In Athens and Thessaloniki in April

The leading singer of modern Rock'n'Roll, Μark Lanegan, will be located in Athens, along with his band, on Thursday 5 April (Fuzz Live Music Club) for a unique evening full of the magic of a rare and wonderful voice, melancholic and sometimes dark, his music. One day earlier, on Wednesday 4 April, will perform at the Principal Club Theater, in Thessaloniki.

Voice of the legendary Screaming Trees – perhaps the best and, with no doubt, now overlooked band that sprung from the whole grunge stream – Mark Lanegan is, here and 25 (and put) years, one of the most iconic and charming figures of the underground scene.

Gifted with a unique voice – heavy, imposing and, at the same time, soulful and melancholic – he has released some sensational albums during his solo career («The Winding Sheet»/ 1990, «Whiskey For The Holy Ghost» / 1994, «Scraps At Midnight» / 1998, «I’ll Take Care Of You» / 1999, «Field Songs» / 2001, «Bubblegum» / 2004) and has collaborated with some of the greatest names of the modern Rock scene, like Queens Of The Stone Age, or Greg Dulli, η PJ Harvey, οι Masters Of Reality, as well as with Unkle, the Soulsavers and Isobel Campbell.

A few days ago, at 6 February, released his first personal album here and 8 years! 'Blues Funeral' was recorded on behalf of 4AD and is already receiving rave reviews from the entire music press around the world. Lanegan himself stated that his main influences when writing it came from his favorite albums, such as Gun Club's 'Miami' and Joy Division's 'Closer', including.
