The Crooner's story begins in 1992, when Zissimos (guitarist and singer of One Night Suzan) started working on a solo project with the nick-name "The Crooner" in order to express his love for bossa nova music and bands like Everything But The Girl or Cherry Red Records. In his first acoustic live gigs he was assisted by Makis P.,then member of Next Time Passions. When he was preparing his first solo 7" for This Happy Feeling in 1994 the people who helped him were again Makis P, who also recorded and produced it, and Dimitris ( now D.F.A.) on drums and saxophone. Zissimos and Makis worked so well together that, after their bands split, they decided to collaborate permanently , thus turning the Crooner into a duo.more

First of all, l’ d like to clarify something: Impossible Tymes were not a band! We were (and still are) three good friends who shared the same love for pop and psychedelic music. We hang out, listened to records and got inspired by some of them. We rehearsed in our home studio, drank tons of beers (& pepsi) and had loads of fun! Sometimes just the three of us, sometimes with other friends who came over and helped!more
