Ding An Sich was formed in 1987 in Athens - Greece. Their first formation included: Nick Sarikostas - bass , George Polizos - drums , Takis Merekos - voice , and a guitarist whose name is forgotten. He was replaced by Dimitris Papalakis just a while before the recordings for the first single were about to start. In 1989 a 7 inch single named And / Wandering was released. In 1990 Vagelis Bekonopoulos joined the group as keyboardist. During that period, the guitarist Tasos Nomikos , replaced D. Papalakis. From 1988 until 1991, the band recorded the tracks which formed their first complete work named Old As Forever.New As Tomorrow. During this period, they performed some live shows too… the most remarkable of which are with Paul Roland and The Damned. Second Chapter (1993 - 1996) This period is distinguished for the substantial changes as far as the formation is concerned, but also their direction. Ding An Sich sustain as studio project only. The trinity consists of: Maria Batistatou - voices , George Ginis - Various / Effects , Nick Sarikostas - Programming / Keyboards , Some good friends of the band, offered a helping hand, and the album The Wanderer & His Shadow was released at the dawn of 1996. Third Chapter ( 1996 - 2004) Starting point of this period could be regarded any year after 1996. The oddity of this statement, lies in the fluidity in which the two remaining members - George Ginis and Nick Sarikostas - found themselves. Until 2004, many female singers made some demo recordings with the band. These recordings formed the collection named We Are Involved In A War. Some of them may be recorded again, for the forthcoming album. Fourth Chapter (2005 - ? ) The dawn of 2005 showed good signs for the years good prospects for what is about to happen. G.Ginis and N. Sarikostas work hard for the preparation of the new album, while Nick Sebekopoulos (or Acimi) joins as guitarist, after a while, Kely Kapetanaki expresses her interest to participate as frontwoman and singer. And the band is finally formed as follows: Kely Kapetanaki - voice , Nick Sebekopoulos - guitar , George Ginis - Effects / Voice / sequencers , Nick Sarikostas - Bass / voice / keyboards / tibetan bowl / theremin. |
