Greek Pioneers: Indie
In April, SNFCC Music Escapades continue to explore the Greek music scene of the '90s. This time around, we will discover the musical paths of three of the most important alternative/indie-rock bands established at the time, which left their mark when the Greek rock-music scene was at its peak. The view of Athens from the Lighthouse and the Panoramic Steps will become the backdrop for the melancholy of Closer, the dynamism of Bokomolech and the charm of Xaxakes, tracing their steps from the early '90s until now
Closer will take us on a journey to the cherished soundscapes of their music, but will also introduce us to their latest adventures. Having started out in the ‘90s, they have since grown into one of the greatest outfits in the English-speaking Greek rock-music scene, with a busy live performance agenda. They have shared the stage with the likes of the Doves, Echo and the Bunnymen, Sonic Youth, Pulp, Garbage, PJ Harvey, Slowdive and Patti Smith. In 1996, their first album, Fly in the Milk, came out and in 1998 they released In the Market. Their signup with Chrysalis/EMI led to their first international release, Universe, which was followed by two more albums (Suddenly Comes, Closer) and the EP Mystery Falls Down.
