Katerina Panopoulou is an untypically dark indie
rock/alternative singer/songwriter from Athens, Greece. Her music has
been described as a cross between PJ Harvey and Radiohead, and she has
been recommended by publications such as Target Audience Magazine,
Pure Grain Audio and Loud Horizon. She started creating music as a
teenager with friends, and that's when she got the bug. One year later
when the fledgling band broke up, she got herself her first electric
guitar and wrote her own songs.

In 2001 she moved to England to study music. Two years later, back in
Greece she teamed up with guitarist Gina Dimakopoulou, violinist
Katerina Michailidi, bassist Iakovos Siaparinas, drummer Dimitris
Panagiotopoulos and formed the band Dementia Praecox. After many live
performances in Greece, she moved to London to further her studies.
During her stay in London, she performed as a solo acoustic artist. In
2007 under the indissoluble name Katrin the Thrill, she participated
in the Coca Cola Soundwave competition and won a place among the five
best music acts. The video clip of the song "If You Believe in Dreams"
was shot and the track was included in the "Music on the Coke side of
Life" compilation. For the next two years Katrin the Thrill performed
in Greece at Terra Vibe, Gagarin 205, Vrachon Theater, European Music
Day, Bios, Athens Gay Pride, Festival Against Racism, Indie Free
Festival and was the opening act for Manic Street Preachers, Greg
Dulli and Electrelane.

In 2009, following the devastating fires that swept through Greece, as
well as many other places around the world, the concept for "Earth Is
Calling Us" EP was devised, and the need to take action and help
reforestation was fully realized.

In December 2010, "Earth Is Calling Us" was released as her first solo
project with Gina on guitar, Maria Roka on bass and Tolis Toleas on
drums. The EP is dedicated to the earth and the environment and part
of the proceeds goes towards the reforestation of the burned forests
of Greece. In January 2012 the first reforestation was successfully
completed.

In December 2011, after eight months of intensive studio work, her new
album was ready to be released, but an unfortunate event postponed
everything; at the last minute the record label deal broke down and
all production costs needed to be covered for the album to see the
light of day. A successful Indiegogo online campaign was organized,
and Katrin?s fans raised over $2,000 to bring her unique vision, "Evil
Eye Charm" to reality.

Her new album "Evil Eye Charm", is set to be released on September 10, 2012.
