NTEKA: 2023

A late comment

About a month ago we played on this gig and we hadn't said anything about it here, noone knows why.

This was an utterly beautiful moment and as we always keep saying every after every gig we play, it was fucking intense. It's not about the intensity of the music itself, but that of the whole atmosphere.

The musical course of this gig was totally paranoid. The turn the bands played was defined by draw so you can imagine there was no coherence and that was great.

There were a lot of people that came and supported the cause and in no time the place was crowded.

Solidarity is our only weapon and when things like this one take place, with terms like these, this weapon can be so powerful.

We don't need no scumbag promoter, no gig specialists, no sponsorships. We are eveything we have and we are there for our people.

Til the next one.

9/9/2023 @ Α' ΦΕΠΑ

Today, along with old and new friends and bands we're having this gig at University's Student Dorms, trying to support our friend and comrade financially with his medical expenses and psychologically in these trying times.

Most of the bands and the people surrounding the this gig come from other self organized studios, DIY music groups and squats suchs as Papoutsadiko Squat, Calamida, Ypoga K94, Stu2io, Geraniou's self organized studio and in general from the political DIY movement.

This is a way for to show our undivided solidarity to our friends, our comrades and everyone that is on our side in this social warfare.

Lineup:

9/9/2023 @ Α' ΦΕΠΑ 20:00 sharp.

See you tonight

ΤεραΤρόηρα

Past weekend ΤεραΤρόηρα happened and we were a part of it. As we said, we stepped on a bus along with 30 people and travelled to Karditsa, which was as an experience pretty unique.
It was raining heavily all evening and all night, so the gig took place inside. That turned out to be the best decision, because people were literally tangled with the bands. All bands played a sick set and all the people were great.

A huge thanks to Christos, for being a great person, for the invitation, the hospitality, the great sound and much more. Also thanks to Thanos and everyone from Karditsa's self organized space and everyone that came and supported this try. Last lots of kisses to the bands and the people that we played and travelled together.

To the next one.

ΤεραΤρόηρα DIY FEST

In about two weeks we're gonna step on a bus and head to Karditsa's self organized space for the yearly DIY fest ΤεραΤρόηρα, along with Hay Stealthy, Opium Curs, Ntaaks & Solar Anus.

These ventures are a sample of us organising our lives and our expression together, without anyone giving orders or making profit of it. This is beyond music and its consumption, it's our proposal of how and with what terms we want to live.

And we should make our proposals dangerous and uncomfortable again for all the settled.

Some words for the last two gigs

Thessaloniki's show was great and all three bands created a really intense atmosphere. Despite the gig starting around midnight or having less than 25 people we didn't really care.
Tzitzifrikia started playing and it was so loud and emotional, but at the same time joyful and the Comfort came and they demolished everything with their glitchy and dancy tunes.

Then Sunday came and it was time for the StuΔio funding gig. Unfortunately, Tote Kinder couldn't play because of some medical issues and we replaced them. As always it was a really beautiful scenery, seeing a university yard full of amps and woofers and people having a good time. As far away as we can from bodyguards, entrace fees, racial, gender or any discriminations.

So the gig started and we played and we had a great time. And then Les Βίαιες started playing and our heads just exploded. Loud, sometimes fast, sometimes mid-paced and full of anger feminist punk. One of the best bands and people that we played together for sure.
Comfort played last and it was pretty much the same with their previous one. Everyone was screaming and dancing and banging their heads along with them.

A weekend full of noise as we said, and we do hope so that these things will going to be happening frequently. Because that stuff can give you a purpose in these shitty times.

Thessaloniki's gig will take place at Lula's Trashyard at 22:00.

Athens' one will take place at Panteio University at 19:00.

StuΔio Mixtape Vol I Release Show

At April 8th we put up a DIY gig with all of the StuΔio team at Agricultural University in Athens, for our financial support.

It was a night dedicated to prove there's no musical boundaries when it comes to companioship in the DIY culture. A night full of rap, noisy synths, angular guitars, screams, singing and jamming.

Much love to all that contributed, Ypoga K94 crew, Powerap Girlz and all the people that helped us carry all of our equipment back!

STUΔIO MIXTAPE VOL. I

This is the first collective release of StuΔio. By listening to it, you'll get to experience a range of music that was captured through a series of jam sessions, live performances, and recordings made by individuals and bands that participate in the group.

We wanted this collection to reflect the diversity that characterizes us in terms of genres and styles, so we did not prioritize strict musical coherence. Our involvement in music is based on relationships, and how we build them. We don't want to settle for a framework where each band or individual makes music in isolation, but to create a space of free and equal participation and growth, both musical and political.

So, in May 2020, we created StuΔio as a self-organized music group and we appropriated the space of the old Polytechnic School student dorms, against the general condition of confinement and isolation that prevailed. After two years of our presence in the dorms, we found ourselves facing a housing problem due to the imminent renovation of the building.

Although the release of this CD satisfies our perennial desire to share our music, one of the reasons we chose to release it at this time is our effort to financially support the group to cover housing expenses.

Last Sunday's gig

Past Sunday we played a gig at Prapopoulou Squat, one of the most beautiful self-organized spaces in this town. Everyone started gathering at around 19:00 o'clock and everything was over until 22:00, really weird thing for a gig in Athens (which usually starts at around 22:00).
A big bravo to Pull The Plug Collective for all the things they've done so far as a newly established group and a huge applause for bringing in the Sunday afternoon gigs as a thing!

A huge thanks to everyone from the squat that was there and of course the great and noisy Chronoboros and Mavro Gala.
Both of them played a great set and it really an honor sharing this experience with them.

See you in the next one,
NTEKA
