Ouzo The Band

  Ouzo the band is the Athens / London based electro pop alternative duo (+), of Kari Da Kiss (composition, voice, electronics, guitar) and Naria (voice). Historically, they go back to 1994 when they varied occasionally to a party of 6 to 8 musicians and they called themselves just Ouzo! plain! Reborn in 2001 after the split of their former band, Ouzo the band 'positioned' their Laptop as a 3rd member, and from then on, make powerful, sophisticated, surprising, alternative pop. Several other musicians join Ouzo the band from time to time, and accompany them on their live appearances.

  Their music is a true synthesis of elements, blending modern sampling and synthesizer work, with a fine sense of harmonies, outstanding rhythms,ultra cool guitars, extraordinary vocal skills and musical knowledge combined with ...a great sense of humor!

  Ouzo the band's sound is multiple and could be described as a mixture between 80's electronic, free Cabaret style and up to date alternative attitude.
Can other times be compared to the groups,The B52's,Eurithmics,The Scissor Sisters,Depeche Mode,The Voodoo Club,Blondie etc., or in their Chill out/Contemporary projects to the works of José Padilla,Dead Can Dance,Cafe Del Mar etc.
  They 've used their native language (Greek), in their Cds 'Romantic Empire' (2005) which was made up of their earlier compositions,'Ta ElectroLaika' (2008) where they took some old popular Greek songs and turned then up side down, and their latest 'Treloudio' project (2014) which is yet another project in Greek lyrics, that was very much inspired by the difficult years of the economical crisis in Greece. It is dedicated to the people that manage to make ends meet in this chaos in a manner of solidarity and compassion for one another! Their CDs 'Psychedelic Summer' (2004) and 'Psychedelic Autumn' (2011) are multi - instrumental, chill out CDs which have no lyrics. 'No Sirtaki Dance' (2006) is also an instrumental minimal dance CD that has, as the title implies, no relation to (the Greek rhythm and dance) Sirtaki!
Their 'homonymus' Ouzo the band (Double CD / 2004) is a mixture of all their styles of liking, and includes songs in English lyrics mostly (but also sometimes use lyrics in other languages like Spanish, Italian or French).
Their newest Ouzo the band 2 Album (2015) is the result of timetraveling through the 80's for about 10 years (your time!). All new and original compositions that can literally, take you back to another era (...so watch out for these wormholes!)

  Beginning their mission (to astonish the world), in 2004, Ouzo the band traveled trough many clubs in Greece, then via Italy to Luxembourg, Germany and Holland, ending up in the UK where they shook up their British audience! Their song 'TV Lovers' was a notable success in numerous radios around the world and the video clip of the song even made it (among other TV stations, such as NRK), to MTV Europe and Brazil.

  Apart from the music, which is the main element of their work, Ouzo the band expand their talent in other artistic areas as well.
They make their own video clips and have also made a few attempts to their first movie which will eventually form up in the near future. They designed, produced and hosted two different musical TV shows in Greece, and last but not least make Video Art projects many of which have been awarded and screened around the world (Platforma 04, BAC 05, Belle Arte 06, etc.).

  Ouzo the band record and release their music and art projects from their pro - home studio, then spread their tunes across the globe on the net and sum up, by touring the whole of Europe and beyond...
