Komodina 3 was a Greek band. Everybody knows them but nobody saw them to play. Like the band Ghost Train (or Kummitusjuna) in the film Zombie & The Ghost Train by Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki which is among my favorites. The story of Komodina 3 started n 2005 in Thessaloniki. Some musicians recorded an album, made 80 CD copies, hand-delivered them to some local men of taste. But they didn’t drive to their only show because was too cold out.

Seven years after the owner of Slovenly Records heard their CD in a van during the euro tour of his label’s two Greek bands, Bazooka and Gay Anniversary, and he released it.

One from Komodina 3 started electro-punk solo career as NOMOS 751

The Slovenly is a famous record label (more famous than the rnr666 records)  and as the Hungarians say: they don’t roll the shit. The Slovenly release the great Greek garage punk band, the Bazooka’s debut LP now. By the way, have you known that the bazooka is a homemade brass instrument? The anti-tank weapon got his name after it because of his similar form. Well. Last year the Bazooka gig was a smash hit in Budapest at rnr666 party. They are coming from Volos, from where the Argonauts started to find the Golden Fleece very long ago. Perhaps owing to an antique economic crisis. Well. Why I tell these? Because of I have to write something from them besides that this is a fucking good album and raw wild garage punk. Pump up the volume and click the player!

They are two parallel bands in fact.
