Warren Ellis : Captured Ghosts 09.09.2011


Back in September we participated in this tribute to the great comic book artist Warren Ellis.
We made some new tunes for the occasion, including "Ignition" and "Texas Blonde", an instrumental.
It was a very interesting gig. A personal favourite.
Two sets of photos by two great photographers follow!

who are these guys ?

Microondas - manufacturing tunes since 2011


Microondas are a toy band based in the unsanitary environment of the Athenian downtown.

They were formed in 2011 when old childhood friends Betamin and Panagiotis met after a long time.

A TV set on the background was showing “The Long Goodbye”.They started listening to old, dusty tunes on a faulty tape deck and this is how it all started.


Vasia Bakogianni, initially made a guest appearance in the project, and fit in perfectly.
The band rehearses in a living room, with the neighbors’ tolerance, and band members alternate in their instruments and equipment.
This is why MicroondaS call their music idiom “chamber rock and roll music”.
The band loves weird tunes, and visits to local hardware stores (where they get their equipment)

freakout! in kypseli - full timetable

 - MicroondaS present :
FREAK OUT! In KYPSELI
Friday 21st & Saturday 22nd October
Οι MicroondaS, λίγους μήνες μετά τη δημιουργία τους, αποφάσισαν να πάνε ένα
διήμερο στη Δημοτική Αγορά Κυψέλης, προσκαλώντας τις μπάντες με τις οποίες
ήθελαν από καιρό να παίξουν μαζί.
Με αυτόν τον τρόπο στήθηκε ένα διήμερο γεμάτο παράξενους, ετερόκλητους ήχους.
Οι ήχοι αυτοί εκτείνονται από τον θορυβώδη πειραματισμό στις καθαρόαιμες garage
rock ‘n’ roll φόρμες. Αν και για να παραφράσουμε την γνωστή κινηματογραφική
αναφορά, μπορούμε να πούμε ότι εκεί όπου πηγαίνουμε δεν χρειαζόμαστε
ταμπέλες…
Έτσι άλλωστε συμβαίνει σε κάθε freakout που σέβεται τον εαυτό του!
Το πρόγραμμα του διημέρου δεν εξαντλείται στον ήχο, καθώς την Παρασκευή  21/10
η Χίλντα Παπαδημητρίου θα βρίσκεται στην Αγορά για να μιλήσουμε για βινύλια
και rock 'n' roll, με αφορμή το βιβλίο της "Για Μια Χούφτα Βινύλια".
To Σάββατο  22/10, ο Θωμάς Τσαλαπάτης, θα παρουσιάσει ένα ειδικό stand up! show
(για καθιστούς).
Οι μπάντες που θα πάρουν μέρος στο freakout! είναι:  MicroondaS, The Callas,
The Velvoids, Bruised Lee, Wham Jah, XYSM.
