* * * * * Electric Litany – How To Be A Child & Win The War * * * * *
North London, England [ 2007 – present ] Electric Litany is a rock band was formed in the spring of 2007 in North London, England. The lineup consists of:
[ Duane Petrovich from Texas, USA - bass ]
[ Alexandros Miaris from Corfu, Greece - vocals, guitars, piano, synths ]
[ Richard Simic from Devonshire, England - drums, percussion, cretan lute ]
The story of the band started, when Alexandros and Richard met in London. Alexandros moved from Corfu to London, while Richard was leaving Devonshire for London in search of forming a band of his own. Duane was the last member to join the band, since he was found by Alex and Richard through an ad.
Their first rehearsals were taking place in some pretty unusual places, like abandoned and derelict buildings. Since the rehearsals saw progress, they soon attended their first live concerts. Their first demos were recorded in an old pub by the name “Fallen Angel” (that was soon turned into an illegal studio, in need of a place for rehearsing).
Electric Litany have created their very own characteristic sound, that is very difficult to define and settle under genres. Though the fans usually refer to their sound as experimental.Over these years the band has managed to build a kind of reputation around their name and have created a fan base of their own.
In July 2009, the band started working on their first studio album. Recordings took place in an abandoned church of 1895, that has a very good acoustic quality. They only lasted 3 days and all songs were performed live under recording phase.
Soon enough the value of Electric Litany was appreciated by label Inner Ear Records and signed the band. Their first effort ” How To Be A Child & Win The War ” was released by Inner Ear on February 1st, 2010.
