History Waterpipes

Waterpipes consists of two members, Marcel and Dennis. The Dutch and the Greek met in Athens where, after a big debate whether Dutch Gouda cheese is better than Greek Feta, they discovered their mutual love for songwriting, instruments and music in general.

After regular jamming and performing on the streets, hills, parties and bars around Athens, the two decided to give it a name and record some of their songs.

Waterpipes was born and the result was a four song demo cd. This demo cd was soon heard by several people in the music industry and after no time they were approached by DJ Johnny Kouloukakos from a major radiostation, who were so enthusiastic about their songs that they decided to produce Waterpipes' first full album. One of the songs of the album, 'water flows', was released on a compilation cd for EMI-records in 2007, with the likes of Richard Ashcroft, Placebo, Franz Ferdinand, the Vines, the Kooks, Lily Allen etc.

Their first full length album has just been released in 2008 on Impact records and contains 11 beautiful songs.

Waterpipes just released their second studio album titled 'Downright Melodies' (2011) on Legend records!

They are currently playing lives with a full back up band. Alexis on bass and Antonis on drums.
