Thee pancakes were a good garage/surf band from Greece. Surf music seemed a lot more popular over there. The Mummies are a grungy garage band that I used to enjoy, quite rough though haha.

They had a reunion in the past few years and played some shows for the first time in at least 5-10+ years.
Not sure if they are still at it but I hope to get a chance to see them live at least once before they are gone for good.
Here are some random facts about Man Or Astroman:
They claim to be aliens sent to earth to play surf rock.
Quote:
In 1998 Man or Astro-man? sent a group of "clones" out on the road to tour.[2] The clones had names similar to their original counterparts: Birdstuff became Dorkstuff, Coco became Cocoid, Star Crunch became Chromo Crunch and Dexter X became Dexter Y. This new line-up toured under the name "Man or Astro-man Clone Tour Alpha" and maintained their clone identities while on stage.
Quote:
After the success of the Alpha Project, Man or Astro-man? "cloned" themselves a second time, in 1999, this time using females, who adopted the names Coco Active (Guitarist/Vocalist Shonali Bhowmik), Chromia Staria (Guitarist/Vocalist Deb Davis), Tweety-Tone (Drummer/Vocalist Ani Cordero), and Carol (Guitarist/Vocalist Shannon Wright), and toured nationally under the name "Man or Astro-man? Clone Project Gamma."
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free
