Eutopia
Acoustic/ Powerpop/ Rock

 
Greetings space cadets! Welcome to the music of 'Eutopia'. The Greek term 'Eutopia' means a 'perfect, safe and good place', which is the same of our music and our fans! (good music and greater fans!!) Your comments and opinions are always welcomed...so please comment away! For latest developments.. Watch this space and Hope to see and meet you all when we play live!!

The band features the playing of guitar virtuoso, Alexander Kotziamanis, who is the main driving and creative force behind this super-group. Alexander is left handed and yet plays the guitar right handed. (Darn, I'm right handed and I'm still wondering how he does those mad arpeggios with tapping?!?! -I guess that's why I'm never going to play pro! - ed.) Alexander is totally self-taught. 'I was 15, and I saw my bro playing guitar with another friend.... and I just thought..I can do that, easy! So that's when I began to learn. I could only play two things for a whole year -'missi' (mississippi) blues' and the beginning four bars of a Def Leppard song called 'Women'. I thought I was just awesome....my parents and friends thought otherwise!!' I took Leppard, Van Halen, Bon Jovi , The Police, Deep Purple, Coverdale, Megadeth, Zeppelin, Free, Clapton, Duran Duran, Theodorakis, Hadgidakis, Dalaras, Alexiou, Hendrix, Queen, Yngwie, Di Meola, Abba, Elvis, John Williams, Cat Stevens, SRV, Beach Boys, J.S Bach, A. Vivaldi, Haydn, Handel, W.A Mozart and Beethoven....put them in the blender, and Eutopia is the result!' (real haute cuisine! haha! ed)

Alexander plays Fender electric guitars and on those quieter moments he uses Godin multiac nylon and Ovation custom legend (This is the acoustic used to record 'I'm Not Alone!) acoustics. He is also particularly fond of the HM series strats and Vintage sunburst electrics. For Amplification Alexanders main driving tone is found in ENGL amplification, but he is also very keen on the tones of Fender vintage + Marshall plexi amps also. A big fan of vintage and modern effects, Alexander uses (and forever sings the praises of!!) Keeley,T-Rex, Morley, Analogman and Boss pedal units.

Eutopia are truly dedicated to their art of writing, what is best described as 'romantic solid power metal pop!' Citing influences from Beethoven to Elvis to Def Leppard to Greek traditional music, this is a very eclectic musical background.
