Ody Icons (CY)

H μουσική οικογένεια των ody icons δημιουργήθηκε το 2019 στο Παρίσι αλλά υπήρχε από χιλιάδες χρόνια πριν. Μέσα από το θεατρικό τους στιλ δημιούργησαν ένα αμάλγαμα μουσικών ειδών: Η ποπ συναντά την παραδοσιακή μουσική, η world μουσική συναντά την ροκ, η alternative indie συναντά την 70’ς glam σκηνή. Έχουν μέχρι σήμερα κυκλοφορήσει 2 EPs ενώ το 2023 κυκλοφόρησαν το πρώτο ολοκληρωμένο άλμπουμ τους με τίτλο POLYDRAMA με τραγούδια κυρίως στα αγγλικά αλλά και στιγμές στα ελληνικά και τα κυπριακά. Από τις εμφανίσεις τους σε underground Αθηναϊκά πάρτι μέχρι τις συναυλίες τους στο Ίδρυμα Πολιτισμού Σταύρος Νιάρχος και το main stage του Athens Pride στο Σύνταγμα, από τις συνεργασίες τους με την Στέγη Ωνάση μέχρι και φεστιβάλ στην Ελλάδα και την Κύπρο οι ody icons καταφέρνουν να παρασύρουν το κοινό τους σε ένα αναπολογητικό χορό και μια εκτονωτική θλίψη.
