How long have you been playing?
32 summers and winters have gone by since i came to this world.....i got into music playing in bands since i was 14.....for some reason i always wanted to play music i started "playing" guitar at the age of 10 but even before that music was always fascinating to me....
What was the first concert you ever went to?
i think it was 1989 Bryan Adams in Athens.....my sister took me to the show cause i was just a kid back then, if i had to choose it wouldn't be Bryan Adams....anyhow it was the first time i've ever been to a stadium gig and it was amazing....i remember that everything was so big!!!!!!!!
What gear do you use?
I have a Gibson SG 3, Epiphone lucile modified,Shecter Porl Thomson signature modified,Shecter Robert Smith signature,Fender telecaster Joe Strummer signature,Fender Telecaster 1968 original,Fender Jaguar blacktop,Taylor 310ce custom made, Epiphone thunderbird pro, hand made 4 string bass.....my favorites are the porl thomson and the 68 telecaster.......
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
Well there are a lot of influences over the years....but the first thing that comes in my mind when i hear this question is Robert Smith from The Cure, and The Cure as band.....There is something about the song writing and the production that makes me love this band....and it was also one of the first things i heard when i was a kid cause my sister was in to that scene at the time....
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
Many over the years....but to name the most important ...i started the whole thing forming a punk rock band named Psychosis later named Kapos Etsi at the age of 14 that lasted 4 years and after that i got into my psychedelic period where i played bass and later synths at a band called Rotating Underground Modulation (R.U.M) it lasted 6 years and then me and the bass player formed The Curf a stoner band, we released an album on Trailblazer records and we also moved to Brussels in order to have as much gigs as possible all over Europe...at some point the band fell apart due to serious problems between some band members....as i came back to Greece with material from Belgium, stuff that wasn't Curf style at all i started recording songs for my own pleasure, then i met Nancy a talented singer and while she was laying down some vocals we realized that it was very good and that it had to come to life....so...we formed The Burning Sticks , inviting dear friends and also talented musicians, Kostas Stamou on bass ,Dimitris Alexiou on drums , and George "the Goat" Stavroulakis on lead guitar.With the Goat i have played in all of the above besides the RUM band, he is a "Brother in Arms" in a way......So currently i play guitar on the Burning Sticks with my beloved Nancy(love her so) the Goat and George Karlis and Stamatis Stamatakis on Drums and Bass...the Band is active doing shows and also signed with Final Touch a sub label of Universal Greece..... more on the band on www.theburningsticks.com and on Facebook.....thats some of the stuff...the most important in way........also over the years am making electro tunes in a weird and abstract way, hope some day i will release them......
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
many people.....tough question.......
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
well if you count TV Audience many....probably a million or more...that was the TV days with the Burning Sticks a Show every Friday for 7 weeks...besides that the biggest was 2000 people on set for the Tv Show and in various festivals more or less the same crowd....the smallest is 10 to 15 people also in various places......memorable???? well there a few shows that were really good but not just one in particular....maybe in the future....
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
that is even tougher......i don't know ....i cant just pick one out of so many...........
