The Callas share new video "The Same River Twice" off Lee Ranaldo tie-up LP
Premiered January 24th, 2020 
The Greek art and music collective The Callas have a new video for their track “The Same River Twice.” The cut is off the group’s standout 2018 album with Lee Renaldo, Trouble and Desire. Combining the hypnotic pulse of psych with post-punk’s urgency, the record produced one of our favorite tracks of that year, “Acid Books.”
On January 24th, Dirty Water Records released a deluxe reissue of the album featuring three new tracks. In celebration, The Callas have released a video for “The Same River Twice,” which was also the name of their 2019 art show curated by Margot Norton and Natalie Bell at the New Museum in New York and Deste Foundation in Athens.
Simmering with throbbing low end and a motorik rhythm, the track is coupled here with colorful and abstract images of running water. They might have called Heraclitus “The Obscure” back in his day, but he was pretty clear when he said that you can’t step in the same river twice. Or can you?
If you live in Athens, don’t miss The Callas record release show on Saturday, January 25th at Temple with Post Lovers also on the bill that night. For more info follow this Facebook Events link.

The Dirty Water Club started in October 1996 in the Tufnell Park neighbourhood of north London, at a venue called The Boston. The club's name is derived from The Standells' 1966 hit 'Dirty Water' which glorifies the US city of Boston, Massachusetts.
Past performers have included The White Stripes (voted by Q Magazine as one of the top 10 gigs of all time, Mojo one of the top 30 and Kerrang one of the top 100!), The Gories, Country Teasers, Black Lips, NOBUNNY, Kid Congo Powers, The Fleshtones, Billy Childish, Radio Birdman, The Dirtbombs, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, The 5.6.7.8's, The Horrors and The Brian Jonestown Massacre to name just a few. The club has also seen some original '60s performers, such as The Monks, ? and the Mysterians, Kim Fowley, Sky Saxon, GONN, Michael Davis of the MC5 and more grace its stage.
Their in-house record label, Dirty Water Records, is one of the leading garage/beat/(real) R&B labels in the world.
