Artist Bio

My Excuse is an alternative modern rock band from Greece. American frontman Steven Triant formed the band in 2002 and in 2003 they released their first album with Universal Records. The album saw record sales in Greece in the “foreign language” category and the debut single “Happy” reached the number 1 spot on most pop/rock radio stations in Greece as well as a place on the “Zara Stores” soundtrack cd worldwide. After the success of their first album, they took a forced break due to their studies, and military obligations in Greece.
​
In 2009 they reunited and in 2010 released the single “Is it Over Now”,produced by Grammy award winner Ronald Saint Germain and overseen by Safta Jaffery (Taste Media). The single saw huge success in Greece and is part of their second album which they are currently working on. Their second single will be released in 2012 by EMI Music in Greece.

My Excuse continue to perform in Athens and Thessaloniki (Greece) on a weekly basis as resident band in the four most popular clubs in the country selling out all their shows. They are considered one of the most successful English singing bands in Greece, the first to create such a fan base in a country dominated by Greek folk and pop music. Most recently they headlined the country’s largest filanthropic music/fashion show, Madwalk (MTV awards meets Victoria’s secret fashion show) and have opened and played festivals with The Subways, Suede, Chumbawamba and the Fun Lovin’ Criminals.
