Theodore + Soma

ATHENS LANDS AT LA MÉCA ON 20 NOVEMBER.

Sanit Mils presents:

THEODORE (Alternative Post-Rock - Greece)

Author, composer and multi-instrumentalist, THEODORE makes alternative rock a shifting material, shaped by electronics, post-punk and a songwriting that is often existential. Pieces designed to take on a different scale on stage, where his work relies as much on tension as on immersion. After several European tours and two visits to the United States, his live set at SXSW caught the attention of Bob Boilen, who invited him in 2019 for an NPR Tiny Desk session. Reeperbahn, Eurosonic, Primavera Pro and Europavox followed, along with dates alongside Sigur Rós, Amber Run and DIIV. At the end of 2025, Theodore released FIRE and then took it out on the European roads.

SOMA (Psychedelic Grunge-Punk - Greece)

SOMA is the new band of Xanthos Papanikolaou, former frontman of Bazooka. With Thanos Frantzis (Tiffany), Timos Harden (Silhouette) and Orfeas Daramaras (XVIV), he returns to what Greek rock does most instinctively: guitars that spill over, a rhythm section that constantly pushes forward and sung-in-Greek melodies that stay in your head. Their debut album Sti Chora Tou Fotos (In the Land of Light) came out in April 2026 on Magma Records, the label of George Karanikolas of The Last Drive. It reveals the band's taste for the psychedelic rock of the sixties, but also everything Athens has absorbed since then from post-punk and grunge.
