Biography

Μινέρβα (Minerva) is an Athens-based garage/post-punk quartet that came in light in the last days of 2017. Three former schoolmates (George, Dennis and Jim) born and raised in the tropical city of Korinthos, reunited after years at the wrong place in the wrong time, and the result was a band with garage rock influences and unlimited thirst to play live music. Some months after, the band decided to extend its musical spectrum, and as a result its fourth member (Spilios) joined in. After sharing the stage with some household names from the greek underground scene (The Cave Children, The Steams, The Noise Figures, Whereswilder, Bazooka) Μινέρβα released their firs self-titled EP "Βέλβετ / Mama Shoe" in digital format, on September of 2018. In February 2020 after a ton of live shows all over Greece (Korinthos, Aigio, Patras, Kalamata, Leonidio, Sparta, Heraklion Crete, Samos) and taking part in some of the biggest summer festivals in Greece (Ζiria Festival, Under The Sun Festival), Μινέρβα are holding in their hands their first full-length album called "Konserva" both in digital and vinyl form. If there are three words that can describe Μινέρβα, those would be: Moustache, Garage & Desire!
