Burning Sticks

The Burning Sticks are a Greek band playing music covering the broad spectrum of the rock, pop and funk genre. Formed by guitarist and singer Chris Androvitsaneas at the middle of 2009, the band features front-woman and singer Nancy Symeonidou, guitarist George Stavroulakis, electric bassist Constantine Stamou and drummer Constantine Anastasiadis. Although the band mainly focuses on writing, arranging, rehearsing and recording original material, their live performances consist of both originals and covers, the latter being spiced up with the bands unique artistic taste.

This artistic taste was one of the things that were praised during the bands participation on the Greek X-Factor music show which gave the band nation-wide exposure and acclaim. X-Factor judges were very fond of Nancys voice for its technical quality and expressiveness and gave credit for the bands live act.

Quoting Mr. Leventis (former managing director of Ant1 TV and Sony Music USA), "This is a live act that I am willing to pay for". However, X-Factor is not the only TV exposure that the band has attained. The Burning Sticks were featured in numerous TV shows where they performed acoustically and electrically their own originals, including the show MAD Day Live which features Greece's most popular pop and rock artists.

The Burning Sticks have recorded their original single "Last Drink" which was featured at the Greek X-Factor show finals and are currently on tour for its promotion. The band is planning for an album release early next year.
