BIO :  Evi H. Watson and guitarist Panos K formed the band at the beginning of the 90s after the sparks flew between them during an audition. "I heard Evi sing, I was pretty much blown away says Panos. Pretty much blown away by Panos guitar and poetry herself, Evi left the band she was in and started singing and composing with Panos.

The duo were soon joined by friends musicians and
started playing live and recording their first album for Studio2 an
independent Athenian label. The album was adored by Greek and
International psychedelia fans.

The band won first price in the 1996 Scype (song competition of Youth Programs in Europe) competition, hosted in Copenhagen, where bands from all European Union countries participated including the UK and Ireland. Voted by live audiences all around Europe as their favourite band and 'Over' as their favourite song, Echo Tattoo eventually landed a contract with another Athenian label, FM Records.

Their second album Room of Toys was recorded in Bath and London UK, produced by Bryan New and released in 1997 in Greece, Belgium, Spain and Holland with AFM FM Records European sub-label and Viva Records (subsidiary of Snuff Garrett Records).

Echo Tattoo have warmed up the audience for great bands like the U2, the Fall, Giant Sand, Ian Mc Culloch and more, in their Live performances in Greece.

Their latest songs have been in the studio since 2003 and have recently been finalised to their current form. This time production/post production editing and mixing were Evi Hassapidou Watson's responsibility. Assisted, tortured and blessed by the presence of one irreplaceable Aris Christou of S.C.A. Studios and the ever jolly S.C.A.'s Theodore Zefkilis.

Long hours, hard work, fights, bits of fun, get together days and nights with all the vocalists and musicians who participated... And finally while listening to the pre-mastered final cuts, that inner truth of expressing your soul that brings tears to your eyes. Pleasure pain and joy.

Nutritional facts:
A remarkable vocalist, passion driven guitars, powerful innovative riffs, melodies and atmosphere that take you in and stay with you by Panos S' keyboard, a solid groove base by drummer Cali and Buddha on the bass and a surprisingly solid and imaginative production are the assets of this unique blend.

Echo Tattoo shout out loud for rights ever denied, for respect, equal opportunity and respect for the underprivileged, against war, for smart ecology moves, for the ultimate solution: love.

They feed the wanderer's soul, the philosopher's hunger, the romantic's ever so naive dreams and the child's need of getting out of control.
An Expressionistic Canvas of deep emotions and moving power.

Enjoy.
