THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Long before being labelled The Greek God of Style, Ohio’s Christoper (Gigi) Palassis was writing brilliant songs and playing guitar in obscurity to everyone except his family.
Finally, after stints playing guitar with Wake Up Mordecai, Jean-Michel, Jill & Micah and XL427, along with the lost output of L’Albatros, his tortured songs and brooding voice are ready to emerge in Lost Friend and the album The Promises You Don’t Keep.
The melodies that Palassis creates are breathtaking and heartbreakingly honest. These are moody pop tunes with loads of Greek guilt, shame, and sensitivity from the sultry voice and mind of Palassis, aided by drummer / keyboardist and co-producer Andy Ingram, and vocalist Irene Queen.”
