Filippos Pliatsikas in Kavala

The main composer,lyricist and lead singer of the group PYX LAX,the most successful group ever in Greece. After the band split in 2004,he released a personal album titled "Ti den emathe o theos"(What god didnt learn) in 2005 which reached gold sales. His discography begins in 1990 and has 12 platinum and 3 gold records to his credit. This success is reflected also to his concerts both in greece and abroad(Uk,Germany,Usa,Canada).His music is a mixture of rock and traditional greek music,but very often he includes classical forms to his songs. His lyrics with a clear poetic dispotition are sometimes inspired by love and other times have a strong social character that reflects various places of our planet. He has teamed up to his albums or his concerts with many artists,among REM,Gordon Gano,Eric Burdon,Sting,I Murvini,Loop Guru,Mark Almond,Steve Wynn and others. This album is a mixture of some of his older songs,famous in Greece(performed live by a rock band and a symphonic orchestra)and of new songs whose lyrics are in Greek or in English. The sound is more contemporary than ever.
