MAUSTETYTÖT

MAUSTETYTÖT

GAZARTE Ground Stage

FRIDAY 31 MAY 2024

 

Maustetytöt: an anti-pop band that writes great pop songs! The musical charm of contrasts…from Finland to Athens!

 

Maustetytöt: The two Finnish sisters, already “starring” in the music scene of their homeland, and not only! This winter they “dressed” with their performance the black comedy Fallen Leaves by arthouse veteran Aki Kaurismäki, and became talk of the town worldwide. In the film they sing one of their most successful songs, project themselves in a dark karaoke bar, like plastic dolls, with hardly any movement of their bodies and faces, and take us on a journey into their occult world. Will the end of this story be happy or not?

 

Maustetytöt with their unusual musical approach – unexpectedly simple stage presence, frozen faces, surrealistic pessimistic and laconic lyrics against a background of optimistic pop rhythms, deal with “difficult” topics such as drinking, violence, mental illness and war. Maustetytöt is definitely the other side of the coin of the happiest country in the world – and that seems to lead to an excellent recipe for success!

 

Maustetytöt themselves declare that they play electronic pop and their lyrics, which are imbued with black humour, often speak of the Finns’ almost innate sadness “Maybe pessimism is something that lives in most Finns”, says Anna. “It’s cold and dark up here, so being happy can be difficult.”

 

In May 2024 the band will embark on their first major European tour in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Primavera in Spain and of course, on May 31, they will perform at the Gazarte Ground Stage in Athens!

FRIDAY 29 MARCH 2023

GAZARTE GROUND STAGE

 

In the UNESCO lists, Pesaro, Italy is listed as a ‘Creative City of Music’, mainly because it is the birthplace of Gioacchino Rossini, composer of ‘The Barber of Seville’ and ‘William Tell’.

 

Secondarily, and just next to the famous operas, indie post punk is well represented by Soviet Soviet, who since 2008 have been grabbing every live opportunity that arises and building their reputation as one of the most energetic live acts on the European continent.

 

From 2013 onwards, their discography is regularly enriched with coldwave & artpunk touches, properly structured to work ideally in live show conditions. This is exactly their characteristic that the Greek public will have the opportunity to experience in their upcoming performance, on Friday, March 29 at Gazarte, for a unique appearance from a figure at the peak of its creative period.

A few words about BadBadNotGood

BadBadNotGood formed in 2010, moving between three and four members before forming their current lineup in 2015. The band, aka Alexander Sowinski (drums), Chester Hansen (bass) and Leland Whitty (guitar and woodwinds), met in the jazz program at Humber College in Toronto. At the time, instead of working with traditional jazz standards, they decided to bypass them and draw from hip hop and other contemporary genres to create a unique sound rooted in black American music. The 2021 album Talk Memory is their fifth official release and pays tribute to those musicians and songwriters who were the band’s primary influences.

THEODORE

THEODORE

SATURDAY 13 APRIL

GAZARTE GROUND STAGE

 

An explosive night with special guest 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞!

 

On Saturday, April 13th, Theodore, in his first Athenian live show for 2024, will appear at the new Gazarte Ground Stage for a unique club show in which he and his band will present brand new material as well as favorite tracks from his entire discography.

 

Coming off the recent release of his single ” Aquatic ” and heading into his next two singles coming in March and April, Theodore is ushering in a new era in his sound, embracing simplicity and creating more liberated than ever before. The music he delivers, a combination of his signature alternative and post rock sound with more “decontextualized” synth pop elements, is the most honest musical version of himself yet.

 

He loves to compose music that creates images, stories or fairy tales, capturing it live in energetic and mysterious concerts, with amazing light shows and visuals. With a lot of enthusiasm, cinematic mood and high energy, he is looking forward to share his new material for the first time in the unique space of Gazarte Ground Stage.

 

𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞

Eva’s introspective melodies, Panos’ atmospheric guitars and Pavlos’ soundscapes make up the alloy of 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞, the pop trio from Athens. Their first album “Vol.1”, released in May 2020 by Enter events, is an anthem to dystopian relationships and power games. Their sound is influenced by artists such as Portishead, Bjork, FKA Twigs, London Grammar, Alt-J with plenty of loops, soulful beats and dream pop atmosphere.
