"Koumpotripes A.E." were 6 restless teenage school friends who
were drawn to a  broad range of rock
music. Their real passion however, focussed on the music of Joy Division,
Public Image Limited, Virgin Prunes, Tuxed
οmoon, Bauhaus and many of the seminal bands and artists of the Dark /
New Wave genre. It was quite difficult to define the music "Koumpotripes
A.E." played. It was more than obvious that in their earliest incarnation,
punk had a great impact on their music, but in their case, their style was
unique and went beyond the usual forms of the punk genre.


In 1979, the so-called Indie/Alternative scene hadn't yet emerged in
Greece. There were only 2 bands that existed and represented this "new
movement", "Pneumonokoniasis" and "Parthenogenesis",
but they were soon followed by George Vanakos with his band
"Simpligades", "Magic De Spell" and the first batch of punk
bands of that era.


April 20th, 1979 at Nikos Barbounis' house at 11 Spetson street  in Hatzikiriakio, a working class
neighbourhood of the port of Athens, Piraeus, "Koumpotripes A.E."
were formed through the initiative of the - now - established and well-known
composer Mihalis Koumbios.


The original members of the band were school friends from the Second
Grade, Mihalis Koumbios, Nikos Zilakos, Nikos Moshos, Nikos Barbounis and the
younger Nikos Houlis and Tasos Koumbios - Mihalis's younger brother. The band's
name was proposed by Nikos Moshos.


A few days later, they bought their first cheap instruments and started
rehearsing, usually on weekends and occasionally even mid-week in the basement
of Nikos Zilakos' house at 26 Ikonomou str. in Piraeus.


And that's how "Koumpotripes A.E."  story began.


More information about this legendary band can be found in the 24-page
booklet of the edition.
