Οι Psycada (Σαϊκάντα) πήραν το όνομα τους από μερικά ψυχεδελικά τζιτζίκια που κατάφεραν εισχωρήσουν σε κάποιες πρώιμες σπιτικές ηχογραφήσεις της μπάντας, το καλοκαίρι του 2021. Τείνουν να παίζουν νεοψυχεδελική ροκ, έβγαλαν τον πρώτο τους δίσκο τον περασμένο Ιούλιο και έχουν κάνει ένα λάιβ. Στο δεύτερό τους λάιβ θα παίξουν κάποια κομμάτια κι απ’τον επερχόμενο δίσκο τους ο οποίος ενδεχομένως να βγει μέσα στο 23.
Psycada got their name from a few psychedelic cicadas that found their way into some rough home-recordings of the band, during the summer months of 2021. They tend to play neopsycedelic rock, they released their first album this past July and they have performed live once. In their second performance they will also play some tracks from their upcoming album, which will probably be out in 2023.

Οι Mellow lizard ιδρύθηκαν το 2015 απο τον Θοδωρή στο Ηράκλειο Κρήτης, Ξεκίνησε ως solo project αλλά για την ανάγκη live εμφανίσεων δημιουργήθηκε μπάντα. Ο ήχος τους εστιάζει στην νεοψυχεδέλια με μίξη garage rock και shoegaze. Έχοντας κανει αρκετές εμφανίσεις κυρίως στην Κρήτη και κάποιες Αθήνα και Πάτρα.Μέχρι τώρα εχουν κυκλοφορήσει 6 albums τα οποία ηχογραφήθηκαν σε home studio χρησιμοποιώντας φθηνό εξοπλισμό δίνοντας ενα lo-fi vibe. Αυτή τη στιγμή ηχογραφούν το 7ο album σε στουντιο ως full band διατηρώντας το diy aesthetic.
Mellow Lizard was founded by Thodoris in 2015, it was more of a solo project when it all started and later on a group was formed for live performances. Their sound is focused mostly on neopsychedelia with mixes of garage rock and shoegaze. They've played many gigs around Greece, mostly in Crete with some live performances in Athens and Patra. Many members have changed since the beginning but now the group is in a more stable state. So far they self-released 6 albums that were recorded in a home studio using cheap equipment giving a lo-fi vibe. The band is currently recording the 7th album, first time as a full band in a studio keeping the diy aesthetic.

In 2013, during the early days of what we now know as 'Patari Records', cousins Jiomy and Dimi started jamming as a duo using a broken-up guitar with missing strings, a borrowed mic and whatever drum parts they could find laying around the place. During that period, with Dimi living in Glasgow, the cousins could only meet for less than a month at a time. Eventually, over the years, a few songs started to come out of those jams. Primo Bake is the result of those, once the project took more definite shape. In 2019, they wrote, recorded and released their debut album 'ZAP', all within a period of 3-4 months.
Since then, after spending another two years apart due to COVID, Primo Bake returned to the streets of Athens, and met Alex (Lame Beach). The connection was immediate, and not long after, Alex had joined the band on bass. They made their first (somewhat) live appearance as a three-piece in E01S01 of the Rooftop Jams live sessions series in spring of 2022. They have since been working on their next release 'H Yiayia Me Ta Yialia EP', which will come in 2023. This marks a turning point for the band as they delve deeper into the low-cost, DIY ethic in producing and recording. The first single off of their upcoming EP, 'H Yiayia Me Ta Yialia', came out late 2022.
Primo Bake's sound has been described as "a sumptuous blend of primitive rock n’ roll (ala Stooges) and contemporary garage rock, a sound that is best heard live with the fourth beer of the evening in hand", a description with which the band most definitely agree.
