Adapted from Greek Rebetika of the 1930’s, these songs of pick pockets, grifters, refugees and the marginal are never more relevant. The new album is available on Bandcamp.
The band will premiere their brand new album entitled ‘Down in Lemonaki’, on Thursday, October 1, at the Herodion, along with songs from the two "Covid-19" albums, which were recorded during the lockdown.
