Redeye Caravan is a big band with many musicians. Akis Kosmidis (vocals, acoustic guitar – music), Valantis Dafkos (vocals, bass – lyrics), Panos Makoulis (electric, slide, acoustic guitars, keys, vocals – orchestration), Eleni Paraskevopoulou (vocals), Stefanos Strogylis (harmonica), Thanos Giamarelos (violin), Paris Gatsios (drums, percussion).

The caravan arrived loaded with music and words coming out of haunted worlds … guard your soul and follow it …Redeye Caravan released the full-length album Nostrum Remedium. A first idea of what was to come was given to us recently when the sound and video of the single El Muerto showed us the way the caravan has carved. The Caravan’s second stop is the song Good Man Richard, which is accompanied by a great official video too.

…. Old dreams die young in the new land, six feet down without a tombstone in these lands my dreams are haunting me, my dreams are haunting me…

The band states, «Welcome to the Caravan, stranger! Come, take a seat by the fire, warm yourself up and listen to this story…

…We’ re gonna take you back to 2019’s autumn, back when Akis Kosmidis was sitting by a fire – much like this one – fed by cheap whiskey. While he was singing and playing his guitar, he felt through the smoke the presence of long lost souls, dancing and feasting. One of them whispered in Valantis Dafkos’ ear secret words of all those things they lived through and that no one has ever known.

And that is when they knew what they had to do.

At the break of dawn, having almost lost their sanity, they set out for the nearest settlement. It was there that they heard rumors about a local alchemist, Panos Makoulis, who collects melodies and gives them shape and form. They met with him and he decided to travel with them so they could gather the missing elements needed to recount the stories of the dead. The carriage’s arrival was foretold by the oracle Eleni Paraskevopoulou who, after following the signs, decided to grace the alchemist with her melodic voice.

Thanos Giamarelos’ entrancing violin and Stefanos Stroggylis’ captivating harmonica were the two missing key elements. But something was missing… the beat that would set the pace for the dance of the dead. The tarot cards revealed Paris Gatsios, the last element completing the collection. Everything fell into place…

Our carriages are full of stories and otherworldly places shrouded in mystery, haunted by dark creatures, awoken by melodies and invoked to sing!

And so it was that the lone carriage turned into a Caravan… do you dare to join us? ».
