Philip & The Border Breakers
The rock legend Philip (Philippos Pliatsikas), lead singer of the band Pyx Lax, and one of the most significant artists in Greece the last 25 years, is releasing his first album in English.
Eleven songs of genuine vintage rocke, with shades of all sorts of Mediterranean music.
A whole slew of shining international notables from all kinds of fields exemplarily stands for THE KEY’s wide musical spectrum! Amongst others „The Godmother of Punk“ Nina Hagen joins Philippos in two unpredictable duets, “Rejoice” with lyrics by Nina and “Save Me”. Legendary Scorpions writer and axe Rudolf Schenker shares his “Love is the Answer” with him. Soulful and ethereal singer Liset Alea joins with “Blue”. The album rounds up with fabulous Norwegian Åse Kleveland, in her characteristic hoarse and direct voice she wonders “Where Should We Go Now”.
Production, arrangements and instrumentations of most of the songs are handled by Nina Hagen Band members Warner Poland and Michael O’ Ryan in their studios in Berlin with additional recordings by Philippos’ Greek companions and collaborators John Skoutaris, Nick Saltas, George Livadas, Haris Michailidis and Alekos Arapis. The latter make up the multinational and multicoloured kolektiva The Border Breakers – Philippos’ current band who created the general sound of THE KEY and will accompany Philip at his upcoming live performances throughout Europe.
