1000mods were formed in the summer of 2006 and since then, they have played more than 100 live shows including openings for Brant Bjork, Colour Haze, My Sleeping Karma, Radio Moscow, Karma to Burn and Greek Stoner legends Nightstalker.[1] In the beginning of 2007 they released their first (self-released) EP Blank Reality on CD, and in December 2009 they stroke back with a brand new 7" EP titled Liquid Sleep, available on coloured (light green) Vinyl by the Greek label Catch The Soap productions.[2] They also released a limited edition split tape with the German psy-doomsters Wight.[3]
In October 2010 the almighty Billy Anderson, the man behind legendary albums (Sleep, Melvins, Neurosis, Om, Los Natas, Orange Goblin etc...), visited Greece in order to produce the band’s debut album Super Van Vacation.[4] The album artwork was designed by the acclaimed Malleus Art Rock Lab.[5] The German label Kozmik Artifactz released the album on Double Vinyl[5] and Catch The Soap on Digipack CD[4] in September 2011.
1000mods had their first European tour in October/November 2011 in order to promote their debut album. Their tour included more than 25 gigs in 12 different countries. Some of the highlights of the tour were appearing as special guests in Up In Smoke 3 and supporting White Hills. [6]
The name 1000mods is a wordplay of the band's hometown, Chiliomodi.
