We The Few Jam

We gathered some time ago at the studio of the student's dorm rooms at the university, to record an acoustic track for our upcoming 12" split with Mass Culture. We used various acoustic instruments and the whole thing was more like a jam, since we weren't really prepared, yet still the outcome is more than satisfactory.

A couple of friends helped us out in this, so we'd like to thank Xipis (Djembe & Buzukaki) from local stoners Dala Sun and Skoteini (Ney) for jamming along with us. Also much appreciation to all the people that lent us their instruments, it's great that people and bands in this scene help and support one another. Last but not least, a big thanx to Alx who recorded us until the small hours before a work day, much respect!

We 're gonna use a poem by Giorgos Makris called We The Few as unspoken lyrics or something like that, hence the title... It's some of the most powerful writings we've read these last years.

Cheers to all!

 
p.s.: Solidarity to all the Squats and autonomous places that have been evacuated in these last months and all the people that fight through state prosecutions and fascist propaganda.

So, we had a great time at the gig at Villa Amalias a couple of weekends ago. Many thanks to all the guys that put the show together. Many thanks also to Time Trap and Unexpected Error. See you all next time..
 
We also played in Parartima squat recently here in Patras, in order to raise money for the legal expenses of 4 people arrested and wrongfully charged with felonies. More information here..

On other news we'll be cooling off, as one of us has to get over with his mandatory military service. Fuck! It's a great shame that we have this obligation around here, to serve in something that we don't believe in and spend 9 months of our lives doing complete bullshit..

In the meantime, we will get on with some recordings we have left unfinished in our very own slooooow way. Unfortunately Nataraya from Thesaloniki won't be our partners in crime for the 12-intch split we had in mind. As far as I know they 've disbanded or at least taken a long pause. 
 
On the other hand we'll probably go on and release it with Mass Culture from Athens, which is great news since not only they play great music, but we also share common ground on the way we approach our music, away from and against profiting, all kinds of middlemen and the damn music industry.
 
We hope to have it in our hands by late spring, but until we have something more solid to post, we 'll keep to our own...
Cheers!

5 Χρόνια Κατάληψη Προκάτ_35

Live για τα γενέθλια 5 χρόνων της κατάληψης Προκάτ_35, με μουσικές από τούπα τούπα σε καΐδια και από κει σε ρεμπέτικα. Τελευταίο κοντσέρτο για μας μέχρι να ξαναμπεί ο χειμώνας, λοιπόν, τη Παρασκευή 25 Μάη...Το νου σας!

"Μακρυά από τα κοινωνικά πρώτυπα ατομικισμού, εμπορευματοποίησης, ρατσισμού, σεξισμού και ιεραρχίας, προτάσουμε την ανάγκη μας για αυτοοργάνωνση και δημιουργικότητα."

Hangover Afterglow

So once again we're back where we started!

5000 km through 7 countries and 11 gigs later and many many xezes later, we 're back in Minaroupolis.
We met and hung out with a lot of great dudes and dudettes out there... Had some problems on the road, some gigs postponed, some cancelled.. But in total we had a great time!

There are countless people we owe a big fat thank you and you actually know who you are. From those that helped us set our gigs and lent us their equipment, to the unexpected help we found along the way from people we've just met. 
Salut!

Right now we're preparing for one last gig here at Prokat35 squat in Patras and we also plan to record some tracks for a 12" split with our friends from Salonika, Nataraya!
There's not much more to say, here are some pics from various places around the Eurobalkans! We'll post some more later on...
Live fast / play slow!
