Suave Gap

Suave Gap consists of Kostas Mastrogiannis(guitar,vocals),George "Batman" Dafopoulos (bass guitar) and Deaky (drums, backing vocals).Besides being members of the same band, Kostas, Giorgos and Dennis have been good friends for many years. This underlies the fact that
they are still together,after all this time.Suave Gap was formed in the 90s as a result of three young mens love for Punk Rock,a type of music widely
known on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean yet at the same time widely unfamiliar in their own country. The music of the Ramones as well as the
work of artists such as"Dookie" from Green Day (who in 1993 wrote the most representative as well as commercial pop punk album to this day),were
the inspiration for their formation. Soon they began writing their own music and making live appearances. In 1997 the band records its first demo.In 1998 Suave Gap sign their first contract with a newly established indie record
company.During the same year their first single"Second Thoughts" is released with the support of Rock FM. The band continues to appear live,however
the long expected recording of their album did not take place. Substantial differences between the band members and the record company on the
promotion of the bands music resulted in the end of their collaboration with the company in 1999. During 2000-2001, Suave Gap record a new demo
which includes 6 new songs. They seek a new home for their music, and at the same time continue to give live shows for the next 2 years.At the end
of 2003, a music producer suggests to the band that they give a song for the advertising spot of a widely known soft drink. Suave Gap accept the
challenge and "Want You Back" becomes the soundtrack of the ad. All the above takes place in 2004, the year of the Olympic Games in Athens. The cd
single is released by Pace Records/ Universal and the video is shown on TV.The mainstream audience begins to notice the band and Suave Gap
continue playing live, with peak performances the ones at Water Plaza, the park of the Olympic sponsors, for four days in front of hundreds of people.In 2005 they sign a contract with Plus (+) Rec/ Universal Music and start recording their new cd "Twenty-Four Seven".At this
time,
gappers are writing new stuff & trying to make their music better known & introducing
their work to audiences abroad.
