WE'RE LOUD 2016: Ten Slovenly Days in Greece

A documentary on the second edition of the international festival We're Loud, organized by Slovenly Recordings. Filmed in September & October 2016, starting in Istanbul, and then during the 10 days of the festival in Thessaloniki, Lesbos, and Athens. Amidst political turmoil in Turkey, and Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II, the show had to go on, and all were invited. Slovenly founder Peter Menchetti's frivolous vision — which evolved into what Beat-Man Zeller calls a series of “stupid (great)” ideas — plays out in a challenging yet unforgettable Aegean odyssey.

Featuring interviews and/or live footage of: DEATH (US), THE SPITS (US), THE KIDS (BE), REVEREND BEAT-MAN (CH), DEMON'S CLAWS (CA), BAZOOKA (GR), SCRAPER (US), MAGNETIX (FR), THE RAWS (TR), GAY ANNIVERSARY (GR), THE DIRTIEST (IT), NOMOS 751 (GR), HAND & LEG (GR), FRANTIC FIVE (GR), FOTZEN POWER GERMANY (DE), THE BASEMENTS (GR), VOYAGER 8 (Mars), and HÄXXAN (IL)

Early Last Drive gig caught on tape circa 85

Rare Last Drive footage circa 85 saw the light of the day via merlins music box fanzine.

Yannis Beltekas - I Κnow Your Game (Unreleased Single Version)

Recorded in 1980 to be released as a single by CBS. Originally designed to become the first "Trash"(1st Greek punk band) single, however that was not meant to be as the band members refused to commit to long-term contracts. Therefore the song was recorded as a solo project. Former "Trash" guitarist George Giouzelis sat in, while Nikos Antipas (Socrates) played drums and I did the keyboards. Turned out my - then - managing team and CBS did not see eye to eye on things, so the song was re-recorded next year to be included in my first LP that was released by Warner.

The Athens Underground 1964-1983

On June 29, CAMP presents the opening of the first part of the major exhibition, “Underground in Athens -part one1964-1983. The goal here is to present the full scale of an important social event in Athens, during the 60s, 70s and early 80s. From the proto-beatnick tendencies of Pali magazine up to Punk nihilism and the gradual radicalization and call to violence, two decades later. from the countless publications of the 70s and 80s that circulated around Exarheia square to psychedelic and underground tendencies found among mainstream (or not so mainstream) art galleries at the time. From hallucinatory and transgressive film experiments to interchanges between music and the visual arts. This exhibition is going to present the overall social, cultural and political climate of that era -shockingly similar to ours. For that purpose historical overview is being expanded by a dialogue with a new art scene which, in many ways, can be interpreted as a “new underground”.

The second part of the exhibition titled “Underground in Athens -part two 1984-2012 explores artistic cases from these equally turbulent years. During the 3-month duration of this 2-part exhibition a series of parallel events such as talk shows, discussions, projections and music concerts will take place at the CAMP. A major edition will be published at the occasion of the exhibition and be presented at both the opening and a separate event.
