PETROS MALAMAS — PROFIL

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.
