Last Friday and Saturday 17-18-02-2023 was the Vive Le Punk Rock ! Festival in Athens - 10 years Anniversary at
AN club 'official' and Gagarin 205 LIve Music Space.2 days with many great Punk bands.
I was at the second day at Gagarin 205 LIve Music Space were they played @ Killgrave @ The Antinormals @ Die In Vain @ Panx Romana @ GBH
The festival opened Killgrave and The Antinormals who managed to get the crowd dancing.
Die In Vain from Turkey came later on stage and got welcome by all the fans and friends with great enthusiasm.
Members of the band have played with their other bands 9 previous years of the festival and they have a big audience of fans.Their new project is a mixture of hardcore punk rock music with revolutionary lyrics.
At about 22.30 the greek punk band Panx Romana with over 40 years history in punk music came on stage and the club exploded .They played songs from all their music history and made the fans dancing singing and jumping in a crazy rhythm.The fantastic performance as always from the band kept us in fire for a little over an hour.
23.35 the time and GBH jumped on the stage with a quick salute from Colins and begun to play like a machine gun the first songs while people were jumping all around the place.A great set with their most iconic songs from their over 40 years history in music.As they told me before the gig in a short meeting we had they love to play here in Athens Greece they love the atmosphere,the fans,the food and the climate and they want to show it at the fans during the concert.They were playing with a demonic fast rhythm for over an hour and the fans didn't stop not a minute their dance.
When they finished and saluted us all noone believed that it was over.We hope they will be back soon for another great gig
The sound from the festival that night was fantastic and also the organization.Many thanks to Nasis and Aris ,George Mais all the friends who worked that night and the staff of Gagarin LIve Music Space for taking care of me
