created by Babi Q A few words about MENTA. They 're based in the capital of Greece, Athens. The name MENTA (which meansspearmint), was found in the end of 1999, when the three older members (Papadimitriou, Vlahas, Galanis) had done recording theband's debut. They sing in Greek and their lyrics are written by Papadimitriou whereas the music by Vlahas. They 've put out three albums until today. The first two, through a small but historical Athenian record label named Studio II. Theirdebut album, "Ston planiti tou Edmoundou" (At Edmund's planet), was released on December2000 and received enthusiastic reviews by the majority of Greek music magazines and newspapers. Three years later, by the end of2003, their second album "Se kainourgia banda" (In a new band) came out, in which Mentaexperimented with new diverse sounds. Their third album released in 2007, with the name "Instrumenta" , and includes 15 new songs. Coti K. not onlymixed all the albums, but he contributed with his ideas. The sound is a mix of alternative pop/rock with a touch of punk attitude. Through the years they 've performed to all major clubs of Athens, and also to a lot of venues in other Greek cities. They 'vesupported dEUS (Belgium), Cracker (USA), Think of one (Belgium) in their recent gigsin Capital with big success. They 've also played together with some of the most popular Greek bands, like Xilina Spathia,Oneiropagida, Magic De Spell and Film. |
