Dr. Vodkatini

Band,
Latin, Jazz and R&B/Soul

Dr.Vodkatini were formed in the late 90s. The ten-piece band from Athens, Greece created by a team of experienced musicians who previously serviced the elite of the Greek jazz-soul-funk scene participating in other bands. Their sound is a cocktail (Vodka + Martini = Vodkatini!) consisted of almost all kinds of uplifting black music. Soul, acid jazz, disco, latin, lounge, easy listening, funk and hip-hop exist together in a modern style blender, but always with a cosmopolitan touch and combined with the philosophy of "bon-viveur"! This general philosophy is what features and differentiates the band from other Greek ones. The good mood, the uplifting music that sends the audience back in time and places & the stylized look, are what feature Dr. Vodkatini. Out of seasonal trends and labels, the band-collective of Dr.Vodkatini, traversing the eleventh year of life, continues to be one of the most active & attractive and suggestions of "live music" chapter all over Greece combining fun and quality with a unique way. The live appearances of the band overflow with party power, the "feelgood" atmosphere is more than noticeable and people are always leaving the place ... smiling! Musically, they perform material from their successful debut album "Indulge In A Big Swig!", songs from their upcoming second album that is coming out in the ends of 2010, and also many favourite "black" hymns of the last 5 decades from Stevie Wonder to Willie Bobo, and from Herbie Hancock to De La Soul as well, with the concepts “fun” “mood for dance” and “good communication with the audience” as the common features! Theis gigs through recent years are innumerable, and a band has played ... almost everywhere! From the smallest to the biggest clubs in Athens and throughout rest Greece like Thessaloniki, Patra, Aigio, Nafplio, Santorini, Corfu, Skyros, Naxos, Galaxidi, Preveza, Corinth, Kalamata etc. They have also participated in many festivals and concerts, various clubs, bars, beach bars, events, and even private parties, fashion shows, art exhibitions, opening parties, and also next to big Greek and foreign artists such as Mikro, Human Touch, Montefiori Cocktail, Nicola Conte, Salvatore Sango, DC Fontana, etc.
