Purple Overdose (Greek underground neo-acid rock group) on YT - WTF?!

[Scrotum Scissor]

I've always really liked this band, who stemmed from the original "neo-psychedelic" wave of the late 80s and developed into one of the most interesting European takes on the form during the 90s, particularly with the albums Solemn Visions ('96) and Reborn ('99), the latter from which the following song was culled.

But 147,000 views (check the original YT page for this) - for what's essentially an obscure Greek small-niche underground club act? That's nothing short of amazing! Was this song featured in a movie or something, or is this band way bigger than I thought?

Anyone? Spyros?



BTW, here's a better track altogether - albeit with some 3200 views :

They had a very big local following -unusual for underground local bands- that (unfortunately for them) was not reflected in their album sales. It exploded some years after the release of "Reborn".

Great band. I have a few of their releases... and yes, I ran into them on YT.

The late Michael Piper turned me on to this band. I have all their releases.

Great band - Nick from Anazitisi Records has some relationship with these guys and their archives, so it wouldn't surprise me uf more pops up. If you're interested, ping him at www.anazitisirecords.com

He's really good folk and loves to engage in the Greek psych/prog music scene.

Really a good band, pity there's no CD's of them in stock.
