The Return of Pop Eye!
Popeye wasn’t their favorite comic book hero! But Pop music has always been their passion, in 2005 Dimitris, Markos and Giannis decided to form their own pop band and look at pop music through their own “pop eye”!
Just a couple of years later and with no recorded album yet, they attracted Dimitris Papaspyropoulos’ (one of the most popular radio producers in Greece) attention and their song “If You…” was included in the best selling compilation “Silent Wonder” compiled by Dimitris Papaspyropoulos.
That was enough to create a buzz around their name and just a bit later their debut single “The Deepest Sea” was released by The Sound Of Everything with remixes by GAD and a french-style re-work by The Flying Silly Brothers. The single received massive support by the local indie radio stations.
Their debut album “Pop Eye” came out by Shift Records in 2008, containing one more hit single called “That’s Life”.
In the next few years the band gave a series of successful live performances in Greece (Athens Video Art Festival, Gagarin, Gyalino Upstage, An Club, Soul Stereo, Braff Club, Khpos/Syxnothtes, City Bar, European Music Day, BIOS, Art House, Partisan Bar, Stavros tou Notou).
Now they are preparing their second album. The first taste of it comes with the single “Night Falls”. True to their pop origin Pop Eye deliver a summer, cheerful song, likely to inspire warm feelings and smiles in the listener. Definitely Unknown is the B-side but nonetheless with equal radio potential.
