The Berlin Brides are Natasha Giannaraki, lyricist and lead singer, and Marilena Orfanou, composer and keybordist. They met in the summer of 2007, rehearsed together and decided to form the band the following September. Conceived by their mutual love for the city and music scene of Berlin the band was formed in their hometown, Athens, Greece. The Berlin Brides' first demo was recorded in October 2007 and the girls started performing as a duet in February 2008, reinventing the music scene in Athens with their caustic lyrics and their combustible live performances. They have toured Greece extensively and have played alongside CocoRosie, Kap Bambino, Jessie Evans, and in EJEKT festival with the Subways, Klaxons, Jarvis Cocker and Royksopp.

They performed in the UK for the first time in June 2009 in Buffalo Bar, London, as winners of the Velvet Magazine Prize 2009. It was awarded to them by Artrocker Magazine, which labeled their self-released EP 'Failure to Wank' one of the two best releases of 2008. That performance granted them a slot in the New Bands Stage at Offset Festival in September 2009, where they performed to an enthused audience and received glowing reviews.

Their official debut 7" single "Rejection Junkie" was released on clear vinyl by Inner Ear Records in June 2010. Their debut album "Modern Celibacy" is eagerly awaited in October 2010, when they will also perform in North America for the first time at Indie Week Toronto.
