Kore. Ydro. are a musical group from the Greek island of Corfu.
Kore. Ydro. were formed in Corfu during the autumn of 1993 by 15-year-old schoolmates Pantelis Dimitriadis, Giorgos Arvanitakis and Spiros Katagis. Konstantinos Amygdalos joined in 1997 and Spiros Katagis departed in 2000. Pianist/multi-instrumentalist Alexandros Makris joined in 2001
Their early output was as "no-fi" home recordings of trash aesthetics, peculiar live performances, unprocessed video-clips and humorous short "films". Their self-produced official debut If All Ever Ended Here was released in March 2003 by the Greek label Wipe Out Records in a run of 515 copies. The free download-only mini album Seven Months Later followed seven months later.
February 2004 saw the release of the first official Kore. Ydro. video - also produced by the group - for the song "Your Kindness" , the highlight of If All Ever Ended Here.
Almost three years after the release of the critically acclaimed debut and after many postponements, Kore. Ydro. released a new album on a new label (Capitol/EMI), Cheap Pop for the Elite .
The album's title referred to the self-proclaimed "new post-erotic, post-christian, post-communist, post-progressive, post-post-punk manifesto" of the band. The album was recorded before the EMI contract in the group's home studio in Corfu by Pantelis, Alexandros and the three new members: drummer Alexis Apostolidis and the guitarists Spiros Spirakos and Nickos Varotsis.
The record has received enthusiastic reviews by the Greek music press and the first single/video (produced and directed by the band) "No More Affairs" is already a hit.{[fact}}
