 Kormόs
Tasos Kofodimos & Yvonne Melissa

“Kormos” is the new album by Tasos Kofodimos and Yvonne Melissa, in collaboration with Mahyar Tahmasbi and Laia Escartin.

The work consists of eight orchestral pieces, written for a unique, specially designed chamber music ensemble made up of four string instruments: violin, viola, cello, and the Greek “steriano” lute.
Each piece is inspired by a different tree—its mythology, geomorphology, distinctive characteristics, and the myths and folk beliefs associated with it.
The title “Kormos” (“Κορμός” in Greek, meaning tree trunk) draws inspiration both from the conceptual theme of the project and from the natural materials of the stringed, wooden instruments.

The four musicians come from diverse musical and cultural backgrounds, creating a unique musical mosaic:
Tasos Kofodimos and Yvonne Melissa are two active musicians and creators of the contemporary Greek music scene, having released their first duo album “Myrrha” in 2023 and performed extensively in Greece and abroad.
In this project, they collaborate with Laia Escartin, a Catalan violist, singer, and composer, and Mahyar Tahmasbi, a renowned Iranian cellist and sitar player specializing in Persian classical music.

The musical outcome can be described as world music, blending influences from Greek traditional music, the broader Eastern Mediterranean, Persian music, gypsy jazz, and the classical structure of a string quartet.

P.I.E.B. x Viktoras – “DETROIT” ⸱ Official Album Presentation (Concept Live Album Presentation)

The multifaceted P.I.E.B. of The Bad Poetry Social Club, in collaboration with the subversive Viktora in composition and production, gave us one of the most special albums of recent years.

P.I.E.B.’s spoken word poetry and interpretation, full of nostalgia, anger and tenderness, dissolves and recombines within the raw energy, the beats that pound hard and the guitars that scratch persistently.

The musical journey for “DETROIT” is full of dynamism, atmosphere and personality, it goes through synth/darkwave, electropunk and drum ‘n’ bass and takes you to PLYFA, on November 21st for a Full Live Experience with their guests

The Bad Poetry Social Club, Pan Pan, TURBOFLOW3000, Kalliopi Mitropoulou, VASSILINA, Libys, a cigarette at the bars,

There and then, P.I.E.B. having Viktora as company and, on stage with them, Nikiforos Nugent (Kepler is free) on Keys and Sativa (Logos Timis) on Decks, will present us with his self-titled album that has already stood out to the audience, proving that the new generation of the Greek scene has a lot to say – and it must be heard loudly!

To make us shout:

WHAT!

A NIGHT!

IT IS!

All this in a conceptual evening that will be reminiscent of an Athens that tried to survive and perhaps ultimately failed, through a one-hour performance, just before the Live, which will set the entire atmosphere of the experience, in a scenography by The Krank and Olympia Theodoridou.

Lullaby Άθενζ
(a fest for the fresh)

Lullaby Άθενζ makes its debut on the Athenian stage. The festival aspires to showcase the new wave of the vibrant, creative, and restless independent Athenian scene. It is built through the participation and ideas of the acts involved, offering emerging artists the opportunity to present their music with the best possible sound and visual production. We’re delighted to kick off this initiative with three remarkable and distinctive new artists: Rosadenia, Challice, and Plasteline.

We invite everyone to join us for the opening night of a festival that aims to become a lasting institution.

CHALLICE

CHALLICE was born in Athens but came of age and lived for several years in London. She writes and composes her own music with a genre-bending approach. Her lyrics explore deeply personal and real themes—love, sexuality, gender stereotypes, and socio-political concerns—woven together with unusual harmonies, distortions, delays, and eerie melodies that merge elements of Electronic and Dream Pop, creating a darker style she calls Nightmare Pop. Her debut album, Custom Made Prisons, was released in October 2022, and since then she has released three more works.

PLASTELÍNE

Plastelíne creates Greek art-pop, transforming her—not-so-personal—dramas into existential songs. Dreamy melodies dressed in harsh electronic elements, light beats meeting sharp, biting lyrics, craft a space where fairy tales collide with reality. Her performances are always unpredictable, as stage anxiety often drives her into confessional moments that linger for months after each live show. Her name, Plastelíne, is inspired by neuroplasticity—the mysterious ability of the brain to reshape itself. In the same way, her music is flexible, multidimensional, and constantly evolving.

KIOURIAMARIA
MELPO

The idea for the project was born from a love for melancholic and moving songs, the kind that make you feel embraced by emotions, ranging from deep sentiment to tears. We wanted to create something that could transmit this sense of profound emotion and share this experience with others. As the idea evolved, the thought of a melancholic persona emerged, one that would interpret these songs—a figure that embodies loneliness and sorrow, but also the power of music to transform the darkest feelings into art.

We then wished to connect the songs with a deeper social and political dimension, by writing the stories of women who experience disappointment, the power of music, and rebirth through the challenges of patriarchy.

The first performance follows the story of Melpo, a woman living a life full of emotional intensity, passion for food and culture, but also facing the challenges stemming from her relationships, loneliness, and the conflicts with the social and political framework of her time. The songs of the performance highlight these conflicts, expressing the emotional dimension of her life—from love and grief to rebirth and self-acceptance.

