31 July | 22:40 | Field Stage

Thrax Punks is a music group from Evros, a prefecture in Greek Thrace. The group had begun forming already in 2006, having a purely traditional style. Through the years the band has began experimenting and including a modern aesthetic and musical styles from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Having as core members Vaitsis Harakopidis, playing gaida and kaval, and Giorgos Stavridis playing davul and Thracian Lyra, they have been performing till 2010, the year they made their debut as Thrax Punks. In 2015, with the inclusion of Panos Ginis, electric guitar-base, the tune of the group evolved to have a more distinctly electronic sound, with live looping, psychedelic bridges, “heavy “ guitar sounds, math breakthroughs and a generally more punk aesthetic.
