Evripidis and His Tragedies + Matte/Glossy + Xavier Scholz

Evripidis and His Tragedies is the alter-ego of Evripidis Sabatis, a multi-disciplinary artist from Athens living in Barcelona. The „Tragedies“ are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic and often darkly humorous pop songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills, to examine and ultimately own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis‘ pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre.
In 2021, Evripidis released his fifth album Neos Kosmos, combining his love of Doo Wop, Girl Groups, New Wave, Indie Pop and Bedroom Pop with richly textured electronic soundscapes, as well as a handful of singles and music videos.

Matte/Glossy

Behind Matte/Glossy hides Violeta, a former punk singer with classical vocal training, who starts Matte/Glossy in Vienna in 2017 with the intention of learning to produce pop songs on her own. After spending time as a singer for several Madrid punk bands (Las Cruces, Primer Premio) she decides to try her hand at pop, but without abandoning her DIY spirit. Inspired by artists like Aldous Harding, Soap & Skin, María Arnal, Fiona Apple… and from her room with her computer and a couple of instruments she starts writing songs. Compositions that give a twist to the traditional pop structures, without losing the catchy melodies and adding a halo of darkness thanks to the infinite harmonies and dissonances that accompany her voice, her main instrument of creation and undoubted protagonist of her music. The visual aspect is very important in Matte/Glossy. Violeta makes her own costumes for concerts and collaborates with graphic and visual artists to develop her artistic universe.
Her first performance was in June 2018 at the Praha Art Gallery in Brno (Czech Republic). In autumn 2018 she released her EP „First Recordings“ in tape format under the Viennese DIY label Yakamoz and toured Spain and Austria. She has released her debut album in July 2021 under the labels Numavi Records (Vienna) and Snap Clap Club (Barcelona).
