On the occasion of the Record Store Day 2024, Veego Records presents a new double A-side single by MWC that compiles the recent digitally released covers on Peppino di Capri’s “Melancholia” from the mid-60s and Giannis Floriniotis’ “Melodia” from the early 80s. On the sleeves, 2 photos of photos the band discovered by accident and decided to rework, as part of the project.

“Melodia” was nominated for the stormy national final of the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest, performed by Yannis Floriniotis and the Garbi sisters. The song was not selected, Anna Vissi travelled to Holland with “Oto-Stop” and “Melodia” was never officially released, surviving in an archive video of an ERT tribute show to Floriniotis. My Wet Calvin, revisiting yet another rare moment in domestic music history, deconstruct the disco original at a lower tempo, like a 45 that, by mistake, was played at 33 rpm.

In May 2023 My Wet Calvin presented “Mystery 106 Chamomile – Transit”, a concert/guided tour from the roof of a traveling tourist bus. For five days, the bus traversed Western Athens, following the route of the Eleusinian Mysteries procession. In the LiFO x Elefsis 2023 podcast (greek content) you can listen to an audio recostruction of the event.
Melancholia video was shot during 2023 summer vacations by the members of the band in Mathraki, Kimolos, Corfu and Akoli.

2023 • Veego Records • Digital single
“Melancholie”, originally by german sensation Die Bambis, was a huge success in our country by Peppino Di Capri back in 1965, that great that he even sang it in Greek. The lyrics, “Melancholy of September…”, accurately capture the Greek spirit, after the end of summer and vacations. The start of school, university exams, a new beginning in some other city or maybe another country will carry the marks of summer with them. Like the humidity that brings a forgotten, weathered greek tourism poster from the 70s at a travel agency. The classic song has never been covered by any alternative band, and this is a huge challenge for My Wet Calvin. The sad vocals of the Athenian duo combined with 80s synths make it sound like an electric, autumn rain.

23—9—2023 • PLYFA, Athens
In September 2023, the musical constellations, the distant stars, the meteors, the pulsars, the black holes, and the zodiac circles that make up the sonic universe, where the generations of MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other lovers of social isolation have been wandering for the last 20 years, gather in the same space for a two-day, two-stage festival. The festival explores the sonic and artistic identity of a significant part of the past, present, and future of the local scene.
After successfully embarking for 6 consecutive rides with the double-decker bus to Eleusis, My Wet Calvin will play a regional yet important summer gig presenting their new greek lyrics repertoire.
15—7—2023 • Velvet Gardens Fest • Argolida

24, 25, 26, 27, 28—5—2023 • Athens → Elevsis
My Wet Calvin are presenting a concert-guided tour on the upper deck of an open-top sightseeing bus that will trace the route once taken by the procession leading to the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Meandering from the Dromokaiteio Psychiatric Hospital to that of Dafni, from the Diomedes Botanical Gardens to the port town of Skaramagas, from the River Kifissos to Lake Koumoundourou, from the rock group Diafana Krina to the bouzouki player Giorgos Zampetas, and from the song “O Babis o Flou” to Gaddafi, passengers on this sightseeing bus will go on a peculiar tour taking in “sights” and stories on the western outskirts of Athens that are often overlooked. The concert to be given on this moving bus features an expanded version of Chamomile, an anthology composition first released by the band in 2020.

Chamomile Live was one of (if not the) last concert to be held in front of real people in Greece. It happened in late September 2020, just before the endless 2nd greek lockdown hit. A few items from that gig’s merch remained, including some handmade chamomile multi-use masks and are now available to order via Inner Ear’s bandcamp page.
