His parents were immigrants to Germany and he moved frequently. An important part of his life will go abroad with the main stations in Paris and Geneva. In Greece, begins to operate, as a guitarist on songs by Stelios “Salvador” Papaioannou, with the band Baby in Fire in the period from 1986 to 1988, when he retires. But creative period in his life is that of the wooden sword. This is both because of the high-profile and full recognition by a thirst for good rock electronic sound public and that the qualitative and quantitative magnitude of the longer work. The trip to the Wooden Sword will last until 2003. Top hits of the wooden swords were the songs “King of the Dust,” “Adrenaline” and “Melted Ice”. Much of the album of the wooden swords mentioned the scourge of drugs
Pavlidis and B-Movies
After “breaking” this, Pavlidis takes longer entirely in control of the work will show. His collaborations with musicians are more careful and the results that follow walk anymore and make-up without compromising the artistic and aesthetic path he chooses. Formed a new group so the B-movies who will now be the companions of. Initially me a melancholy, acoustic, sound taxidiariko not we had used Paul through the album “After you forgot” was released in 2004. Not that the melancholy element does not appear in many songs of ‘sword’ for example “I look at houses,” “Rainmaker”, etc., but seems to have accumulated huge nostalgikotita and grief even, that through the intensity and the “rage” of “swords” may feel that they are fully reflected in the work presented. The lyrics and the songwriting showcases the efforts of the FP put aside a little tension and a strong rhythmic element was dominant in the songs of ‘sword’. The acoustic guitar and various acoustic instruments (bass, trumpet) make their appearance and give a tone of peace in the inspirational lyrics like “The Gardener,” “The Broken Chair ‘,’ After you forgot” and “Moha”. It was an album unlike the expectations of fans and followers of the ‘sword’. The second disc, however, the FP returned in less untrodden paths for him musically. The album “Another Day” was released in 2006 is stamped on every piece and some of them made available for reimbursement to the (musical) roots are evident. The electronic component takes over lead role in the sound that offers a FP and the uplifting rate but not so “closely” as the old rock-goes-or rather, restarted to fascinate. “The wane,” “Reaper,” “Another Day” is the most representative examples of playing the dominant disk while there are more slow songs such as the “Deep coral” and «Super star». The “What the Ship All Enough” is the third album by Paul Pavlidis and B-Movies, and arguably the brightest. He describes it as a “bike ride” and that feeling of euphoria is diffused throughout the disc, but holding the down to earth and intimate confessional, like a look at a diary that could have belonged to kathena.Melodies spring and mature carefree dress lyrics nostalgic, bittersweet, but surprisingly romantic and sexual meet for first time in the repertoire of Paul Pavlidis. A disc is not fed into electric guitars and frenzied pace, but extroverted, sweet melodies and lyrics that speak of laxative “Beautiful Days” and “Memoirs of Music” washed out “White Squall”.
Throughout the course of Paul Pavlidis is an artist who experimented, risking to sound, but always maintaining a high aesthetic in his art but also a moral denying the star dust that profusely offer SMEs in rock bands. Continue his journey to the rock scene “… has no end …».
