Onirama

ONIRAMA is a Greek pop rock band that has had a number of hits in Greece. They are known for their wide range of music, and party-like concerts.
Onirama the Band were formed in 2000 by Thodoris (singer) and Dionysis (Bass) who met during their military service. Other founding members were the brothers Giorgos (Guitar) and Dimitris (drums) while several months later Kostas (violin, vocals, percussion, harmonica).
Their first performances took place at Mesogeios, a venue in Thessaloniki. Their initial band name was ‘Mixin Up The Medicine’ inspired by Bob Dylan’s song “Subterranean Homesick Blues”. The energy and passion they brought, and still do, in their live performances earned them the love and respect of Thessaloniki’s crowd, meanwhile pushing them to take their musical career more seriously. In October 2003 Christos (Keyboards, vocals) was added to the group as they began performing in bigger venues such as “MYLOS”, “SHARK”, “RODON CLUB” in Athens and various Summer Festivals. During that time the band changes their name to Onirama (short for “Our Dreams” in Greek). Their first gigs as Onirama at the “Malt & Jazz Club” in October of 2004 made them the talk of the town as the venue began drawing larger and larger crowds. Meanwhile the band have started writing their own songs and are seeking a recording deal.
In December 2005 their debut album titled “Diskolos Kairos Gia Prigkipes”(roughly translated “Tough Times For Princes”) is released via Lyra Records. The album consists of 10 songs, all providing their characteristic pop/rock sound. The album was later nominated for an “ARION AWARD” for Best Band (at the time the most prestigious award in Greece”).
In January 2006 participated in the modern musical “Fruitopia” of Evgenios Trivizas, directed by Constantinos Rigos, playing live music while continuing their performances in the city of Thessaloniki.
In January 2007, Constantinos Rigos directs Onirama’s first music video of the song “Mia mera tha’rtheis”, a cover version of Mike Rozakis original tune. On February 21st they play alongside multiplatinum selling Greek singer Antnonis Remos at a special secret concert organized by Greece’s number one Music TV Channel, MAD TV. After that they start playing in Athens at the Club Baraonda in front of a sell out crowd on a weekly basis. In the summer of 2007 Onirama embark on their first tour of Greece alongside Antonis Remos.
