About The Stormies

The Stormies formed in Athens in 1964, releasing three 45s, two of which have killer garage songs sung in English. All their members played in other bands from the time: Alekos Glykas in the Charms; Cemos Petros in the Minis and the Forminx; Makis Saliaris in the We Five; Spyros Metaxas in the Sounds, We Five and maybe Cinquetti, and second drummer Loukas Sideris played with the Mini's and later Aphrodite's Child. The group wails away on Dilly-Dilly in finest beat style. The flip is the poppier Teenager's Love; both were written by Spryos Metaxas and Nick Mastorakis. Mastorakis wrote dozens of songs for the Charms, Forminx and others. Spyros breaks out the fuzztone for their next record, the rare "Try Try Try," and delivers an astounding solo. The instrumental on the flip, "Drums in the Storm" has a Bo Diddley beat and a good drum solo by Loukas Sideris.
