A classic punk band which first
appeared in 1982 with the name "ANTIKOULTOURA", while in 1983 it was renamed
as "GENIA TOU HAOUS" (= Generation of Chaos). At first, they circulated
a tape in cooperation with the punk band "ADIEXODO" which had the title:
"H genia tou haous kai to adiexodo sas eyxontai Kalo Pasxa" ( production:
Art Nouveau)
The first synthesis of the band
was:
Dimitris Drakopoulos (voice)
,
Thodoris Hliakopoulos (drums
and voice) ,
Kostas Hatzopoulos (guitar)
,
Nikos Vosdogiannis (bass).
In 1984 they participated in
the collection "Diataraxi koinis isihias" (Enigma records) with two songs,
the "Epithanatios rogxos" and the classical "Bastardokratia". During that
period their synthesis included two new members, Aki Abrazi (bass) and
Gianni Venardi (drums). Venardis was also a member of the bands "Adiexodo"
and "Lefki simfonia".
In 1986 their first lp was released
with the title "Requiem", from "Dikaioma Diavasis Records". At that time
the members of the band were: Thodoris Hliakopoulos (drums,voice), Kostas
Hatzopoulos (guitar), Dimitris-Ozzy- Pappas (guitar) and Alexis Aliferis
(bass). During the same year the band played as a support band with
the Dutch band "EX".
It is worth to mention that
in 1997 a common republication of the two lps ("Genia tou Haous" and "Requiem")
was released from Wipe Out Records .
Insubordinate, exhausting, hot-headed
sound, a musical delirium of rebellion. Radical, upsetting, impetuous lyrics,
like storms of emotions. Subjects full of question marks for every form
of authority, power and hierarchy. Screams of despair for the hypocrisy,
the oppression, the corruption and everything that annihilates the human.
And what is the result of all
this?
A band that is being heard insatiably
and passionately. Always.
