Dirty Granny Tales are a melange of Tim Burton’s gothic storytelling, Tiger Lillies’ irony, Diamanda Galas’ presence, The Residents’ sterile imagery and Manos Chatzidakis’dream-like melodies. The band first formed in 2006, and since then has staged three shows in Greece. They have sold out the largest theatres in Athens and have presented their work in many festivals throughout Europe. The audiences positive reaction was the motive behind the band’s move to Berlin, a first step in an effort to bring their work to wider audiences world-wide.
