Phase Updates January 2012

A new sun has risen and from the very first few moments is proved really favourable to us... A music video to “Hypoxia” is being prepared, “the Wait” album is being recorded and “Wake Up Call” out of it will break surface really soon... But lets dive deeper into some things we've been doing lately...


Phase Secret Talks


We will soon bring to light, a small jam session/rehearsal with our good friends Thanos Kandylas and Maria Athanasiadou or The G Sus Saves String Duet or G String Duet for short (cheap, ineffective, sex driven, word play humour) that turned out to be something really amazing, since our friends,nay, brothers, Labros Vasilos and Aris Liapis were attending... Another member of our family, Stergios Kokoltsis lend an amazingly useful hand in taming the audio waves, which was a total mess, because we put the condenser mic in a random position since we were missing the adaptor to plug the headphones to the sound-card (Bill and Labros were stuck in traffic for about an hour to buy a wrong adaptor and that's only the tiniest example to show why COMMUNIcation is the corner stone of a COMM-UNIty... We are working everyday to that direction and we are well aware that relationships have a life on their own, and need to be taken cared of, every day) and I couldn't hear what I was singing BUT it turned out to be something really unique, sincere and thus, BEAUTIFUL...We got used to the series of unfortunate events that are constantly happening to us anyway (You can't imagine what happened with the “Hypoxia” shootings with us and our crew of two)... But still, we can just easily admit that we are completely unorganized (missing planning is making our lives far more interesting at times, from the moment we have acquired a partial insensitivity to angst, and despair won't flirt with us... Totally Rock aren't we? The truth is we greatly admire people who have an order in their thoughts and lives and we are so getting there...) and stop making jokes about our fate because we happen to be really blessed with wonderful interpersonal relationships with the beautiful people that surround us and we turn out to be as really ungrateful by doing so...


Another truth is that what transforms a five line message like “hello we are recording this thing and it's about to be out by approximately next week” to a philosophical essay with poetic touches is that some people who think they need guidance, and also think they need the magic, and that fantasy is necessary to support reality and our plan since the beginning was to built a road using reference marks from common escapism symbols printed to the selective subconscious to help someone escape TO reality not FROM reality... All this and more... Are described beautifully and thoroughly on the “Next Conclusion to FadeClearing out the Statics” Free E-book that's being created, a bit slowly but steadily, on the little time that's left during the day...



Other projects that are left behind are reviewed and shorted out and we are getting back to them as soon as possible... Everything is being shorted out actually, like we are deciding where to take Phase consciously and which means should be used and how...



Some more news are that we all did catch a terrible, disgusting and irritating cold (I won't proceed into details...), water and tea with honey seem to make the rocking world go round lately... Back to music; we are planing some acoustic evenings while Philip Bourdenas one of the newest entries on the Phase family (at least formally because we are into this a year now...) is planning some more stops on our trip. Also here is the place where we can say a big hello to Nick Kalogirou our new online helper...


Any way, we hope you enjoy experiencing Phase... And if it's not that pleasant or you find it time consuming or harmful for you, you can just press stop on the CD player, X on the browser controls, switch channel and so forth and so on (like you should do with EVERYTHING!!!

Phase Updates July 2011

So there was a big interval again from the last update… The haunting that’s upon us made its presence clear and strange new phases have found us once more.

Alex has entered a new phase in his life cycle where he is called to fulfill his military service, a challenge keeping him away from us temporarily while we replaced his musical genius with two others’; of Bill Liapis and Damos Harharidis who are already our friends for years… A fair trade…

Some series of unfortunate events led us to the cancellation of some nights while on some cases we resorted to some beautiful acoustic evenings on dark hillsides…

The new shape of Phase will debut in a charity festival (July 22nd) in our base’s neighboring Elassona (Forestival) as we are in discussions for several other dates. Some interviews are planned and by the time Backstage Records will release “In Consequence” in plastic the second album will be in the phase of production…

Furthermore some side special acoustic evenings is being planned w/ lesser budget so the music reaches in further places under this concurrence of unfortunate events we are running. Dates of the summer UK Tour will be announced as well as of festivals Phase is going to be part of.

Phase Updates December 2010

Larissa, December 21st, 2010



The smallest day for the Northern hemisphere’s observers is The Biggest day for Phase To-day, since we’ve consequentially, abiding by the promise, transfused the fruit of our earnest efforts to the most known digital music retailers.

Although we came to face a totally unexplored for us universe, having all those tiny details we’ve been ignoring… Waiting for “In Consequence” catalogue number and unique ISRC codes for our songs we’re asking you to hold a bit more your breath and be patient as we are for the actual release of the album in 12” Vinyl, CD and Digital Download.


In Consequence” is already been given to important journalists of the music press and Radio DJ’s across our universe and we are sweating out the first impressions to return to us. Furthermore our fellow citizens here in Larissa GR will be able to get a first glimpse on “In Consequence” by passing by the wonderful party Stage Club’s owners have prepared for planed December the 27th and to that day song will be flying around between the scheduled events. And for the rest of our friend’s we’ve uploaded “Hypoxia” (its actual form) and “Ibidem” [ft. Duncan Patterson (Anathema, Antimatter) w/ an amazing key-work]. Go ahead and check the band's MySpace and other sites here and there.


Our JOB is done here for now… Our offspring died yesterday along with our agony, leaving behind a beautiful monument; a photo album of their first short existence, whilst their souls are hovering over venues, desperate to body forth once again (If you’re getting the poetry I may dare not realize you won’t find this parallelism macabre at all)…


See you on the road
