A few years ago, Greek poet and writer Nicolas Vantis washed up on the shores of Ouessant. He fell in love with Brittany and with The Celtic Social Club.
Back in Greece, he shared our music with Filippos Pliatsikas, a major figure of Greek rock and founder of the band Pyx Lax.
Filippos in turn fell in love with our track Self-Important Clown and wanted to create a Greek version of it.
The lyrics were adapted so they could be sung in Greek, while staying true to the spirit of the song.
Today, Self-Important Clown is crossing the sea.
Just UNBELIEVABLE 🙂
Pyx Lax (Greek: Πυξ Λαξ, meaning “punching and kicking”) is a Greek rock band. Originally formed in 1989, they released their first recording in 1990, and had a critical and commercial success in the Greek music industry for fifteen years, before being dissolved in 2004. They reunited in 2011 for a tour in honor of Manos Xydous who died in 2010. In 2018, they reunited permanently. They are considered as the most successful, commercially, group in the history of Greek discography with three gold and five platinum albums (among which: Gia Tous Prinkipes Tis Dytikis Ochthis, Stilvi, Yparchoun Chrysopsara Edo?). Some of their greatest hits were: “De Tha Dakryso Pia Gia Sena”, “Ti Ine Afto Pou Mas Enoni?”, “I Palies Agapes Pane Ston Paradeiso”, “Mia Synousia Mystiki”, “Epapses Agapi na thymizeis”, “Poula me”, and “Monaxia mou ola”.
