Vasilis Klb is the lead singer of the band “Kissamatic Lovebubbles”, who started their career way back in 1991. After taking a break in 1995 they eventually reformed in 2017. Their sound is one from the underground, noisy twee pop with a lo-fi garage punk edge and even though the band only released one single for the now legendary label “This Happy Feeling”, their songs have been included on many compilations, tapes etc and featured in several fanzines. 

Vasilis also hosts his own radio show in the nineties and along with his colleagues from the 90s Athens indie pop scene creates the popular fanzine called “Make Me Happy”. You can also quite often catch him DJing out and about, spinning his vinyl collection at unique parties and late night clubs. 

Bring us up to date, he runs his own successful independent underground label called “Old Bad Habits”. The label started off as a home for Kissamatic Lovebubbles but then almost immediately turned into becoming a label for other acts as well. The Greek label has released some of the most important and exciting records with artists from the area and beyond. The roster is full of indie music superstars like Jowe Head, The Flatmates, Arrest! Charlie Tipper, Beatnik Filmstars and The Yellow Melodies. 

This along with many other European acts the label also supports many homegrown artists like Jimmy Knows, Dark Matters, Red Light, The Acid Barretts and the mighty The WaterStriders. 

Vasilis is always working hard on new projects and is at present involved in building a network of European independent labels all sharing the same ethics and values. Helping to spread the spirit of the music they all love globally.
