Being spontaneous last evening we drove a few km away from Athens to the third and last day of Rockwave festival. Headliners were Dead Can Dance, which automatically means that the crowd would be a small one, since while they're good they're not that famous.
Other than them there was a wide variety of music styles, from extreme metal (septic flesh) to funk/soul (monophonic), and from brit pop (Greg Walker) to some sort of melodic metal-opera (chaostar), there were also a couple of other bands but we went to the venue a bit later so we're clueless.
Chaostar - A greek band a la nightwish, but not as metal. We also found out, just now, that some of the members plays in Septic Flesh as well. They were good by the way!
Greg Walker - Ex brit pop "star", known from Archive. He had a great attitude and made sure that everyone else around him felt at ease... (not). His irish humour though made the first negative impression subside. Very talkative too, couldn't stop himself calling everyone a bitch haha.
Monophonics - All da way from california, sort of the black card really, very energetic and dancey, the singer had a very James Brownish voice.

Septic "we are highly influenced by dead can dance" Flesh - Another greek band, no comments from Aris (not my cup of tea). And many comments from Isabella (scary as hell, it felt like they wanted to murder me when they sang, it's the devils music whaaaa!), no but really, huuu.
Dead Can Dance - Aris comment (my cup of tea!). Isabellas comments (hai!) <--- inside humour don't bother...
