bandrop is dedicated to music and the city; the city and music. We invite bands to perform their music at a location selected because of its atmosphere, that can inspire the performance and feed into it in engaging ways. bandrop is much more than a music magazine or a city guide; it is not just a medium to listen to music or discover new places; it is a new way to inspire and experience amazing performances in unique locations.
bandrop was born and launched in Thessaloniki in June 2013 and intends to expand to various cities around the world.

Tendts – I Met a Girl
|
We are very happy to be returning with Tendts to bordeleau, the place that hosted our first meeting ever and our official launch back in October 2013.
Bordeleau is a collaborative initiative of creative professionals, who work independently and together, as a unique creative community. Apart from the bar, the co-op includes the bdl design factory (workshop & showroom) and two creative offices (graphic designers monoscopic and moving & still photography studio senselens). Most of the space and furniture are designed and built in-house, while the cocktail menu mostly includes signature cocktails, mixed by Larry White, member of bordeleau’s team and resident mixologist extraordinaire. Brothers Fotis and Christos Papadakis’ sound, combining bass atmospheres with organic performance, is very much in tune with bordeleau’s industrial space and grassroots philosophy. Their latest release with Berlin-based label Project Mooncricle has brought them alongside some of the most interesting emerging European electro artists. I Met A Girl uses loops as building materials that, added one on top of the other, construct an overwhelming soundscape. We watch them add sound upon sound upon sound and we almost become hypnotised by the repetitively palindromic image captured by the go-pros adjusted on their bodies. We don’t only see what they see, we move with them, almost unwillingly, as they perform this laborious creative task. Who said that Meeting a Girl has ever been easy? (L.C.) |
