==History== |
||
The band was created in May 2008, with Christos Mastoras on vocals, Thanos Laitsas on guitar, Kostas Mavrogenis on bass, Pantelis Kyramargios on keyboards and Iakovos Sampsakis on drums. The current composition of the group emerged after the withdrawals of Iakovos Sampsakis (2015) and Pantelis Kyramargios (2017). |
|||
; 2009-2010 |
|||
Melisses first became known in 2009 with their single "Krifa" (Secretly, Greek; Κρυφά) and its accompanying music video. They participated on the Greek final for the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2010]] performing the song "Kinezos" (Chinese). Though they didn't win, the song became their second single and was a hit. After that came the release of their debut album ''Mistiko'' (Secret), which included "Krifa", "Kinezos" and 11 more songs. Three more singles were released from the album: "Epikindina Filia" (Dangerous Kisses), "Mistiko" and "Lonely Hearts". They also performed at the 2010 [[MAD Video Music Awards]] with [[Myronas Stratis]], singing "Prin mas dei kaneis" and "Kryfa". |
|||
The name MELISSES came from a random event. "We were all members of the group in Thiseio and we drank rakomela. At some point, a guy passes by and shouts "here are the best honeys, from the best bees!" "One of us stung the attack and threw the idea on the table to bring out the band Melisses", Christos Mastoras has said in an interview.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-05-15 |title=10 χρόνια "Μέλισσες": Πώς φτιάχτηκε το σπουδαίο συγκρότημα |url=https://www.in.gr/2020/05/15/life/music/10-xronia-melisses-pos-ftiaxtike-spoudaio-sygkrotima/ |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=in.gr |language=el}}</ref> |

; 2011-2012 |

In 2011 Melisses appeared again at the MAD Video Music Awards 2011, this time joining the band Vegas to perform the song "Auto to kalokairi". That summer they also teamed with [[Ivi Adamou]] for the song "[[Krata Ta Matia Sou Klista]]" (Keep Your Eyes Closed), which was later included on their sophomore album, ''Akou'' (Listen). The album was released on early 2012 achieving Gold status. It also featured the hit singles "San Skia" (Like a Shadow), "Oti Afines Miso" (Anything That You Left Half), "Piki Piki" and "More Than That". On the summer of 2012, they toured with [[Helena Paparizou]]. They also released a brand new single "Se Thimamai" (I Remember You) featuring DUOMO. |

They made their debut with the song "Kryfa", which remained in the top 10 of Greek radio for 3 months,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-05-15 |title=Μέλισσες: Οι μεγάλες επιτυχίες και το μήνυμα που συγκινεί |url=https://www.in.gr/2020/05/15/life/music/melisses-apo-kryfa-sto-kyma-kai-sto-sygkinitiko-minyma-tou-misi-kardia/ |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=in.gr |language=el}}</ref> while in March 2010 they released their first album, entitled "Mystiko". |
