Greek Rock Scene Documentary – 1988

Chrysa  made a great discovery.
She found and uploaded on youtube this documentary made by the Greek national tv about the
Greek rock scene.
It gives a nice idea about the conditions back in those days.
It is in Greek ofcourse but if you don’t speak Greek, you will watch some of the bands of
that era.

Part 1

The guy shaving his face is the legendary “uncle” of the Greek rock scene, Dimitris Poulikakos
former member of the MG’s that released a string of albums since the late 60’s when he went solo.
He is still active today at his late 60’s….
According to the documentary by the late 80’s there was the 6th Greek rock generation
around…

Part 2

Poulikakos is attacking the major record labels from his toilet.
South of No North performing the song “Sha la la“.
Christos Daskalopoulos (can I call them radio dj ?) commenting also about the scene.

Creep Records is also mentioned as a good example of indie label.

Part 3

Daskalopoulos commenting on how hard it was for the Greek bands to work by themselves, with
no managers, no sound engineers or road crew.
Here we have Last Drive and Yell O Yell performing.

Part 4

Yeah! performing live at the end of part 4 and part 5 continues here with the band
Genia tou Chaous:

Part 5

Ofcourse, since 1988 things changed.
The Greek scene reached at a peak during the mid 90’s to fall apart by the early 00’s.
