Greek Rock to take over Sydney with rousing concert

·

The realm of Greek Rock is set to take centre stage in Sydney as IHO NYX prepares to thrill with a lively concert honouring one of the more underappreciated genres of Hellenic music.

Presented by the Greek Festival of Sydney, the Greek Rock Tribute concert by IHO NYX will delight Sydney audiences at The Factory Theatre in Marrickville this coming Sunday, 6 April at 6.30pm.

The event will feature hours of entertainment provided by the band, accompanied by Carly Yelayiotis, wherein they will cover a wide range of songs within the Greek Rock genre.

Andonis Petrandonakis, speaking on behalf of IHO NYX, explained the concert represents a more experimental take on the band’s normal formula of doing tribute shows in honour of specific singers, composers or bands.

“We always try to do something innovative, something that hasn’t happened before, so we chose this time to cover a genre instead of a particular artist,” Mr Petrandonakis told Community Horizons.

He elaborated that the selection of music will cover songs from as far back as the 1970s to present day, including from bands like Trypes, Xylina Spathia, Ypogeia Revmata, Pyx Lax and artists like Papakonstantinou, Sidiropoulos, Yiokarinis and Tzimis Panousis.

“It is a very broad style of music. Two one-hour sets can only cover so much… We have tried to choose songs that most people will know and love,” Mr Petrandonakis said.

The Greek Australian artist highlighted the significance of the Festival’s support in their experimental endeavour.

“It is very pleasing, and it is very encouraging that they do have a broad view on the different styles proposed by artists and bands like us,” he said.

“They have always been quite welcoming with our proposals and very supportive of us from our inception as a band many years ago.”

Mr Petrandonakis stressed that the band is more than ready to put on a fantastic concert of songs that will not delve into any extremes associated with rock music, making the show accessible to all.

“People should expect to see a very well-prepared and rehearsed show with quite a large group of very talented artists,” he said.

“It will be an evening filled with some very familiar songs and for the ones that people may not be so familiar with, I am sure we have chosen ones they will be impressed with and can sing along with as well.”

Limited tickets are still available for this one-of-a-kind tribute to an underrated genre of Greek music.
