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.

1000mods

1000mods are a down tuned psychedelic desert stoner rock band from Hiliomodi, Greece. ''They play desert rock and play it well''(Matthew Tranker (StonerRock.com)

1000mods have supported desert rock legends from Brant Bjork, iconic Athens stoner band, Nightstalker, Radio Moscow, Colour Haze and My Sleeping Karma.

Their commitment to vintage equipment, thick and heavy analog sound and their remarkably passionate on stage performance is what sets them apart.

'Some of the best down tuned psychedelic desert stoner rock you'll hear without listening to Kyuss'(heavyplanet.net)

Their self financed 2007 first EP "Blank Reality" was described as Fu-Manchu at three-quarter speed and was a favourite with Acrimony, Slo-Burn and Kyuss fans. Huge, doomy, bluesy and nasty all wrapped up in a thick and professional production.

1000Mods are back burning up the scene with brand new 7” EP “Liquid Sleep,” available on coloured (light green) vinyl by SuiSound.
