas Antoniadis except for "True Love" (composed by Iraklis Anastasiadis, Kostas Antoniadis and Lego Boy).
