NTEKA TZITZIFRIKIA LIVE AT STUΔΙΟ
NTEKA + Tzitzifriki[a] LIVE at StuΔio 2022
A report of past Saturday
Last Saturday we played a DIY gig with our dear friends Blom, Living Under Drones and Tote Kinder at our favorite sweaty basement Ypoga K94.
It was one of the most intense moments we have ever experienced, an emotion filled noisy mess. All the bands performed better than ever and the outcome was truly great.
Much love to everyone that was there and supported the show. Much more love to all of our friends that travelled from other cities, to join us. And at last all the love to all our friends that shared the stage with us and all of the Ypoga K94 crew.
Nights like these remind us how important is the existence of the underground DIY scene.
The feeling of setting something like these all of ourselves cannot be topped.
Keep the flame alive,

A gift
That's an egraving made by our lovely friend Xrysa last year while she was in Madrid.
Much much love.
Spit Yr Gum
This summer we recorded our very first album. Everything was done in STUΔIO with the assistance of our buddy Sotiris. Here's the full anouncement as it is stated in our bandcamp.
This album is the accumulation of two of the worst years of our lives. During these trying times of emotional and social turbulence NTEKA was our shelter, safe space and go-to coping mechanism to deal with all this struggle, sorrow and anger. This album is not only our defense but also an attack towards the new politics of control being shoved down our throats. A way not only to express our frustration but to reclaim our voices, our bodies, our lives, the way we want.
As we see it, the only way to accomplish this was by doing things ourselves and by building a network of like minded people outside of the commercial game, without bosses, payments, obligation and third parties' mediations. The band is a part of a self organized music studio (STUΔIO) in Athens and everything was done there from scratch. In this space we learned how to play our instruments, we jammed continuously, we laughed, we cried, we shouted collectively. In this space we became a band.
By expressing what we feel through our music and lyrics, we try to reconnect with our feeling, stop the massive numbness that is being forced upon us the last years and break the vicious circles of being trapped in situations that never seem to change or improve.
This is a call to spit yr gum, move forward, do what expresses yourself, feel free, love one another and stay in opposition with any form of establishment and any force of oppression and repression.

SOCIAL TRAUMA
PERSONAL DRAMA
A recording ended up on tape
A friend of ours, Ion C., the mind behind E.C.T., recorded this sloppy live we played with Blom & Αρχή Του Τέλους on a Tascam hand recorder. He then procedeed to convince us to release this on tape with this help, and we agreed.
This is not our best live technically, but it sure mirrors the state that we were a year ago. Some of the songs that later became our first album, didn't even existed and some of them are played differently. Anyway, the result was better than expected, exactly because is just a portrayal of our second live in front of other people. And we thank Ion for the initiative and all he did.
STUΔIO Farewell Show
A briefing of the situation in student dorms
In 2022, Ministry Of Education along with NTUA and other sectors decided to close the student dorms, in order to renovate them. That's something that is being told for almost a decade to people that live there. People who lived in a building without heat, without even water at some point and in general in bad conditions. And when these people demanded the accomplishment of their neccessities, everyone in charge closed the door at them. Now those in charge are using these problems, along with the crime rate that is blooming in the area, to renovate the dorms and throw away the people that live there without any measures for them. They are forced to go to rent, or their family houses (no one cares if these houses are in the city or even in Greece, as there's an amount of migrants living there) or they'll end up homeless, because as it is stated there's no place yet that is ready for them to resident after they leave the building. A pure act of hostile gentrification.
This building is also the home of STUΔIO. And like everyone who's left in the building (most of the residents have already left), we are packing up, so we can continue our journey as a collective somewhere else.
Therefore we had a farewell show in STUΔIO's reahearsal space with our dear friends Tzitzifrikia.
And it was intense.
