The Smokey Bandits is a 14 piece band that moves around a wide music range, from Gotan Project to Calexico, always using in a really imaginative way elements of the Greek and the Balkan music tradition giving a unique and dynamic character to their sound.
The Smokey Bandits project began on October 2007 in the Quasamoto
studio in Athens and was finished on 2009’s February with the last
compositions and mixes in Thessaloniki. Their sound is inspired by cult
movies soundtracks from directors like Quentin Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, Danny Boyle and Pedro Almodovar. The basic idea behind the Smokey Bandits
music is to combine music from different decades or even better to give
a modern approach to yesterday’s music so that the new generations
could easier appreciate. The second idea is to blend 20th century
traditional music from all over the world, starting from Greek - Balkan - Mediterranean and reaching Mexican - Surf - Western - Brazilian and Afro Latin.
