Alexandros Perros and the Lone Stars have existed since 1987, their current line-up is Alexandros

Perros guitar voice Kostas Hasiotis bass Christos Koutsouris drums. They have 10 albums. After feverish rehearsals, ready to present their special show to which they have been accustomed for years. A historical band, with a presence in the field and a long discography, from the distant 1987 until today!
Greece's biggest rock and roll band back on the streets. In their career they have participated as support in many concerts, opening for big names such as: Godfathers, Dr Feelgood, Stranglers Chumbawamba, Robert Gordon and Chris Spedding, Crazy Cavan.
                                                                                  

Rockabilly from Thessaloniki, brigantine, perfecto, combed wool, alcohol and always ready to party and dance. Alexandros Perros with the Lone Stars from 1988 until today take us musically to another

musical era that they have experienced. Alexandros, for those who remember the daily lunchtime music show Jammin of ERT3, for a long time he maintained the column presenting the new record releases and is the owner of the Flip Side bar in Thessaloniki, which you will find at Proxenou Koromilas 11. Another memory of mine and musically the my first acquaintance with domestic rock n roll, rockabilly, garage rock n roll was the amazing music collection of POP and ROCK which consisted of 2 CDs with Greek rockabilly, psychobilly, rock n roll bands, from Greek gems that if you were not from some big city, you would probably never know them.
                                                                     

They have played in: France, Cyprus, Skopje with great success. They have done many live shows all

over Greece sponsored by Southern Comfort. They have also participated in many festivals such as River Party and Nestorio in Kastoria. The British Nervous Records released in two successive collections the tracks alcohol and stars are bright respectively. While the Swedish SunJay Records released alcohol.
                                                                               

And yet, the traveler of sounds and the aristocrat of the stage is more fashionable than ever, where

nostalgia meets its most modern version, that of the refined but rawly authentic, that of the successful elitist, that behind a new cd reveals the history of the secular life of Thessaloniki that brings us back to times of wild parties, stages burning with live and radio shows that made history with unsurpassed humor. But above all, they bring back an innocent era with so much soul and so much sincerity... this sincerity that is missing everywhere!

  2. Found some killer blackened DM Akouphenom from Greece.
    If you listen close you can hear elements of a triumphant never going to lose Discharge in a lot of that style of music.
    Rockabilly is the original punk rock.

  3. A word about Shocking Blue, which i'm almost done with. The best are their singles Pt.1. Here they don't play a smooth and commercially as on their lps. On the singles they are louder and more aggresives. Of the
    lps , the second is their best. And from than on it becomes more and more difficult. Shocking Blue are just not a really good band
    they are too commercial. But don't regret buying the box. For my "regeneration" i had to listen to my lovely band The Peanut Butter Conspiracy. There are bands that you shouldn't even compare with other. The comparion is unfair.
