About Nikolas Asimos

Nikolas Asimos was a Greek composer, singer and performance artist. His real surname was Asimopoulos (Ασημόπουλος). Asimos was a very special case of a counter-culture artist, mostly because of his lifestyle. His behavior and songs were often received as provocative by the general public. He was a person with strong political opinions. Ideologically, he could be categorized as an anarchist but he never accepted being put in a specific political ideology. The tapes had an underground distribution by Asimos himself or his friends because he wanted to avoid his work being exploited by Record Labels. In 1982, he released his long-play record titled O Ksanapes (Ο Ξαναπές), "The Say-It-Again Man". Apart from the tapes, he produced during his lifetime a 45 rpm single with two songs and a full-length LP, as well as five compositions for a Vasilis Papakonstantinou record.