Duration: 75 minutes

Petros Malamas – Profil
Guest Appearance: Diamantis Diamantidis

On Saturday, June 28th, Petros Malamas and Profil invite us to a unique summer live show. With a common denominator of powerful and melodic riffs, penetrating lyrics, and shared influences from the Greek and international music scenes of the ’90s, 2000s, and 2010s, Petros Malamas and Profil promise us a rousing evening full of music and poetry.

Joining them for a guest appearance is the outstanding Diamantis Diamantidis.

Petros Malamas:
Petros Malamas presents songs-slash-instructions from his personal discography, theatrical pieces, Canadian tunes, and other favorites—his own and others’—but never mismatched, always with meaning and the aim to move and cultivate the soul of the music-loving audience.

With him:

• Kostas Nikolopoulos on guitar

• Vasilis Panagiotopoulos on keyboards and trombone

• Nikos Papaioannou on bass

• Thanos Kazantzis on drums

• Orestis Patsinakidis on sound engineering

A band-ish thing—nostalgic and futuristic. Come, definitely.

Profil:
Profil was formed back in 2000 by a group of school friends. They have a notable record of live performances in well-known venues in Athens and the provinces, such as: An Club, Kyttaro, Stavros tou Notou, Six Dogs, Temple, Ilion +, Underathens, and more.

Whether as a cover band or presenting their own songs, Profil has built a small but dynamic following. The group has also performed as a supporting act for well-known bands and artists from the Greek music scene, including: Ypogeia Revmata, Endelecheia, Magic de Spell, and Dimitris Mitsotakis. They’ve also collaborated with names and bands from the new Greek independent scene, such as: Vasilis Rallis, MC Yinka, Spyros Grammenos, Tsimento, Salto Mortale, Gourounia sto Diastima, Rockamora, etc.

Their discography includes two demo EPs (2008 and 2010), one promo LP (Good Morning Lucky Man – 2007), and their first full-length album Invisible Children, released in May 2015—distributed exclusively by hand and at their concerts.

Their music falls into the Greek-language independent rock genre, but their main influences stem from international guitar-based scenes and bands such as: Joy Division, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Stooges, Pearl Jam, The Sound, Radiohead, etc. They’re also influenced by Greek artists like: Trypes, Xylina Spathia, Diafana Krina, Endelecheia, Ypogeia Revmata, and others.

Currently, the band is preparing to release their second album (they’ve already released 5 singles via their website and YouTube channel) and are performing at venues in Athens and around Greece.

Guest Appearance: Diamantis Diamantidis – “44”
As we find ourselves already in mid-2025 and the folk rock orchestra Mitera Falaina Tyfli remains on extended hiatus, the mastermind and founding member Diamantis Diamantidis released his first solo album “44” in March, in the form of a comic book/CD (Nisos Editions / Plankton Music Productions, 2025, illustrated by Angeliki Salamaliki).

On the occasion of this release, he appears live with members of “Band 44”, along with good friends and collaborators, performing some of his new songs as well as selected covers from the Greek and international repertoire.

Doors open at 21:00.

DIMITRIS SAMOLIS LIVE

Actor and songwriter Dimitris Samolis takes the stage at Plyfa with his band and invites us to welcome summer with a unique celebration bathed in the light of music.

The show features ballads about “normal” love stories, unexpected cover songs, fortune cookies and kourkoubinia (a sweet Greek treat) are shared, firecrackers go off, old game consoles come down from the attic, and the audience makes requests for macho tsiftetelia (a type of Eastern Mediterranean dance music).

Joining him on stage:

• Keyboards: Giorgos Kourelis

• Drums: Dimitris Bosinakis

• Bass: Antonis Tsiapalis

• Guitar: Dimitris Mentogiannis

RADIOSOL & BABUSKA LIVE

The two Athenian bands finally share the stage!

The reborn Radiosol (with their new album Mestiza in their backpacks) and the ever-active Babuska (who have also just released their debut album) invite you to an explosive live party with a soundtrack of reggae, ska, balkan, and afro beats.

RADIOSOL
With a new album under their belt, Radiosol are ready to enchant and take us on a journey! They set up the generator, plug into the amps, and kick off a non-stop live party—whether in the streets of Metaxourgeio, on Lycabettus Hill, or a beach with friends. It’s a feeling that knows no passport, no borders—just music. Lots of music. And it flows spontaneously through their songs.

It’s an act in the philosophical sense—an expression of need, communication, and the freedom of the “here and now.” They don’t claim that music solves problems, but they do believe it stirs things up.

BABUSKA
Babuska, a seven-member band with a strong brass presence and electrified sounds, are ready for another blowout of reggae/afro/balkan/ska vibes—and of course, lots of dancing.

With their newly released debut album, they arrive for a springtime live show, always in an upbeat mood. Expect Afro-Eastern percussion layered over electric bass lines, vintage groovy drumming, psychedelic guitar textures, and a horn section that sets the stage on fire!

Lineup:
Oleg Dergachiov – Electric Guitar, Vocals
Heraklis Tsopelakis – Percussion
Vangelis Kritikos – Drums
Spyros Mastoras – Electric Bass
Panagiotis Koukoutas – Baritone Sax, Vocals
Michalis Kampourogiannis – Alto Sax, Vocals
