My Wet Calvin, also known as Leon and
Aris, two 29-year-old Athenians,
is one of the most distinguished bands in Greece, as well as an
archetypical specimen of the local scene. One day they are
guitar-smashing Easter bunnies, breaking a guitar over the head of the
owner of the hippest underground club in town and the next they are idle
flower pots standing completely still, through the whole night.
Formed in 1991, Deus began its career as a cover band, but soon began writing its own material. Their musical influences range from folk and punk to jazz and prog rock. They first came to attention in Humo's Rock Rally of 1992 and after the release of the four-track EP "Zea", Deus was offered a recording contract with Island Records.

I was glad to have dEUS back in Greece again.. I had lost touch with all their work after the Ideal Crash album but last night was a good oportunity to catch up with them. They remain stunning as i knew they would be.

Sivert Høyem (born 22 January 1976) is a Norwegian singer, best known as the vocalist of the rock band Madrugada. After the band broke up due to the death of Robert Burås in 2007, he has enjoyed success as a solo artist and is also a member of The Volunteers with whom he released the album Exiles in 2006.
What more can you say about this guy.. Such a wonderful deep voice and brilliance in his creations way back from Madrugada until now, solo, for the last couple years..

I got a request from a colleague to photoshoot a live concert of Peter Hook, ex bassist of the legendary Joy division and New Order with his current band "the light", on behalf of a webzine (www.rockoverdose.gr). I gotta say i was a bit nervous in the beggining since it was my first time shooting a concert but excited at the same time to work as a designated photographer. Can't say anything more, you will judge the final outcome...
